Anyone Able To Build Me A Laser?

[jakeyboii]

is Anyone Able To Build Me A Laser or sell me a laser, i'm living in Australia so things are hard.

i've tried building my own with no luck, i'm not very good at that stuff, i have a 1mw green but it's very dull and boring.

i'm looking for something with a bit more power, i do have the safety glasses..well they on there way (being posted)

so overall i am just wondering if anyone out there will help me, in my quest to obtain a beautiful laser, I'm also 20 yr's old and living in Melbourne Australia.

Thanks for taking your time in reading this.

Have you tried actually shopping through this thread and the Laser Pro Shop board?

There are lots of people who can build a laser for you or who already have one built to sell you

Your biggest problem is living in Australia
Builders won't accept the responsibility of your customs catching and confiscating the laser
That means that you are taking the risk of both the monetary loss AND your customs coming down on you

Peace,

I sold to a few Aussie customers before, had to ship 2 seperate packages though to get past the strict customs system. 1 package was just the head of the laser (diode & driver) marked as 'LED lighting/LED diode' and the other was the rest of the unit marked as flashlight parts. I was advised on shipping using this method & it worked flawlessly - only downside was the expense of sending 2 packages but the customer who recommended this method explained it was worth it gettng a high powered handheld into Australia.... :beer:

a good smuggler never divulges his secrets. just sayin':shhh:

HA these aren't secrets cheech, my buyer advised me to follow this method & assured me we'd have no problems with customs. He was right

I'm just passing along some good advice for anyone willing to help out our Aussie friends :beer:

Does that host have a brand 'name'? Maybe you can find a heatsink compatible with it!

 

[jakeyboii]

i believe it's just called Xstreem 9 L.E.D

You could also try purchasing a host from Ebay and press fitting a module in?
It's pretty straight forward and you have dozens of combinations to pick from

From there you can move onto soldering diodes to drivers and so on!

We have it tough down here in Australia but it hasn't really stopped us
