hi, ive never built a laser or put one together, and ive only owned 1 5mw ebay laser.
im thinking of building one with lasery parts on ebay, ill have a list at the bottom of the parts. second option is to buy a laser host and install a high power laser into it(not much fun) or just buy a laser from wickedlasers (E3 Elite Lunar).
parts list:
Project box
Laser module will be upgraded with better diode
laser diode driver
Heatsink and holder (will add a fan to the box for better heat distribution)
bettery holder (using 3 batteries with jumper wire accross the 4th unless the driver needs power)
1 toggle switch for constant power and 1 push to make for quick on off power
could people please advise me how hard it would be to build and if i would need any parts.
ive got a reasonable knoledge of standard electronic components and experience soldering
thanks
matt
