Welcome to LPF! :wave: May I suggest the search button? Always look to see if the answer is already there before you ask the question. If you haven't yet, read the rules and stickies. Also if you do want help, please be specific. Do you want a specfic color? What is your budget, cheap is very vauge? Finally, do you have glasses? You must have glasses for anything above 5mW. Yes, good glasses are expensive, but you can't put a price on your eyes.
Have you made sure they are ok for the 600nm range? Do you want a handheld laser or would you perfer a base?
Maybe, To extract the diode?
Thanks for your help!!!Also the CPU and the some heatsinking. One of our members, styropyro, made a tutorial a while back. It's age restricted by youtube because of "danger" so you will need to log into to an over 18 account. Here is the link: DIY: Hack a Dead Computer into a Burning Laser! - YouTube
