Damaged Focus/Collimating Lens

[Guitarship1]

I have an Amazon Special, Dinsom brand blue laser. It has an adjustable lens in a brass holder that screws into the crown of the laser. It has somehow become damaged, would someone be kind enough to point to a suitable replacement, Pictures if need be. Thanks.

I Can send you a plastic lens to try to determine the thread size. If it fits do not use it in your laser it will melt. The you can go on eBay and order a lens of M9x0.5 thread. I need your name and address to send the lens.

It looks like this one, but ehh.... could be, looks like it's wideband AR coated glass so I expect it will work as long as the threads are correct, some use 8mm and some 9mm usually 0.5 pitch.

Your old lens looks like it was killed by the laser beam itself. A plastic lens will just melt at the power we're putting through them. Glass lenses can crack or shatter if they have dust or other contamination on them.

Let me get some calipers and a thread pitch gauge and go from there.

Its funny cause it worked the last time I used it, and then the next time, all messed up. I dont usually run for a long period of time. Shrug, who knows
