could someone organise a group buy for low powered diodes, 10-75mw, assorted wavelengths.

I wouldn't mind doing something like this.

But only after I sit in a Police Station and verify if all this is legal. But I'm pretty sure it should be fine, since the ban is on pointers and not diodes.

Re: australia diode group buy

The ban only covers pointers and you can probably import lab style lasers/modules and plain diodes still. Just don't let them know that you plan on making pointers with them and you should be fine.

Step 1=buy a bunch of these

Step 2=buy a dvd burner
step 3=make laser.

You should be able to. It is a non battery operated module and can't possibly be seen as a pointer.
