DX 200mw loose lens fix

[Napalm_Fire]

I was toying with my DX 200mw and I decided the focus was too loose and I wound the threads once with some teflon tape. The focus became much smoother and no longer shakes back and forth.

If anybody is annoyed by the loose lens, give this a shot! makes the laser feel very high quality.

Yeah, that's been proposed before, and I've been using that method on my own for a while. It does work pretty well.

On another note, I was (sadly) surprised to see the word "loose" used correctly (instead of mistakenly used for "lose").

Mine is like this. Where do acquire some teflon tape?

any hardware or home improvement store with a plumbing section should have it. Sometimes it is called thread or pipe sealing tape. Its white, thin, stretchy and has slippery feel.

usually they are found in a blue or yellow and white donut shaped container.. costs about .99c a piece for something like a 10ft roll.
