I'm really new to this forum, this will be my first in fact, and i'm looking for some opinions for parts on my first build.
I had recently watched a video on how to build a 1mW laser but i had decided that i wanted something with a little bit less power for my first build. I have some parts picked out but i still have quite a few questions. Here is the list that i had in mind.
Host: DIY C6 Host Assembly
Driver: Survival Laser Driver 530mA version
Diode: DIY 660nm Diode, Module and Focusing Ring
As for the heat sink i have no clue. I had read another forum talking about heat sinks when the diode is case negative, which this diode is. Anodized or not? What would i do to insulate the diode? Also, what should I use for a lens? Help would be really appreciated. Thanks! :thanks:
