O.K. I attempted a few different lasers recently and spent far too much on stuff to make them :eg:
I'm Sure its driving my Dear wife Insane but she has been more than tolerant of all the bits I've been leaving about I.E. Wire clippings , washers general laser building detritus ! She doesn't understand this new and expensive OBSESSION of mine eeeerrrm and neither do I.:crackup:
Mostly the Lasers worked but they were either messy in some way like wires a little too long or I believed I could improve something by fiddling and ended up busting something irreparably.
Anyway I made this with a host from A very decent member from here.
And I really like it because it has massive batteries etc.
And the side clicky button.
not mega powerful but good enough and it performs well.
M140 diode from DTR
1.8 amp x drive v6 from Cajun lasers.
a standard 3 element lens .:yh:

It is good enough to blind you in an instant... good looking laser, and good power.
The important thing here is that you did it... you made your first laser and you should be proud.

I've done that more times that I'd like to admit, grats on the first build.
