Focusing glass pieces?

[BlueToast]

Would someone be kind enough to direct/recommend me to some optics for focusing my 445nm 1W laser?

Just twist the lens on the front to change the focus.

Heh, well, after this incident and spending $90 + other costs to get my laser repaired (totally up to roughly $500 for an Arctic Spyder S3), I don't think I will be disassembling my laser and making such attempt. I'm happy enough that I have a 1W 445nm laser that works.

(For those wondering about my laser story, yes, I will be posting a new thread sometime late-December or in January with pictures and a positive note about Dave's repair )

Just get a magnifying glass, works pretty good.

Or any convex lens. 50 cent thrift store cameras come to mind.
