Supposedly pretty easy, here's how: International Forwarding Service

VERY INTERESTING !!! SO....one take away is to be found looking at the Taobao site is the offering of a completed HH unit....small....and by the LOOKS of the beam shots....a fairly good beam quality.....so this means the optical correction is minimal....and the LD is NOT a raw " Line Maker "....like the P73 !!!

THAT is great news !!! Some of our questions have already been answered !!! These LD's can...and will be suitable for the HH format !!!! HoHoHo Merry Christmas !@!

Now....we need to determine what optics are used to deliver acceptable beam quality, I would speculate just the correct collimation lens....and nothing more advanced !! WOW !!

CDBEAM=======>


OK....so now the divergence is likely to be 1.3mRad !!! EXCELLENT !!! Let's Roll !!!!!!!!!! So...now....I saw throw an O-like glass lens on the front end...and see what we get !! We have enough to buy from THIS source NOW !!!!!!!
Let's pull the trigger !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Not sure if I trust that site, I don't know anything about it or how it works, and we wouldn't be able to communicate with the seller if there is problems.

I wouldn't take the risk, but this is a community project, so whatever everyone thinks is best.

 

[POLISHEDBALL]

I'd wait personally unless someone has directly used this before. There bound to show up somewhere more known at this reduced price.

 

[Atomicrox]

Either way is fine for me

 

[Jmillerdoc]

Is this GB still open to additional entries? If so I would like in at $40

 

[andyf97]

ARG; What i suggest you do now is to start taking the payments and to keep collecting members to the list; we maybe end up with some people dropping out or more people coming in; in which case maybe we can get two diodes.

Replied to your PM Jmillerdoc

@andyf97
Sure, we're close enough to the goal that I feel comfortable taking payments now. I have added a PayPal donate button in the first post.
