I purchased this host here. Gold Pen host kit [GLDPEN] - $24.99 : Cajunlasers Store
I used a copper module with an M140 diode. The diode is pressed into the module and the module presses into the top of the laser.
The driver is the BlitzBuck V2 1.17A
The laser is powered by 2 10440 and is case positive
I cut the threading off of front cap piece as it is not needed and now use that piece as the lens holder/focus adapter. It also serves to cut the sides of the lasers beam somewhat and the spot I am left with is MUCH more pleasant to look at. It appears now to have way better divergence. I will measure this soon.
I am using a 3 element glass lens and getting around 850mW.
Because this laser does get warm rather quickly do to the lack of heatsinking it is only to be used 15-20 seconds at a time.
I love the gold plated look to it. This is one of my favorite builds ever.
Here are some photos of my new beauty.
The rivet in the power curve is where I accidentally released the power button.
Thanks for looking.
