Hello, I've got a question

[Jayson]

Wasn't aware there was a forum for the laser pointers. I've got a 1.2W blue (Prebuilt). Anyway, I've got $350 worth of Amazon gift cards and am wanting to try to buy and build my own laser. The parts required to build a laser, are they sold by Amazon? Also, is there a list of what's required? I'd like to make either another blue 2W+ or even a green laser. Thanks!

DTR sells diodes and complete modules on amazon. I would do a lot of research before you purchase though. You dont want something you will regret later. It will also help you use the search bar so you are able to figure how to build a laser.
Make sure you have proper safety glasses rated for the diode you are getting.
Survival lasers sells great eyeware.
Also fill out your profile so we can better recommend where to buy laser stuff.
Trust me it does not start and end with one laser.
Good luck and RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH.
use the search window at the bottom of the screen!

Most but not all can be found on Amazon:

AixiZ OEM Electronics @ Amazon.com:

It's also a good place to buy batteries, chargers, and safety glasses.
