You should post this question in the General section, this is "Off-topic" section, meaning it should not have posts that are laser related.

Anyway, a good kit to build a 445nm blue laser is, as I've heard, this one:
Survival Laser I 445nm Parts Bundle - Laser Components Only

It includes all you need.

And if your friend wants to build a laser, why didn't he join the forum and ask?

 

[DivanAsor]

he not in the home
and i am help him
we wanna start to deal with lasers
Ty buy 1200Mw For 200 $ ?:O
Why its so expencive ?
a lot of people in that forum sells 1.5W in 115 $ and more ..
have some more cheap ? good ?
Ty Again .

 

[Eudaimonium]

It is expensive because it had everything you need, and it is of very high quality, and because seller needs to make a profit.

If you find 1.5 W 445nm laser for $115, why didn't you buy that, then?

 

[DivanAsor]

First ,
I dont have now money,
Second .

You aren't going to get a 1W+ 445nm laser for under $100. The diodes alone are $50, then add another $10-30 for a driver, the host and then labor. Not going to happen.

 

[DivanAsor]

So how he is sell it for 115 $ ?
1.5W ?
Look more one
2W sell in 200$

Buy all the parts seperately for yourself, then, and see what it costs you.

You can get the laser diode here:
445nm M140 blue laser diode [445NM] - $49.99 : Cajunlasers Store

You can get your host and heatsink here:
Laser Host Kits : Cajunlasers Store

You can get batteries and chargers here:

And the knowledge how to put it all together in this forum. All you have to do is read tutorials and threads named "Sticky". All of them.

And for Class IV laser such as this you are attempting, you MUST have goggles:

Ty very much

 

[sinner]

Good luck with that too!
Eud: hats off 2 ya!

 

[Eudaimonium]

No probs, man. I should probably can that list for future uses, huh?

 

[sinner]

Like they're still not going to ask more questions time and again.. If you give them a hand, they'll ask for the whole arm.. when they go wrong , they'll put it on you.. not too easy to be nice!! the forum teaches us well and people should follow the lead and READ the shit out of it if they want to build a laser..
The I Want To Build A Laser Thread sorta tutorials are still there!!

 

[Eudaimonium]

I ONLY offer a hand, not the whole arm, wallet, and afternoon worth of time. Everybody needs to be set on the right track in the beggining, but asking for help along the way is what the problem is.

I've got no problems helping out people to start getting into this hobby.

I'm selling that laser for $115 because I'd like it to go quickly as I need money for a television repair. I built it for about 90 total using an M-140 diode and a mohrenberg just-add-diode kit.
