Help to make my laser

[elbelle]

Hi !

I'd like to make a new green laser, never did it before so your help would be appreciated !

Corrct me if im wrong :

1. Buy host
2. Buy the module
3. Press fit the module into the host by using a vice
4. Put batteries in

Is that enough to make a laser ?

TY !

Actually that host would work well...

Then just get a module, o-like has some decent ones, or the $10.00 one thats bouncing around on here thats almost 100mw. Then get the RCR123a battery and charger, set of googles, and you are set!

Yeah the fasttech module is a great deal. Pretty glad I stumbled upon it and told people in the forum because its well built and cheap! They also have a lot of other great products as well.

Thanks I was browsing around and found them they also have 100mW 405 modules like there greens, I'll have one soon for testing as well. I get my Panasonic 18650's there for a great price. Also don't forget to use the coupon code TENOFF for and extra 5% savings.

Its certainly not hard, the hardest part I think is taking your time, not getting impatient and blowing diodes...
