Hey all, first thread on LPF started by me, hopefully the first of many! Enjoy.

Little while ago, I started recreating AnselmoFanZero's Iron Man Laser. My spin at it is descent but it was a fun first project. I used an Osram PL450B 450nm diode with a 200ma boost driver powered by 2 AAA batteries.

If anyone wants to give it a try, heres the main body and heatsink I designed. I didnt save the shell but you dont want it anyways, I barely put effort into the design... hours of work saved right there :) (Highly inspired by AnselmoFanZero)

Special thanks to DTR for the diode, Flaminpyro for the boost driver, and Mrcrouse for the polished heatsink.

Pics were taken on my phone late at night when the paint finished drying. I'll invest into a good camera for some beam shots.

Thanks for checking it out :) If anyone wants some extra information, I'll be happy to help!
 





Very cool. 3w next with a hockey puck sized heatsink right ;)

Thanks everybody! Towards the front near my knuckles, there's a microswitch and at the bottom, there's a flick on/off switch for a safety which you can kind of see in the 3rd picture.
 
Welcome to the forum Brandenkokim from a fellow new member.

Nice job. I take it you are part of the heat sink. I didn't catch what current you are running at (The full 200mA?). How long can it run before it gets uncomfortably hot (heat sink side, not the business end)?

Yea, ryansoh3 has it right... it never gets uncomfortably hot, just a bit warm with some use.
 
Great work! You might want to try with some RC batteries to decrease the back size :)
 
Eh, you both did impressive work in my opinion! Though just like yours, I am curious as to how he turned his on and off. His seemed to be motion activated.
 
Thanks! I believe he uses switches very similar to mine, though I don't believe he features a safety switch :)
