Hi Guys,
I bought 2x this host http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1442
And I plan on putting a 405nm laser in one. But I was thinking, if I remove the reflector and LED, and carve out where the LED was, and stick the module in there with some glue (which is how you guys do it right?), what holds the other end of the module? The lense is either plastic or glass, so I can't make a hole in that to hold the other side. So besides a custom heatsync, how do you hold it in the host?
Please refer to my mspaint diagram
