Specs LOL I don't even have the diode or the driver yet, still waiting for them to arrive. I'm planning on putting a 803T something or another blu-ray diode pushed @ 90ma by Dr. Lava's flexdrive2, running off 1 CR2 battery. The lens assembly is a DX red module with Clear acrylic lenses and with the small hole in the back cut away.

anyone know the lowest voltage I can drop the rechargeable DX Cr2's to before recharge? On the battery itself it says cutoff voltage 3.6volt and 2.0 volt. I'm not sure I trust what it says on the battery. Anybody in the know?

[thejunkmonger]

everything needs a name so here's mine, ok ok don't laugh it's the first thing that came to mind with the letters I had available. Hope you guys can see the pic.

Getting a little done at a time. Those are raised Bronze or Brass letters LOL I still don't even know what material my laser is.............

Think i'm getting close to what the final product will look like.

105mm long 18mm diameter could make it much shorter but then it wouldn't be comfortable to use.
