Thanks lifetime17 for the host!
This is my first laser build ever.
I grabbed an astral drive V off ebay and an M140 diode.
Its using a g8 lens, and as others have said, you don't get an overly tight beam and its slightly parabolic in shape I'm pretty sure.
The beam is bright as hell and leaves a trail just like how you would write your name with a sparkler as a child.
I had to turn the lens round backwards to be able to screw in to get the right focus as the diode housing did not have enough thread to focus.
