I need help changing my cents into dollars and my lead into gold. Sorry man, but you bought a 10mW laser - that ain't gunna be burning much if at all. You need to buy a more powerful laser.

lol ;D couldn't have said it better.

Buy a 140mW 650nm Sony 16xdvd burner laser diode w/ aixiz laser housing w/ shipping (for both) w/ 3v power supply for +/- 60$ and you got yourself a burning laser! - Kipkay laser hack, I've built (2) and after 4 months, so far...so good. lol, just my thoughts...

Clearly :
Btw Ace, my kipkay laser is going strong for 5 months now and I'm using the hell out of it....maybe I got a good diode or maybe it's just Ni-MHs being kind to it.
Anyway Evilangel , you should try making a DVD laser or just buy a powerfull one.By modifying low powered one , you're gonna end up with useless junk anyway :

Finally, someone who doesn't knock the "anti-driver" set up! I actually built two, and both have been working very well. I've posted some pics here of one http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1205047730 I know it isn't the most professional, but works excellent! I love "carving" into dark materials with it! It's my experiment to "put the diode to the test" as I've used them both like crazy with no problem. I use NI-MH too @ 1.2v X 2 , BTW.
