"ZY-C0 Turret" 750mW 445nm w/ Hydra Adapter
I love the look of this fellow, and chronicled the build here. For a small 16340 host, this guy packs a lot of density. The inner metal host walls must be almost 5mm thick. The frosting here however, is very clearly the beautiful "hydra" focus adapter made by friend of the forum, Flaminpyro. It's a wonderful touch!
It was built rather conservatively. Output LPMs at 750mW with a fully charged cell. I recommend using a good quality IMR cell to maximize the amount of current the driver can pull in. It uses a variation of the Ben Boost driver, without polarity protection (so make sure the cell goes in + forward).
Since 750mW is getting to be in the lower range as far as output goes these days, I'm asking $175 shipped. I think it's a remarkable laser for that asking price, but I'm still, as always, more than happy to entertain offers.
You MUST own laser protection goggles appropriate for this wavelength, and
You MUST be over 20 years of age, and
You MUST be familiar and experienced with the appropriate safety precautions to take with lasers of this power.
You MUST NOT be a resident of Canada
This is not a laser pointing device. At all times, protective laser safety glasses appropriate for this wavelength must be worn by the operator. This laser should not be used around 3rd parties (non-operators) pets, or for any recreational purpose.
