Thought it would be interesting to start a thread on unique hosts that we have made that it's very unlikely anyone else has built. I am always trying to come up with new cool things to build in and have made quite a few that I have never seen anyone else do. If we all pitch in and post pics of them we can come up with new ideas or copy what we like. Cost has nothing to do with what you post. Could have been free to a million bucks and can certainly also include ones that someone else built for you. Up to you whether you feel like showing a beam-shot or not
Feel free to post whatever you think is unique that you own and even what is awaiting pieces/parts to complete your builds. I've put together quite a few hosts by combining pieces parts from different hosts. When I get tired of a flashlight it's always a candidate for some build fun. Good idea to keep those spare or leftover parts as you never know what you can combine to make that next awesome laser
THIS IS NOT THE PMAN SHOW! Love what you guys do!
Here's a few pics to get started. I'll add some here and there as others post.
As a reminder, if you notice any numbers from a label that is the max output. Anything in yellow is 100mW or above although I label some lasers that aren't black with a clear label with black lettering and that could be any mW rating.
These are maglites that I purchased rear push buttons for.
The left one works but has a momentary button and I didn't feel like getting something to keep it on
Awaiting some kind of build:
Don't know if anyone else does this but here's the cut down cheapo pens I have made (most of which I also made focusable). Not hard to cut them down and use a 10440.
860mW 16x 405nm
K, that's enough for me right now.
