Prices Drop! 501B Kits (Plug-N-Burn add a Module w/ Driver!) Starting at $20ea






great! I've seen and heard enough... I,ll take three black with knurled knob kits. And two extra heat sinks only if possible (to swap n play). Im new and have no idea how the buying takes place. I have paypal. Do you know if there's any problems with getting these kits though Australian customs? send me some details on what the next step is. thanks
 
Just received my blue one and the workmanship is really outstanding.
You can't go wrong buying one of these hosts.
Thanks Mike

Really tempted to buy some black kits...must resist...! :p
Good luck with your sale! :beer:

Noob Q: What do you have to do to these hosts to make then complete lasers? I saw you said something about a module+driver, but I'm still new to this and don't really understand what I would have to do.

If someone could guide me in the direction of building a 532nm 100mW in one of these, I would really appreciate it! :yh:
 
Buy a 12mm module, slide it in tighten set screw where the module contact the battery well, ,,, finished :) that's a very simple build.

Buy module from eBay seller techhood. He's the only place I trust for modules. He sells 100mw for $20-30. So for $40 your good.
Just make sure the module has no little button on the driver, and already has a spring and you won't even need to solder.
If you buy the right stuff, this build should take less than 5 minutes.

Thank you!! I found his shop. Is this the type of module I need to be looking for?

It isn't focusable like I want it to be, I'm just making sure I'm looking for the right thing :p
 
You got it man. Your not going to find a focus able module, but green really has no need to be. If you want focus you want a diode and that's not as easy. I highly recommend starting with this build. Nice easy, no soldering. All you need is an Allen key, and iirc mrcrouse has them if you ask.

Awesome! I would probably get the green 100mW module I linked, and since it's not focusable I can just ask for the 501b host from Mrcrouse without a knob, right?

Last quick Q, since you'll know: I want a laser with a nice beam but also can do the "tricks" like popping balloons and lighting matches. Will 100mW of un-focusable green be able to do that? I know it will have a nice beam (heck, my cheap green laser from a sketchy store at Myrtle Beach had a nice beam), but I would love for it to be able to burn that kind of stuff too :p
 
Oh, and what do I do with the wires that are already on the driver of the module? Just heat up the solder with a soldering iron and remove them?
 
You might want to get the 120mw he has for $30. I got three in the past and they would give you a little extra something for popping balloon and such. But yeah 100mw unfocused should do it. It'll just take longer of course than a stronger one. I love his 120 mW. All of them have been right on point.

And Yup just remove the wires. Desolder or just cut them.
 
Thanks man! Yeah for $4 I might as well bump it up to 120. Or maybe if he has a 200 I can get for a good price I'll snag it ;)

Mrcrouse, please reserve for me a black host with no knob; I can buy it sometime next week! Black in color, unless you can make a green one... Then I want green! :p
 
200 mW is $88 :)

In that type of module that's as high as he goes.
