I have 1w 525 with a 3X beam expander on it and it's just fantastic at night, so I had a concept for a build that has a shroud around the beam expander built onto the host with a thumb and finger access port on each side.

Actually the shroud could be a simple slip over type deal to protect the beam expander, and if made as a smooth sided unit could hold 26650 cells and would look pretty cool, anyway I have built similar for a nubm44 unit and think it's a neat concept for a pocket build as well.

Hi Zapp,
You might want to start a for sale thread just for your laser in the Buy Sell and Trade section. This way folks don't get mixed up with my thread here. I machine custom hosts as you can see buy the title. Anyway good luck with your sale . And you should introduce yourself in the welcome section first of all so folks can get to know you. Like were are you from do you have an occupation ETC>>

A 1 watt 445nm laser in a 501B host might be a bit high at $150.00. I have a 2.2 watt in an MS Envy host and if I were to sell it, that is what I would ask for it. It cost me more than that to build it, but all used lasers, no matter how little they were used are still used lasers.

Just got the copper pen host in the mail. It looks even better in person. Thanks Lifetime!

Hey Rich,

I thought I read somewhere in the rules that you need to have a certain number of "points" etc in order to create a new thread? And that you can't "cheat" by just racking them up quickly by replying to posts. Do you have any suggestions. I can still do the "introduce myself" thing, but frankly I'd just like to sell the laser. I saw your post and thought this was just for anyone who is selling lasers. My apologies.

Hi Zapp,
Thats what I thought that you were thinking that this was were you posts sales. Hey no problem , About a welcome thread yes it will be nice and help your sales on the 501B /1W laser with accessories . All new members should do a welcome first and add a global location and a little something about themselves . Oh try going for $100.00 bucks on the laser with the stuff maybe it will move faster.

Just got the copper pen host in the mail. It looks even better in person. Thanks Lifetime!

@ Serentslayer I am glad you like it Copper is a real pain to machine and takes time because of the viscosity of the metal. I also make them in a 1 or 2 X 14500 configuration that bumps up the battery life. Oh need some beam shots buddy when your done.
Enjoy my pleasure ...

I received the hosts tonight and they look great, here's the little ss that I am happy to say is a lot thicket than I expected it feels nice and sturdy in the hand with the copper heat sink.

 

[Lifetime17]

Hi Red,
Looks awesome with that 520 in it, that one SS host takes 1-18650 or 2-18350's. The Cu sink should provide a decent amount of heat transfer. Glad it came out well for you buddy.

It feels real nice in the hand although it was a very snug fit, that host might work better with an 18500 and a 15mm longer heat sink for future builds, it is a nifty and thick little unit.

 

[Lifetime17]

Hi,
Try changing the spring + or - in length to fit the cell better .Glad you like it buddy
