Hello all - I'm new to this forum, and come humbly seeking help from those more experienced in this field.
I need a mini laser line module for a tool I'm putting through a very limited production run. 650nm, 5mW mini line modules will work fine, and seem readily available in the 45° range I need. What I can't find however, is a module with a lens that creates a line 45° to one side of center, or half of a 90° spread if you will.
I know they are available, as I have one I harvested from an old cheap laser level years back, but I can't find such a module available on it's own.
Ideally a red line in the 650-660nm range would work, though this is a bit flexible. Size is critical - a 9x22mm may work, but 8x13mm would be much much preferred if I could find such a thing. And I'm looking for a self contained unit with any circuitry built in (either internal or a board on the backside would work) so that it could be wired directly to a ~3v battery and switch.
And of course cheap would be a bonus too.
I'm currently using a standard 45° spread module mounted in an angled holder, but space is tight and if I could find one with a lens that allowed me to mount the barrel straight an get a 45° Below center line that would be fantastic.
Thanks very much for whatever help or insight you may have to offer. I've searched long and hard for such a module, but have come up empty.
