This is a build that is in progress. I started it a month or so back and got stuck for a while. With Pman's help I finally got the diode lasing and the foundation set. Just thought I'd share
It's using the diode out of an Eekbay 405nm pen and the host is a Streamlight Stylus Pro, I removed the clip and there will be some further modifications, pending payday and a trip to OSH for some copper tubing. There will be some GITD involved as well
For now, the diode is Lasing and I'm immensely happy as it's been sitting on my desk for a while now (I actually removed it from my Sig when I got stuck) LivingLoud's input also helped me connect the dots. Derp, is how I felt when it all finally came together in my head. The 2 AAA's were replaced with a 10440 and some magnetic spacers and Viola!
That's just a GITD dustcap for fun. This isn't the final look. Take that WL :na:

I also finally figured out how the complete my MiniMe build! Why do these Eureka moments always happen at 2AM
MiniMe has been humping the Giant Laser at the bottom of my Sig for the longest and I just couldn't figure out how to complete the build
Recently I bought a $5 airsoft gun with a laser sight...
Secret Agent 007?s P99 Airsoft Pistol w Laser and Flashing Flashlight | eBay
I took it apart and wouldn't you know it, the laser diode fits real good inside my Streamlight Keymate host. Since the Keymate uses 4 button cells and the diode only needs 2 I have room for batteries and the driver
If all goes well I'll put it all together tomorrow with some epoxy and some soldering and post pics.
Happy Lasing
