Hey styro, do you think you could provide some links to where you bought your parts? I am new to the laser scene, though you are the one who inspired me to love laser!
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

You should buy your parts from an LPF member. You can find vendors in THIS thread.
Jayrob can sell you the host that styro used.
DTR can sell you the diode+driver.
Yeah if you have issues I would love to be of assistance as well. I have now made about 5 of these and I have done both fixed focus and variable focus. When I first started I would be out working for a couple of hours. My most recent pen build was completed within 30 minutes.
How I do case negative builds is a little tricky, but it's worked twice now
Take a wire from the neg Vin on the driver, and run it to the side of the module, and jam it between the module and the case of the pen. That should also be more than enough to keep it in the pen. If now, a little bit of sticky residue, or epoxy will do the trick
As far as getting connectivity on the endcap of the pen. I do the following.
Hold a bit of solder globbed on the cap (inside) and hold the iron on there for a while until it heats enough to stick on. Then let it cool, should have a nub of solder to meet with the neg of the batteries.
Post anymore questions you may have
