Im gona need to outsource eventually and this thread I wish to be about what I have in mind and advice or learning, theres a couple people I had in mind of reaching out to when I have a realized plan host thats ready. They are entirely unaware of this though right now. My first custom made laser:
In words; I want to have this host use 18650, use a side button and maybe a tail switch to somehow able a constant on, no mode switching; after thinking of this outloud, It seems like both tail switch and side button could work just fine, one disabling the others function by normal design.
Aluminum machined host to stay light weight with at least 2 parts: the main body with battery and tail, and a separate hollow screw on holder for... ND filters! 2 or 3 of them to remove or apply easily dimming the laser for safe usage. Im unsure how they would fit into the body, my intention is to have an outside window with 1 moving part that somehow either entirely removes the filter or moves it aside for the beam. It would look closed to the outside of the host. Most likely, what would be easy to create. Open to ideas if u got em
A slightly enlarged diode housing for heat sinking, weight non issue.
The best part and Im finding difficult to imagine, Beam corrective lenses with a g7 or g8 culmination so there no large artifacts or reflections also helped by the ND filter housing tube etension... theres a word for this.. covering any outlier diverging light. If anyone is unfamiliar with what this is, youd put a square lens that changes the shape of the immediate diode light to then be culminated in a tidier fashion.
A simple and straight forward design look other than the practical functions. I like the look of the Q-line matte black host I have for the 488 with the smooth machining.

Currently I have no driver or diode picked out yet and I have little understanding of how drivers work technically which I plan on buying a soldering kit, but I think Id want to call on someone willing to bin diodes so things go smoothly, eventually when it comes to that.
First Ill need to get the parts, honestly, because those must fit and I dont know what ill be getting yet.
