Up for Sale [SOLD]: "The Black Queen" - A Wolfman29, 445nm Build

IMG_5135.JPG


So what is this laser?

It's a compact, 14500-powered laser driven at a "turned up" FlexDrive. With it is a custom focus knob, an Aixiz, 3-element glass lens, a custom copper heatsink, and, of course, our favorite 445nm diode.

Now, why is it called The Black Queen? It looks like it belongs on a chess board, that's why! With the crown and indents, the way its middle-section tapers off and then its wider bottom flares out, it could almost be a replacement piece. And, of course, the queen really would be the most "power"ful piece on the board this time ;).

Originally a flashlight host, you can see the name inscribed on the side of the laser:

And, of course, the obligatory beamshot.

Price: $225 shipped within the United States with insurance and tracking. For international shipping, PM me.

You must have proof that you have appropriate protective goggles.
You must be 18 years old or older.

Note: LPM photos will be put up in the near future, awaiting the arrival of some high-quality batteries. However, it has been tested to 1.15W with a variable power supply at 4.2Vin.

I have this host but it's been polished :D

Are you sticking to that price or would you be open to a trade negotiation?

Anyway, Crab has left the deal unpaid, so I am opening this sale up for more buyers if anyone else is interested.

I would, but shipping would have to be worked out - for insured and tracked shipping, the cheapest method is Express Mail International, which is ~$40 or so. I could probably do $265 shipped to the UK?

EDIT: @Flamin' - Yeah, my girlfriend's DSLR picks up 445nm as magenta and 405nm as blue :thinking:

I really like that focus adapter :)

Did you do the knurling yourself?

Knurling was all hand-done, yep yep! It's actually really easy. But maybe that's because I got professional training on a lathe by the head machinist of the largest university in the US :p
