I recently discovered the new 520nm green laser diodes that don't require the frequency doubling stage that regular 532nm green lasers need, which means I could finally build one as small as I wanted. I gutted a Nitecore Tube and turned it into a 30mW rechargeable green laser pointer with some extra firmware features.

Here's a video detailing the whole build:

It turned out so well that I ended up building a 450nm blue one too.

This is the coolest build I've seen on here in a while.
Reminds me of the good ol' days when everyone was building lasers from scratch.
I have one of these flashlights in UV but I hadn't thought of turning it into a laser.
Great work!

That's literally a Nitecore! This is totally awesome.
