Hi LPF,
Started a host of something different, a hexagon shaped host. Had a small piece laying around I purchased some time back .
It holds 2X18350 batteries , needs some powder coating last.

That looks neat! I always like when hosts look rather minimalostic.

Storage wise, hexagons can be packed very efficiently like a honeycomb.

Maybe cut a perpendicular groove on the laser head, for color-coding the laser?

Edit: here's what I meant, maybe it would look better with slightly wider grooves than in the pics

Groove only


Red for 650nm


Cyan for 488 nm

It should be called the antirolling noob proof laser, for those who decide it's smart to keep a laser pointer turned on unattended too on a flat surface.

Hi,
They can still drop it so a rubber coating is in order.
