Hello guys,
i deceided i want to build my own lasers now instead of buying complete ones. Thing is they are very overprized in EU and US and if you buy in China, you can get some pretty good deals but its hard to find anything more powerful than 1500mw blue lasers...
So what i have in mind is a laser casing that allows me tu pull out the diode+driver+lens and just fit in another package, so i can interchange the colour. I tried to disassamble 2 of my lasers, so i can use the host for another, more powerful package, but i just cant figuere out how to gt out the diode without making damage.
i do habe the 1500mw very popular blue laser in a black host, it goes under different names "X6, Shadow Laser", it looks very similar to the Thor Laser from US.
And then i have a cheaper 100mw green laser for 20 eu, its the one thats supposed to look kind of cool, silver, like a gatling gun, with a dozen of Aluminum rods. I would have loved to use that Host, but i see no chance to get the diode out of it, there is just nothing you can get a grip on for pliers or a screwdiver whatsoever. If someone thinks hes a expert and there might be a chance, i can make a picture of it.
Well, now for my search for hosts, remember i want an all-in-one host, so i only have to put the package in and srew the lens on...unfortunately i cant find much..there are some 60 dollar overprized silver casings from one of the western totally overprized shops, and there are some cheaper ones from Ali-Express for 10-15 bucks, but they only hold 1x 16340 or 18650 battery. I need a host for 2x battery, i want to use laser diodes between 2-5 watts. Anybody has an idea?
