Wonky 405 build!

Can you find the laser?

wonk it up!
I recently got what seemed to be a broken 405 from the ebay seller with super overspec purples. Upon further inspection the connections were just crap
and i was able to solder in a couple of makeshift leads on and power it from a 3.7V 10440 that i saddled in a 6v 4xAA holder and hooked up one of my tokyo sexy blue power switches

So far i had put about 5 dollars worth of parts in and i really wanted to get my munnies worth! so i went ahead and found one of my old broken greens and took off the diffraction grating
attachment head along with gratings and stuck that sucker in with some thermal paste, and now the new head acts as a heatsink as well. IT has 4 interchangeable lenses that i can hold inside of the laser itself

all and all i spent pretty much no money on it and i got a sweet super sneaky home build that Burns!

I was hoping to find it right behind that keyboard the dude is holding with a victory stance.
