Yellow pointer *Beam shots added*

[Switch]

Yeah, I mean , if DX would sell one of these, premade for around 40 bucks, there would be alot of people who would insta-buy it.

Yes, i think there is some money to be made here *hint* Maybe ill email DX. I Asked them about blue right after the first shipment of the dildas were deivered, and a few weeks later..."Poof" there they were, blue freikin lasers. Maybe they'll do the same for these ghetto yellows?

I don't doubt that the manufacturer of the host pointer could make this with little problem as an original manufacture item you would go about it in a different way rather than the add-on that I have done....I wonder whether they will try?

How does rog8811 make it look so easy? Because there is no way it is. The orthoscopic surgeon strikes again!
Awesome!

It is because I didn't photograph myself banging of my head on the bench in frustration.....or record the expletives that erupted from my workshop at times

Some thoughts for other prospective builders:-
You do not need to turn down the front end of the pointer, this became obvious to me after my design change on the optics.
Try and source a flashlight with a removable front end that will fit the front of the pointer, use that as the holder for the optics. There is always more than one way to skin a cat............

Any one of you can do it, take your time, doing a small bit of gluing and leaving it to dry before moving on to the next bit is the secret. It is worth the effort .

Yeah they will probably be allot different, probably allot better. not saying that yours isn't freakin Awesome! cuz it is. But you'll get a better product when you have a team of engineers. Anyone know who the manufacturer is??

Why the hell isnt this thread getiing allot more attention!? has this been done brfore in a pointer? people should be all over this!!!

 

[rog8811]

has this been done before in a pointer?

Not as far as I am aware.

I bet if it was in the buy sell trade section (not that it will be) it would get some interest

i mean, this should be takin off like the damn dorcy jr. mod! C'mon its a yellow laser damn it!!! sorry, i just want one, it'll take 3 weeks to get here, i hate shipping.

The batteries I bought for this are well in date but they last no time at all, I am going to try a 10440 and a spacer, with a diode in it to drop the extra voltage, it may or may not last longer but is at least rechargable.

I do wonder whether to try with 3.7v but I am aware that the DX greens are usually quite sensitive to over voltage.

D'oh!
I did a review of this laser pointer on DX....it was meant to link to this thread, somehow I managed to attach the wrong link.... I have e-mailed them to see if they will change it

are the mw's in the lasers a perfect match of power for each other to create that beam?

With fresh batteries the green is a little strong, you get a very green but still obvious yellow. Once the batteries have had a bit of use it gets better and as the batteries fade it turns more to orange.

Sweet job.
Is there any DX glue that you recommend for mounting the filters? or something else

 

[laserwanabe]

I messaged dx, i have a query i sent in about a month ago. I explained to them about this yellow pointer, they said they will contact the manufacturer for me.( i don't know how truthful that is but im trying because this pointer is sweet)
