    Help for building my first laser

    Well I have an m140 diode at 1.4Watts and it burns like a monster when focused and can go ~10km at night. 100mw is roughly enough to light a match and pop balloons, but over watt will do much more so if you do get this laser be extremely careful. There are other diodes which are single mode...

    Help for building my first laser

    Okay so If your looking for better beam specs you will need to choose a diode with better beam specs, an M140 diode which is one of the cheapest high power blue diode is a multi mode diode which generally have a wider more rectangular beam, when i'm back from holiday next week I can show you...

    First Build - Need Advice/Direction

    okay, so just to finalise. I buy the module, c6 and heatsink + batteries. Cut of the wires and attach a spring. de-anodise the inside of the c6. Short the switch and then assemble? Thanks Tonka

    okay, thank you, so if i get the original module and the C6, an unanodized heatsink and if i cut a spring so its slightly shorter it will all fit hopefully. Will i need to remove any anodizing on the inside of the c6? Tonka

    First Build - Need Advice/Direction

    i don't have a dremel but i'm sure i can find a wire brush from somewhere, if i was to do it in an Aurora SH-032 Host is there a heatsink i can find that will fit or will i have to get it custom made, if so I will probably try with the C6 or are there any other hosts more suitable for this...

    okay, so do you think i should try the way in the video and cut a spring or something or get a different host?

    @Pi R Squared it looks like he uses a module almost identical in this vid?
