lol all ready have 2 pair from when i got that 1w laser i had

so the flat tops work?

what part were you haveing the most heat with the diode or the driver? what would be some simple things i could do for heat dissipation... could i take some copper wire and thermal paste it to the driver? it just seems like such a big heat sink for the diode to be getting hot so fast...

9mm 445 Diode In Module With Leads & 405-G-2 Item# 0001 , Quantity: 1 , Lens Options: G-2 Extended Barrel 405-445 Three Element Glass Lens , Quantity: 1 Survival Laser Stainless Steel Host Assembly, Extended Heat Sink DIY 445nm 2.2A Driver & Pill Module and i got the extension tube because i...

so all parts are ordered.. what was the duty cycle did you use for the 9mm ss you built?

and standard or extended barrel?? trying to use the same host you did

OK sorry asking you so many ? but will the focus ring come with it or will I have to order that seperate?

if I get this one... https://sites.google.com/site/dtrlpf/home/diodes/9mm-445nm 445nm 9mm Diode In V4 Copper Module W/2.4A X-Drive Non Stock Lens Option (Runs on 6-9V or two 3.7V Li-Ions) $123 are the 3 element lens or g2 focusable? and I'm guessing the g2 lens is better than 3 element?

or this one 445nm 9mm Diode In V4 Copper Module W/2.4A X-Drive Non Stock Lens Option (Runs on 6-9V or two 3.7V Li-Ions) $123

Osram PLTB450B 450nm Diode In Copper Modules W/1.8A X-Drive & G-2 Glass Lens $118. this what I need if building the 9mm stainless your Amazon link is not working

or better yet i have this case... what the best i can put into it.. i really don't want to buy a brand new working laser i rather put mine together so i know how it works... well what i want...in a laser.. tell me if this can be done with the case i have now... a blue color.. above 1watt and i...

so let say i buy a new diode how can i get the old one out? or would i be better off just buying a kit like that c-88 kit in your sig?

wow 450 nm diode are expensive

no cant take it apart to solder the circuit board back... and if i can get in there to adjust the focus when it was working the dot was very large from when i first had it

so for some reason my laser went out of focus and i of course i started messing around and i broke it... the laser seems press fitted..so i can't seem to take it apart... any ideas??
