Yep, did that one too, with a 9mm diode at +2W. Instantly burned a nice hole in my pants, but it was on for so short that it didn't burn into skin. :-) The other one I can think of is, with goggles on, I had a laser on my desk and was just testing to see if a diode was alive. It was, and the...

Here's one... One of those internal lens springs rolls off my desk onto a dark carpet below, and its dang near impossible to find. However, being a bit of a flashoholic, I have many LED flashlights laying around all over the place. So I grab one to illuminate the floor so that I can find this...

Thanks! I'm really enjoying this. I've always loved lasers, and now it seems so easy to get the parts and to build them ourselves. :-)

Hi Jayrob, I plan to, once I get a new diode and driver in there... I'm not suite sure how I'll do that yet though! :-) I'll prolly go for insulating the driver rather than mounting it - that seems easier...

TheDukeAnumber1: Yes, agreed, the voltage light really is an amazing touch! It was worth the extra $ :) eugene420: Indeed, I'm not sure why the pics come out purple with these diodes... Jayrob: I did notice that the module has some wiggle room inside the heat sink, so a lose fit probably...

Greetings laser enthusiasts! I completed this build a few weeks ago and I'm finally getting around to posting it today... The host came from JayRob, the 2D MagLite, with an optional voltage indicator light. Here is more info about this kit: FS: Large Maglite Monster Kits! FlexModP3, Side...

I very much enjoyed working with both Clif and Lazeerer on my first big laser build. I got all the parts from Cajun Lasers, including the x-drive by Lazeerer (1.8A), the M140 445nm diode, and the Elite host. I really love this little laser, as it packs a big punch. The build was fairly easy and...

Hi Jayrob, Those are nice options indeed... Is there a major concern of over-discharging the unprotected 32600's in the maglite/laser combo? Also, you seem to be in great favor for the Feilong 32650's for the flashlight build, but how much do you recommend them over regular 32600 for a laser...

Wow, DTR, thanks for the fast response! Well I guess that makes sense, considering you're selling them with the 405-G-2 glass lens! ;-) Can you mount the original lens or do you just sell the parts and we do it ourselves? You mentioned that the stock lens is comparable to the G2 but I don't know...

Hey there, I already have an M140 build at about 2W, but am tempted by the maglite 2D host. It just looks so fabulous, and with 2 of those 32650 batteries would last a long time too! So for variety's sake, I was considering DTR's 9mm 445nm diode with Lazeerer's v6 xdrive at 2A. Question is...
