Have you checked out the site reviews on the net? Looks like they're just crappy lasers (that is if you ever get it). I just clicked the very first google link here. Chances are if you buy from them, the lasers will be totally under-spec. You should give DealExtreme a try, thats where I bought...

I'm going to buy these: Safety Glasses 190nm-540nm Blue Violet Green Laser Ray Eye Protection Goggles | eBay For when I build my DX 50mw, any advice on these, they're cheap, but I've had good experience with these Chinese ebay sellers.

I was 9 years old when I had no Idea about lasers and me & my fried had a little 5mw and with people saying you'll get blind and all of that, we tried it out. of course it didn't do any damage, even if we had the point on our eye for minutes. But I've read all of these stories about laser-eye...

Re: 50mw 532nm DX module- First Build. Thanks for that heatsink info! But I have already chosen a host :) Hope I go all well in my build :D

Oh, really?? haha, I thought a magnifying glass would help focus.. It would still be fun to some astronomy though!! I've only had a few 5mw's before and you can't see the beam at all unless it's a foggy night :(. At least I could try when i get it because I found a mini headlamp focus lens that...

Yeah, I've been leaning towards that option, It's just too expensive for a host... I'm not the sort of creative guy though, the most creative I'll get is grabbing my dad's huge magnifying glass and seeing if that will help at all! :p

Hey Guys, I've been looking at 2 hosts for my DX MODULE and They are THIS penstyle host and THIS Focusable one. The penstyle host is a perfect fit for the module (Thanks Styropyro:thanks:) but I'm not sure with the price difference... Penstyle- $5.88 with postage Focusable- $17 with postage...

So are all heatsinks different? Wont the host come with one? I'm sorry that i'm dumb with this but I cant find the answer. The module is 11.9mm, does that mean I have to get a 11.9mm host or will a 12mm host fit? If so, where can I find a 11.9mm host, because I can only find 12mm heatsinks...

1. I want to build a laser myself. 2. Sorry, I meant Module. 3. Host is a 12mm, module is 11.9mm, I think it would fit, no? Thanks for the reply :) ---------- Thanks, So I'm guessing the heatsink is something that just lets the laser fit in the housing... Also what goggles would you recommend?

Hi guys, Ok, so this will be my first ever laser build and I am a complete noob in this subject so i'm asking for some help. I'm going to buy a 50mw green module from DX 50mW 532nm Green Laser Module (3V 11.9mm) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme and I need help with the host (where to buy from...

Helloo everyone, I'm new to the Forums & I've had a little red 5mw laser for a year or so ago (wasn't even too interested back then) and I love playing with it it's so cool! My friend got a cheap 30mw 532nm from Bali and we love it and use it all the time! Anyway, I have been looking int...
