Oo that looks pretty! Thinking about it I might leave the black o-rings in they look pretty good in person I might have to get in contact with Mrcrouse now :rolleyes:

Thanks! Yeah it turned out much better than I thought it would, Should look good in the end! Unfortunately I don't have access to a lathe anymore :yabbem: I was looking at getting a mini lathe possibly for spinning up small heatsinks and hosts in the future.. I took photos of the entire...

Oh wow, You weren't joking about have a lot of free time haha I'd like to see the host you plan on putting this bad boy in :p

I'm guessing you're talking about power alone and not regarding the brightness For example 1W of IR will only seem as bright as a standard 5mW 650nm but it will do all kinds of bad to you :p

Have a play with this Beam: (593nm 1mw) vs. (497nm 1mw)

Well she's done! I plan on buying a bench grinder and I'll do most of the polishing that way then go over it with a dremel After that I'll get a killer heatsink and do the same then slap in a 445nm :D Also the fins there are just asking for some glow in the dark o-rings EDIT: After a rag...

Haha okay.. Step 1. Buy this or something that accepts 12mm by 60mm modules Polished Alloy Waterproof Host for DIY Green Laser | eBay Step 2. Purchase a module like this (12mm by 60mm)...

You could also try purchasing a host from Ebay and press fitting a module in? It's pretty straight forward and you have dozens of combinations to pick from From there you can move onto soldering diodes to drivers and so on! We have it tough down here in Australia but it hasn't really stopped...

Yeah it's on the label, So it'll work it's just the question of how well.. :whistle: I'll report back with the results and with any luck turn this into a tutorial thread 1+ guys! Thanks

I plan on doing it outside and I'll be keeping a close eye on it while taking all the necessary precautions, I'll see if I can find an old tooth brush to give it a hand also When you say the Drano Max gel.. I've got the "Ultra gel" does it matter or? It's the only one they had, It's a 750mL in...

Ok cool, Yep I've got it all taken apart and ready to go! I just bought some Drano gel just then so I'll see how it goes I suppose, Worse case is I lose a $6 light and I've got some spare Drano :p I'll make sure to update this thread with pictures and what not afterwards.. Then it's onto polishing!

I might go ahead and use the gel if I can find some because I know that'll work non the less Should I worry about covering up the threads? I've heard in some cases it can eat through it? Also what do you suggest I put the Drano in to give the host a bath?

Yeah I've heard of using Draino to remove it, Seems it might be the best way without spending heaps I've actually already got some crystals here, Should I give that a try do you think?

I'm looking to remove the anodizing from a C8 and give it a good bloody polish :p What would be the best way to go about doing both? Personal experience with chemicals vs sanding..ect Cheers

If you just do a search for "laser pointer" then on the side bar with search options click Australia only

Have a look on Ebay Australia, They have heaps on there ready to go shipped from within Aus I would be sort of careful buying higher powered lasers though unless it's on the forum here As you'll be waaaay overcharged for something totally under-spec... As I said have a look on Ebay they have...

Welcome to the forum! I'm starting to also wonder where all these Aussies are coming from :p

Lab lasers have no limitations.. You can import, own and use lab lasers without any problems! Also my suggestion is if you have any doubt about building or selling your friend one I'd stay far away from it.. If you need money get a job or pick up more shifts :)

I've got a 532 module running around 140mW in this host (Silver) I've never ran it for that long though but it goes like a champ

I'd have to double check but if you're under 18 you can apply for a juniors license which will let you shoot under the supervision of a fully licensed person of the same category or someone approved by the firearms registrar. Of course it changes state to state but I'd imagine it's much the same
