Mine is the 445, I stand corrected. I figured since they are in the same host that they would use the same lens assy. Sorry

I put the aixiz 445 lens in it, its a bit longer, so the brass retainer at the bottom of the spring loaded lens assembly has to be reamed out so its the same diameter as the lens. unfortunetly I have no experience with the 405-g-1 lens, but if its the same length as the aixiz 445 then yes it...

After I removed it, I burned into the lens with a soldering iron. So I am positive, that mine came with a arcrylic lens. Maybe they made a mistake assembling mine, I really don't know but it did come with a arcrylic lens assy.

Yes it is, the lens that came with my laser was identical to the arcrylic lens that comes with a aixiz housing. I had to modify the lens holder to even accomidate the longer 445nm lens assy.

I doubt if its even a glass lens. I know its a different laser but my 1 watt o-like 445 came with a arcrylic lens (that i replaced with aixiz glass), so if they used arcrylic in a 1 watt 445 it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they used the same in a 400 mw 405.

What you have in the link is a red module, not a driver. If you were going to spend $31 anyways, I would recommend just getting a Flex drive V5 with the current preset to 1250 mA. That will cost you $27 + $3 for shipping, and is a proper and safe driver for 445 diodes. Here is a link to the...

Re: The "Blue Ninja" - 445nm DIY Creation I believe they are the tenergy Lipo's, which can be used with the eflite heli's. I got a 4 of them for my MSR and they are well priced.

I'd buy a complete laser from a member of this board. I purchased that laser In the begining of december before I knew about members selling parts or complete lasers for way cheaper. Its a good laser but its no better than the ones they sell here for cheaper. Also Somtimes things don't go as...

I'm still waiting on an o-like order placed Dec 6th sometimes EMS takes forever. I think in general you want to avoid ordering from china. I say buy from one of the members. You get a better quality laser plus shipping takes 3-4 days instead of 3-4 weeks. Or more...

Re: Cheap 1.2 amp driver running off 2x 3.0v lifepo4 cells that iam using. Only $1.99 From what I have seen based on my own tests it regulates both. With 2 primary CR123A's I was getting ~500 mA at ~4.2 V, with 2 3.6v Li-Ion CR123A's I was getting ~1200 mA at ~4.6 volts. This was using a test...

Series means hooking them up red, black, red, black and so. Then hooking the remaining red and black wires to your power supply. If you do that a 9 volt battery should be fine. Also the the thing the guy has wired between the diodes and the battery is a current or voltage regulator.

Re: Cheap 1.2 amp driver running off 2x 3.0v lifepo4 cells that iam using. Only $1.99 I'm using the panasonic photo cells that digi-key sells, maybe I should try using a better quality cr123 and see if I get different results. Both of the cr123's I used were brand new out of the package...

Re: Cheap 1.2 amp driver running off 2x 3.0v lifepo4 cells that iam using. Only $1.99 Thanks for the help. I may just stick with LI-Ions until I know more. Thanks again, Ben

Re: Cheap 1.2 amp driver running off 2x 3.0v lifepo4 cells that iam using. Only $1.99 It would work if you were satisfied with 500 mA wouldn't it? Oh well, I just ordered some extra LI-Ions to go with this driver. My guess is the primaries just can't handle the draw.

Re: Cheap 1.2 amp driver running off 2x 3.0v lifepo4 cells that iam using. Only $1.99 Have you tested this driver with primary cr123's? I ask this because I just got one of these drivers and it seems with primary cr123's it only outputs about 500 mA, and with Li-Ion cr123's it outputs just...

Anything >5 mw needs a aperture shutter, delay and keyed switch, But it can be handheld. I think we are allowed to build any laser, but it cannot be sold without the safety features. This is as far as I understand it, theres most likely something I've missed.

Check the solder joints from the pill to the driver. The driver is soldered to aluminum and a drop could cause those to break loose.

Don't hesitate to buy from Garoq or DTR. They are both great sellers, reply quick and ship fast. I ordered on wednesday and got both orders on saturday morning. I appreciate the service. Thanks, Montez

Neither of mine were able to smoke tape or burn at all until I modified them as Kage did in this thread. Now I got about the same results as he did, it still won't light a match, but they smoke. http://laserpointerforums.com/f38/8-ebay-pointer-becomes-burning-laser-58102.html
