Thank you for replying! I guess it came this way. I'll try get it replaced :(

Hey guys! :) I finally got all the parts for my laser. It took about 3 months for everything to arrive due to customs... I ended up ordering another host. Thanks to the guys who post tutorials on here I've learnt to put together the laser :) The problem however is that the dot is very fuzzy...

What direction should the heatsink slide off? I'm guessing it should slide off towards the aperture of the module.

Please kindly check your PM. :bumpit:

Hi Mcrouse! Sorry to bother you but may you please reply to my pm? Thank you :)

The link on the initial post didn't seem to work but when I went straight to the index of the website it worked. Thank you !

The website seems to be giving a 404 to me.

The one that I received doesn't seem to have threaded rings. It's just the one long module with a heatsink stuck onto it.

Wouldn't that sort of heat treatment be bad for the diode?

Bump! Sorry for double posting.

Well it so happens that the person who got their host seized was me! hahaha.. anyway, I'd recommend building your own lasers like buying a dpss module, host and a battery since it's 'legal' to import these components. Anyway, best of luck :)

Hey Moisenator! I have the exact same module and bought off the exact same seller! I'm wondering, have you managed to get the heatsink off?

Re: Host in Australia! Still looking for a host! Sent PM regarding host! Thank you. :)

Re: Host in Australia! That looks like an amazing host, however I think it may be way out of my budget :( What price can you offer for it? EDIT: Oh, I assumed it came with a heatsink. How much is it sir?

Hey guys! I'm looking for a host and heatsink that is being shipped and sold in Australia since I have already lost a host due to customs. I have a 532nm module which can be found here. I prefer to spend around $35 dollars but you are welcome to show me what you've got. Thank you, henraay

I contacted the seller and he said that he always says on the declaration "LED Accessories" or "LED parts". He offered to re-send the host to me but I did not want to risk a $1100 fine for trying to "import prohibited" things. Instead, I asked for a 50% refund which was immediately refunded to...

Might I ask, where did you purchase your lasers from? :D The seller had trouble getting things shipped initially. It took him 4 days to ship it out but he has good service. The Chinese tracking is pretty dodgy, (still says its in china) but you can't expect too much for what you're paying for...

Yeah, I think making the claim to get the host back will not be worth the time, effort and money. It is also unlikely that you'll get the government to even pay for the expenses too. I will just be purchasing a host from within Australia. It is sad to think that the system is so corrupt.

Hello all! :) I'm from Australia, Brisbane! I ordered this host. on the 23rd of July. On the 28th of August, I received a notice saying that the host was seized for "Customs (Prohibited Imports_ Regulations - Schedule 13 - Item 44 - Hand-held goods, commonly known as laser pointers, designed...

Looks interesting! This might be my first laser. :) Sent PM.
