This laser build was posted a while back by 300EVIL here:

I have owned this unit since it was built(5 or 6 months). I don't own test equipment to verify any output. I do however enjoy using this unit and find it a real easy to use laser. The laser is small in size. It was sent with a medical grade power supply which I quickly matched to a power cord and some wire harness from NOS in our audio/video repair store.
I experienced a small output issue when this unit was new. While taking the laser to and from my office I somehow slightly slid off the LASERBUG unit. I had no idea what a laserbug was and thought "oh well (!@#@!%$&*#!) I broke a diode lead". Little did I know the LASERBUG has a real easy connector that just slid right back on. Too easy. I use this laser along with a Chinese 532nm and have nothing but pure enjoyment from it. Although a little different from the original plan (no TEC) I feel the unit was built to last. The TEC feature was used to stabablize the output as shown in 300EVIL's video on post #32 of this thread. The builder although extremely busy at the time of this build was able to discuss various options along the way. I relied heavily on his input as he is the laser Pro and I am not. The driver to laser wires may be a little short as I choose like 6" for this length. In the future I would select a method that disconnects the units from each other. I may either build in this feature once I go to mount this to my Edison Case by MisterWilling or ask 300EVIL to build this feature in depending on his schedule. Thanks Adam for producing a great 445nm 750mw TEC cooled laser. Me, my friends and family have all enjoyed it. Those LASERBUGS rock too.
