445nm blue diode build options

[danielbriggs]

Hope we can find a supplier of the diodes or another group buy comes along some time.

I plan to run my GB until interest dries up and we can't fill another 24 orders.

So, is there anybody willing to provide a build service or a kit of all parts needed when everything is sorted out

I think Drlava will have quite a tasty, neat little module available shortly There's a pic of one with his lensing solution on another recent thread.

So has anyone got one of these beasts scanning yet?

Something with a thread, and worthless without pics!

EDIT ... never mind ...

just been looking at edmund optic dichros for 445 diodes.

if you check out their blue dichros, seem they are perfect for 445.

little bit more expensive than others but worth they money.

I'm sure it's been mentioned; but doesn't the projector have a suitable dichro inside it?
Or are you talking about something else Andy?

Hey... Any chance you could take everything but the blue diodes out of the projector and just have blue... and optics. Possibly a 20W 445nm laser with a and adjustable beam that has size similar to a CuBr.
