I think you want to knife edge like this: ll and ll through a PBS with waveplate or ll and = with no waveplate.

You also need two mirrors for red and three mounts (2 for mirrors and one for pbs), diode driver, metal parts etc all these should easily cost more than 850usd. maybe reconsider on the single mode?
other than that, the best configuration for a 3mm beam without using telecopics, is what logsquared suggests.
one example of this implementation (a rough one, as i prefer it) can be seen here

this would work then http://www.microlaserlabs.com/produc...ombiner-elite/
if laserman532 gets it back in stock
do i need to add a waveplate if i use Opnext HL63133DG diodes, can't i just turn the diodes 90deg?

355 + 480 + driver cost... it is not cheap...
while if you settle for a 4mm beam, it should cost you less than 450 alltogether, if you go for logsquared's kit, and you'll probably end up with around 800mw of 640nm
concerning the waveplate, i prefer to use it as it makes the overall build and design much simpler (no need for elevation of diodes, no rotation, no "strange" gluing of mirrors etc etc), just my personnal preference

You can turn the diodes 90deg. However, knife edge stacking "under over" is a little bit trickier. I don't think the laserman kit allows for "under over" without shimming the mounts.this would work then http://www.microlaserlabs.com/produc...ombiner-elite/

logsquared what would a complete and assembled module cost from you?

Gettin there!

I have two of the baseplates all drilled an tapped from Microlaserlabs if interested, I think he has the mirror mount and diode holders in stock.
I bought two complete quads a while back but ended up using the other parts on systems and not the base.

Cute? Lasers are cool, techy, freaky, awesome, bizarre, anything but definitely not "cute" lol.
