Converting an RGB Projector into a DIY High Powered Burning Laser, 450nm Blue Module at 100mW+ Power

In this video, I've dissembled a relatively cheap RGB laser projector for the parts inside and converted the 450nm blue diode module into a powerful burning laser, effectively modifying the module from Class 3A to Class 3B technology.
Always follow the warning labels on laser projectors at your own risk, do not attempt what you see in this video as it's intended for educational and viewership purposes only.

Hell yeah dude
Been enjoying your laser content and this long-form step-by-step stuff is even better!

Thanks for the feedback, buddy!

Be cool if you checked into making a DIY laser power meter. Les's lab showed on his CZcams channel a cheap sensor and setup that he cobbled together off of ebay. It was more for fast pulsed stuff, but there's info out there on making a standard cw lpm.

I like your content,if possible can you make a vid with any tips and tricks you have learned

[@JHERU]

Thanks! I can try to add more tips and tricks in my videos but is there something specific you need help with?

[@user-lu1pn6to9e]

I have that same module and got it to focus,I must have got lucky and when built they skimped on the epoxy lol

Nice, yeah it sucks when the modules are epoxied inside the threads, makes it impossible to adjust the aperture lens.
