Help - first contact melted lens
Ok so I bought some first contact to clean my optics.
Low and behold, laserworlds red diodes have plastic lenses. The first contact melted the lenses.
Having trouble finding replacements. Any help would be appreciated.

No clue the mfg of the diode or diode housing. But the lense assembly unscrews from the front of the housing as seen above.
Thanks in advance.

What projector did it came from EL, CL or CS ?

One was a laserworld CS-1000 and one was Lasertainment X-750
(They are identical)

I'll stick my thread pitch guage on them when I get home to check.
I know it is some kind of focusing lense because without it, it's a straight up red flashlight. No beam whatsoever lol

It looks like a standard M9X0,5 threaded housing. (Not easy to see from the picture).
If so you will find a lot of alternatives. DTR might be helpful finding something that will work for you.

Oh so standard M9 does not fit
Haha
The module housing is 17.5mm (.690") the lens assembly is about .475"
A standard m9 lens is .440"
Anyone know where I can find some like that for 650nm?
If not where I could find new 17.5mm 125mw 650nm modules
