So figured I would show you all what these laser barrels are going to look like. I finished a sketch of the finished product. We're still waiting on payment from a few folks on CPF.

Inside diameter of barrel is 17mm

total length is 120mm (ballpark)

Outside diameter 22mm

Length of head 18mm

Thanks man! I'd have figured everyone from CPF would have paid quick. They must all have handhelds already.

Man, I'm so dumb. Posted dimensions but not the picture. Sheesh

Got pictures of the prototype. this is just a prototype. so there's a few problems with it. 1. the head is too short on the outside. it goes into the barrel too far. so the diode insertion point is too far down inside the barrel. 2. the diode insertion point is just a teenie bit too big. the diode slips right out. 3. the hole around the button is a bit too short so it doesn't sit on it's tail without hitting the rubber. needless to say we've learned a lot about this. This was made by a machine shop commisioned so that we could at least see one and iron out some details before we do the run.

Actually we sold out of run 1. There will be another run to follow.

I don`t think there will be much interest in pointers on this forum.
