Tired of buying cheaply made laser pointers off eBay which go bad faster than old milk, I decided to buy the parts & improve on them.
1. AAA battery boxes with good electrical connections instead of using metallized paint to conduct current.
2. Separately connected laser diode bought in pack of 10 made for a 3V power source.
3. Only thing reused from last broken pointer was the push button switch.
Now I need a sturdy casing for this. If the diode goes bad, I have 9 more to replace it with. And yes, Poofball has missed his red dot.
