Hi i have bought some new laser diodes on ebay

[https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nichia-PHR805T-405nm-120mW-TO18-5-6mm-Laser-Diode-Violet-Laser-Diode-1-PCS/262400273257?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&\_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nichia-PHR805T-405nm-120mW-TO18-5-6mm-Laser-Diode-Violet-Laser-Diode-1-PCS/262400273257?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649)

I want to change the diode in my form 1+ beacuse it is flaring and bad

I used a hot gun to make the epoxy go soft and scratched it away, and unscrewed the z screw who holds the laser.

And then the form1+ laser looks like this inside

Is it possible to add this diode to the form 1+ laser? it looks diffrent from the for 1 laser?
