| How do you remove the IR Filter from the Core? Where is it in the laser? |

First of all: do you know what consequences this has for laser safety? If you remove the IR filter, there will be a dangerous amount of IR coming out of your laser. This is barely visible, and only visible at dangerous levels. And, you need specific (expensive) safety glasses that protect against IR light.
And, why would you ever want to do it? The IR is not well collimated, and will spread out. If you focus the IR, the green will be out of focus. And internal losses may make it not even an IR burning pointer.
I just bought IR filters for my cheap laser because it didn't have any.. |

don't remove the IR filter... it is dangerous and because of the low power the core has... it has almost no effect
