Hey everyone, Im Jay,
I am a wireless network architect for an international company out of Pittsburgh, PA
I am working on my first laser build now. a 3W 445nm handheld.
Already hit my first snag, my 35mm copper heatsink from RickTrent4 on Ebay is a little too big for the host i tried to use:
WAYLLSHINE(TM) C8-T6 5-Mode XML CREE LED 1000 Lumen Flashlight Torch for Riding, Camping, Hiking, Hunting & Indoor Activities
From amazon.
so I have purchased a 3800lm 3x Cree XML Xm-l T6 LED Flashlight Torch and 18650 Rechargeable Batteries + Charger (Trustfire)
in the hopes that it will work with that heatsink.
I am waiting for the 9mm diode, 2.4 amp driver, and g2 lens to come from DTR Laser's... Jordan has been awesome in answering my questions and shipping my equipment quickly.
A new soldering station is on my wish list. I am using a simple handheld right now.
I plan to post a build post when I begin. Critique/ comments are appreciated.
Allan (Pi R Squared) has been great, he cleared a few things up earlier for me regarding Diodes.
Anyways thanks for having me! I look forward to getting to know everyone.
