As a host for a labby, you ought to use something conductive, with a fairly good heat capacity...

that is true that plastic is not conductive.. but there is a way to fix that and the melting point of this plastic is is well over 100 hundred degrees.. properly heat sinked it should not be a problem and 5 of the 15 was to cover my shipping cost.


To make this conductive all you would have to do is drill some holes to except a sheet metal screw or some thing similar and put two pieces of thin metal down and then use that for your connectivity.. still makes a good host and I do not understand why you all are being so negative... I thought the whole point of the forum was to encourage and help fellow laser builders and not rag on new ones... I guess I was wrong.

No one is saying that it absolutely shouldn't be used for a lower power laser diode that doesn't need good heatsinking.

It's just that labbies are made out of metal over plastic for a reason.

vortish, I'm going to restrain myself from giving you -rep, even though you attempted to do it to me for no justifiable reason.

When you post something in B/S/T, it means that you are trying to sell something to people on this forum. Some people may question the product if it doesn't make sense for the intended purpose you are trying to sell it for.

You will restrain yourself, but i wont. he also neg repped me.

How dare i state my opinion?!?! You are getting neg repped vortish, because
1) you are trying to justify selling plastic boxes as laser hosts, when you can get the same thing (project boxes) for much less- not only this, but you fiercely refute anyone who brings this up
2) you tried to neg rep several of us (remember: several of us LONG TIME members) for simply stating opinions.

EDIT: Lotus, i +repped you to balance out what vortish did.

The reason for the neg rep is the way that you made you comments.. I would have been fine with the comments. If they were worded in a way that did make it sound like you know every thing and I am a idiot... That is the way it came across. Edit.... I am sorry if I came out angry but I am trying to just ah never mind... I wish I never put these up ... Crazy you are entitled to say what you want its a free world.... I am sorry Had a bad day at work at took it out on every one that is just stating a opinion.... I am sorry I am looking for help from the long timers and this is not a good way to do it.. Eniri.......(Peace)

I fail to see how me saying:

Im confused...you are selling project boxes for 15$ a piece? You realize you can buy these at radioshack for under 10$, right?

and

Yea, not seeing much point in these...sorry

makes me come across as "knowing everything" while implying "you are an idiot." That is not what i was saying at all, trust me. Did not mean it in any sort of negative way.

If you had a bad day at work, that sucks, but try to keep it off the forums man- we are like a big family here, theres no need for sore feelings :)

please do because I almost -rep'd you. this in all honesty is the worst FS thread ive seen. Bad product, and a rude seller.. And the price is ridiculous. I totally understand your attempt to make some extra money and you have ever right to start this thread, I hate to see people argue here though.. Nobody was negative towards you only your product and they were only being honest with you.. So I did not -rep you at all.. as crazyspaz said, this forum is like a family. I've only been here four months but its not hard to not post offensive things and -rep people just for informing you..

Hopefully you have a good time here at LPF.. and sorry about that tractor window that really sucks!
