Okay, so I guess this is considered a trade.

What i have:
I have all the parts for a CR2 keychain build (jayrob kit) including the flexdrive and a GGH 6X diode in module with PCB removed.
What I want:
Turn it into a working 6X build at the maximum current that has been previously established by others here on the forum.
What you get:
1 unused flexdrive V5 and 1 unknown V4 flexdrive (I didn't even know i had it until tonight)
Note:
if i owe someone an unknown flexdrive from a previous sale or trade please say so now
Or:
a CNI look-a-like at 150mW (no adjustable focus)

Must be in US and must be able to do this kind of thing. It is a very tight build. You will need very thin wires with very thin insulation and very good soldering skills.

Good idea Jayrob, I will try Dave. I would build it myself but after tonight I realized a few things. My patients for builds had become much less than it used to be. My soldering irons are so old and used that I cannot get them to operate in a manner conducive to building lasers. My 3 types of solder hate staying onto the tiny little solder pads on the flexdrive. I do not have any nor can I find any wires small enough for this build (maybe include wires with this kit) I'll try Dave.

First, tell me that when you wrote "GGH" it was a typo and that you really have a "GGW." Then send the parts and the drivers to me.

I am in the middle of an 8X for another member and am in a building mood ;)

Peace,
dave

Not a bad idea to include a small amount of fine wire...

Just to share, I get perfect wire from a mouse cord. Just remove the insulation from a mouse cord, and you will have several strands of very fine, flexible wire! :)

Old mice 'had' wires. :crackup:

I bought a bunch of them from flee bay too to stock up on wire. They were dirt cheap...

A Key Chain CR2 build?

Only about an inch on each side of the driver, plus an inch on the pins. So that's a total of about 6" or 7" max. But if your careful, you can do it with less than that...

Well the laser arrived today... This thing is an Awesome burner!! way better than all my other violet lasers. I love the host. The wavelength is a deep violet. I have another violet laser that is a good 55mW less in power than this one yet it is easily brighter. Isn't that crazy. I have to put them both on the meter to believe it. Thanks a bunch Dave you are the man. I appreciate all of your help. I feel like a douche for throwing away a prefectly good GGW diode but now that i have this puppy I am happy. Got here fast too! you are the best.

Those keychains rock, just finished up a customers CR2 kit, but it was a PHR build, not a 6x. lol, reminds me of when i had an 8x in one of these Babies! i think i got 408mW's out of it? cant remember off the top of my head, it died long ago, my fault. but it was so awsome!

And Dave does high-qualityad only high-quality work, so i bet that keychain turned out great huh Yorbesal? it's so awsome to hold that much power in such a smal, yet heavy host. very great host Jayrob, you deserve a thanks, because working with these has made me very happy, the moment you get to say "it's done!" is just the best! ecspecialy when i did my 8x, oh man, i was ecstatic! lol too bad i messed it up on accident.

Anyways, Luke, your items should arrive soon :) your 2nd 5-pack was shipped today before noon, so it should be on it's way now. thanks for the support, and i hope the sleds work out good for you :)

EDIT: @bobhaha you have 777 posts right ow, screenshot it :) i saw you had the 666 already, im waiting for 1337 to come up my way, wich will be soon :D good times.
