Hey All,


Here are my Latest 2 builds that are My Favorite. So I figured to put them in one thread.:)



:eg:BIG Black & BIG Stainless:eg:

The BIG Stainless Build:


This a >2.1W 445nm laser that runs off 2x 18350. The Driver is my X Driver V6 nd using Jayrob's 405-G-1 Lens. I will be adding my custom Mode board to this build once i get some more made.

The Laser is very stable and the way designed the heatsink seems to pull the heat down from the head and out the fin's of the Host.

I Made a Custom focusing ring for it but i feel it looks better without it. I currently working on a new design one that i think will work and be much nicer.




Here is the Build....

DSC00448.jpg

After pushing in the Driver board i know have a clean pill/driver setup. This is big pill so will keep the driver extra cool.

DSC00451.jpg

Testing to make sure everything is still working properly and to show the currant this diode is running at. This is a Freak Diode and you will see a little latter.

DSC00462.jpg

Connecting the diode to the driver and adding shrink tubing.

DSC00463.jpg

Now its time to screw everything together. First i screw the pill in all the way.

DSC00464.jpg

Then its time to fit the heatsink in. THis heatsink is Made little different like i mentioned about. I drilled for a press fit tight module heatsink. I added the setscrew just to make it more tighter.

DSC00467.jpg

Pushed the heatsink in. Then i screwed on the the head ring.

DSC00469.jpg

Now its time to screw in my lens. Which in this case im using 405-G-1 lens.

DONE.!!!:wave:

The BIG Black Build:


In this build this is a >2W laser running off 3x 18650 in parallel to keep the voltage at 4.2V but the capacity of three 18650 together. Which iam using 2600mah Sanyo cells from LarryDFW. THe Driver is a custom boost drive running at 1.8A. Iam using a 405-G-2 lens in this build.

THis laser is also very stable. Never dropping bellow 1.9W within its duty cycle of 1-2 minutes. THis heatsink has the same design as the one above in the stainless build and i feel that this pulls the heat down away from the head nd module to the fin's of this host.

Battery life is Ridiculous in this build. Ive been using it alot nd it barley left a dent. Still at 4.18v after 3 weeks.LOL:crackup:

Made this custom focusing adapter to make the build look Finished slick and i think this design was exactly what it needed.:D




Here is the Build.....


DSC00584.jpg

Here is the Heatsink nd custom focus adapter that i made for the host. As well as the battery holder.

DSC00577.jpg

Chunky heatsink and large focus adapter. Doesn't look that big in picture but trust me its big.

DSC00561.jpg

Custom boost drive getting ready to wire it up and thermal adhesive it to the pill.

DSC00566.jpg

I decided to attach it under the pill rather on top. I think this leaves a much cleaner build.

DSC00571.jpg

Waiting for it to set.

DSC00573.jpg

Now it was time to connect it the blank contact board.

DSC00576.jpg


DSC00589.jpg

I then screwed in the pill all the way in.

DSC00590.jpg

Then I attached the diode to the +/- diode leads from the driver.

DSC00596.jpg

Then I screwed the retainer ring on to hold the contact board in place.

DSC00598.jpg

Pushed my diode into the press fit module heatsink and getting ready to close it up.

DSC00600.jpg

Screw the front ring on.

DONE.!!!!! :wave:

Those are 2 very beautifully built lasers. I am very interested in one of those boost drives my upcoming 2W that I had planned on using 2 flexdrives for. PM me if you are interested in helping a laserboy out.

I do not.>:p Do i.:thinking:

I guess i do alot of 445nm build.:crackup: So Their is only 2 blues that i like using. But I know for sure i dont use this color in every thread or even every 445nm thread.

THanks I like the Stainless alot too. I have 3 of them.:drool: and 2 black ones now and another 2 more black ones on the way.:drool:

The boost drivers are not available. They where made by Jib77 but then dropped the project. I only had a couple of them.:( Iam sorry buddy.:( Hopefully i can get mine done soon.:)

:beer:

The Big Baby. LOL The Monster Blck will be the next one for a special diode i 445nm diode that i hve.:eg:

At what current did you set the driver?


The Currant for the stainless steel one is 1.76A which i took a picture of it and showed it on the build part of the post for the stainless build and the Black is running at 1.8A which i dint take a picture of but written it down in the description for it.

I normal do more detail builds but wanted to keep the pictures as low as possible. I had more picutres then what i posted.:)
