This is unreal and extremely painful it is rediculous to no end. I ordered a Survival laser 1400mW parts bundle in the stainless host with the extended copper heat sink from Garoq whom has been extremely helpful. Maybe I'm not meant to have such a nice 445 build in the best host I've ever seen. Nothing has gone right in this entire process process and this time today the fault is my own.
1) Laser arrived on Thursday and I am off Saturday so I get ready to assemble it. I notice the lense, spring, and allen wrench were missing so I emailed Garoq, no problem, he forgt to send them and they were on the way.
2) The components arrive and I assmeble the laser, time for a test.
3) After putting on my goggles and turning it on for the first time the laser runs for about one second and then just dies.
4) I emailed Garoq frustrated and wondering what my options were now, he was outstanding knew I was sincere and offered to replace my defective diode with a superior 1800mW all at no charge to me. I was truly greatful. I sent the defective diode back that day.
5) The new diode arrived this afternoon and I begin assembly from my table. After screwing on the diode to the host and moving the heat sink over the diode I reached over to pick up the metal ring and then to my horror the host rolled off the table hit the ground with high force and I saw that the wires had snapped in two.
6) I knew then that it was over and this time it was my fault. I called Gary and he was willing to have me send the diode back for a resaudering. I'm greatful but I fear the diode won't possibly survive such a fall, especially when attached to the heavy stainless host with the extended copper heat sink.
In conclusion this is painful beyond relief and I hope no one else ever has to go through it.
