I ordered a diode press set from him on the 6th and I've tried to contact him by PM and Email a few times but I've got no response from either and I have no diode press set and I could really use it right now because I tried pressing my M462 diode in without it and I realized it's not completely pressed in flat !

It should be in tight and flat, the back of the diode should be pushed in slightly past the edge of the module.

Off topic, Accu, how hard is it to modify one of them Thor lasers and change the diode?

He is often away on pyro projects, he will turn up, unless he became one of them.

It's not that bad once you understand how they come apart but you will need to either make or buy a tool to press the new diode into the "brass" let call it a "plug" and you will need a hardy pair of snap ring pliers that you will use as a sideways spanner wrench plus you will probably going to need a torch to heat up the different segments of the laser so you can unscrew them....

I blame the silly U.S. formatted dates. :whistle: :D
Silly Americans ! :beer:Only they can take a logical name like "football" a game where you only use your feet (and sometimes your hands but only one guy) and change it to "soccer" ! I guess the people playing that game also wear socks but that's besides the point !
