My laser is awesome, but one of the problems is how quickly it overheats. It's slightly annoying having to manually cycle it every 45 seconds, and that means that I can't set it down to play with the beam at a distance.
Has anybody found any methods of drawing heat away from the heatsink in an already constructed handheld? Or alternatively any simple ways to automatically go through a duty cycle?
I was brainstorming and came up with placing the tip of the pointer in a makeshift heatsink and maybe using a fan to make up for the inefficiency of the cooling. However, I'm not sure if the case of my host is conductive enough to draw away enough heat for it to be plausible.
