Still a laser newbie here, but I keep reading about how you guys (and chics?) are having heating issues with the diode and heatsink. so I was curios and did a search for micro fans. I have seen several sizes from 0.6" (maybe smaller) and up that run on 3v for around $12. Couldn't you mount it in a base attached to the bottem of the host using a watch batt to run it and to avoid 'noise' running through your driver. Drill exhaust ports below it and tapered inlet holes in the heat sink or holes running parallel in the sink to allow flow? Not sure what the CFM would be but maybe give you a longer run time. :thinking:
