Hey everyone. I just got back from the student machine shop working on a heatsink for my AA MXDL host for a LPC-815.
Anyone, so I figured I would post some pictures! I don't have the diode in the bad boy yet, but it'll be my... finest... creation yet, I hope. Going to run it off a single 14500 battery using a flexdrive, probably set it at 250mW or so output power (just going to adjust current until I get that), and, with this hefty heatsink, it should be able to go... forever. Hopefully, anyway!
And now what you have all been waiting for, pictures!
So the front view, with the fins.
The back view, with that little ridge there to fit perfectly into the pill that the host comes with.
And finally, the gal with her big nose! This heatsink is pretty damn hefty though, and with the help of the fins, I am hoping for no duty cycle.
I polished it as best I could, but I couldn't manage to get a mirror finish on it... at least not in the time I was taking. But as you can see, it reflects pretty damn well! Anyway, what do you guys think? I'm going to try to become another one of the forum's machinists, as we seem to be slightly lacking lately (Moh, etc.).
