Just showing off my new build, it's not but a simple 125ma PHR in a shiny aluminum case. The casing has a mounting tab flush along the bottom surface. I also added a key-switch to the back as a safety precaution.

DDL powered with a large heatsink inside, and a small one outside. Mains power. Thank to Drew from Modwerx, and Yobresal for the nice labels!

It's only a PHR, and I don't own a meter. All I know is, is that it melts my orange binder when focused to infinity through an aixis acrylic. :thinking:

Thanks everyone! I've had the parts for awhile, but couldn't get it done until holiday break.

The host is this, a Stinger Audio output converter. I recommend this host because the front panel was relatively easy to drill through, there are mounting tabs on the bottom front and rear of the enclosure, and there is a pcb standoff built-in to the inside, making the DDL driver a breeze to put together and install.

I recommend trying this one out for yourself!

Very nice work there, also a very intuitive idea using that host :) Great work! +rep
 
I have a similar looking heat-sink out of a PC I dis-membered, & a NEW PHR 803T diode, & a new DDL, LM317 driver, & after seeing what YOU did, I just might make myself a similar model. It would be my 1st labby. BTW, +1 REP for ingenuity in a slick, clean, & professional looking mini-labby. EXCELLENT WORK------------rob
 
I'm impressed, it look really clean and professional. I bet you would be able to sell it for few hundred.
 
I thought that was a professionally-built lab laser at first. It's a very small and sleek looking unit. Really nice.

Very well-done! :gj:
