Hi Everyone I would like to share some pics of the Sinner Copper Pen host. These are awesome pens and just like his other amazing pieces of workmanship these are the bomb !! Just thru this together this morning these are sweet. Its a 638nm /700mW Oclaro with a Xdrive mini set to 900mA puts out 760mW /G2 lens.It takes 2-10440 cells.Enjoy hope you Guys and Gals like it.

Rich:)

Lifetime, that's a nice looking Sinner pen build you've got there; it's good to see some red builds for a change! You've got to love Sinners hosts, especially his copper ones! :beer:
I wonder it would be worthwhile to maybe put a couple of dabs of epoxy between the driver/module connection to keep the pressure off of the diode pins.

Hi B,
I was talking with Sinner and he suggested the same thing. I'll give it a go on the next build . He is remarkable and CU is his forte and his style is timeless.I have 4 of these hosts.AL is ok but CU rules second to none. As to the epoxy application it's ok if nothing goes wrong other wise it would be semi permanent. That's the only thing that scares me.But on the other hand it's purely logical and would work great.
Another host that's awesome are his MS=V5's copper heads talk about a duty cycle holy cow..

Hi G,
I think he still makes them to date. PM him and ask these are awesome pens, if you look at his other larger host it resembles his style but in miniature .
And the duty cycle is great. I just built another one but with a PLTB450B diode in it, it LPM's at around 2300mW with a G2 lens. These are really cool pens i bought 4 of them just to have. I'm going to try a NDG700 in one of them soon. Get in touch with him and shipping is very fast with DHL real time tracking.

Yeah, you can get away with a lot of power in a small host, as long as you're usin copper. I wish it were that easy for me to snatch up a laser/laser parts like that, but it ain't easy for a lazy fifteen year old to get some decent cash nowadays. Do let us know how it goes with the NDG700s, as that's a lot of heat and brightness from such a small host. Cheers! :beer:

Wow another pretty one, your on a copper host high:) There just must be some magic when holding one in your hand. You answered my quest with having 4 of them now, and I remb 2 others being blue. Whats the wavelength of the other do you have the rainbow in these hosts?

Hi,
With these host's i thought heat would be a problem.But in reality the whole host is a heat sink and it takes it like a champ.The duty cycle is very long considering the size of it, you'll be surprised.

@GSS,
I also have a full Brass host from ehugemus with a BDR-209/405nm Peaks close to 900mW. I have a whole lot of hosts to build thats no problem. So i figured to go with some pens well nows'm hooked on them. Copper is the way to go with them Aluminum is ok but no comparison to Copper anyway .

How are you estimating the duty cycle by feel on how hot it gets and how long have you pushed one? Gabe when you start to make good money just imagine what will be out by then!

Hi G,
I use a hand held IR thermal detector they are very handy for estimating heat dispersion.
And also use a stop watch to time the length of the duty cycle.It works out really well no guessing involved.
