For those of you who saw my first thread: http://laserpointerforums.com/f50/first-build-sort-its-altoids-93851.html, I've since rebuilt it to address some things that were bugging me, namely:
1. Duty cycle was about 45 seconds on/off Now unlimited
2. The battery pack was glued outside of the case, now i use a 16340 inside

Nice. That heatsink is so perfect for Altoids tins, I just wish it had a slightly smaller diameter so you could use thermal paste
