Burning laser kit

Hi i saw this kit on ebay and it ships in the US so thats kinda cool! Burning Laser Bundle Kit 250-300mW, 660nm Red Diode, Driver, Blank Aixiz Module | eBay Looks like i would need two 16340s to finish it. What would be a good host to put this in? Also it mentions heatsinking the driver. How would i go about this. Im also open to put this in a project box. Any advice?

Hey, that kit looks familiar... :thinking:



1) So yeah, you're going to need a couple of li-ions to power it or a wallwart. Anything over 5.5V, just don't use a 9V battery.

2) It will work with pretty much any host that can hold two batteries. I've got one in a C6 host and it works awesome. The C6 is a pretty standard host for building lasers, so they are easy to get a hold of and there's lots of documentation on them. A project box would be fine as well.

3) As far as heatsinking goes, yes. Get yourself some two-part thermal epoxy, like Arctic Alumina, and attach the side of the driver with the IC and the resistors to a chunk of metal, or in the case of the C6, attach it to the pill.

4) Get the kit from my website. It's cheaper than on eBay.

Thanks!! Its Awsome the seller is on this forum! Its def cheaper than buyin a new dvd burner! +1
