Having found my new host barrel i had to try fitting it out with an LM317 driver and SenKat red....

rog8811 · Mar 22, 2008

The circuit is, as shown below, mainly inside the Aixiz housing.....

rog8811 · Mar 22, 2008

Shroud in place, the pos contact is soldered onto the wire sticking out of the top.....

rog8811 · Mar 22, 2008

It runs from 2 TR10440 batteries, so 7.2v, as there is not much of a heatsink it gets warm quite quickly....not too bad though, there was enough time to light a couple of matches before it felt warm.

Here it is alongside my new Blue-ray.....

It isn't quite finished (too cold in the workshop tonight) I will make an aluminium shroud, to focus it, which will cover the end of the Aixiz module, where it sticks out.

where did you get the host?

sound cool...

That's awsome rog, I never thought you could fit a DDL driver inside an aixiz housing, I bet if you had used SMD parts you could've fitted the whole thing inside.

His blu-ray driver (a 7805 driver was it?) fits completely into the aixiz housing.I think it's genious how he made it fit :

ooooh blu-ray :

I was too impatient on this one, I ordered some Tantalum capacitors from ebay....he sent me electrolytics, I may have managed to get it all inside the Aixiz if I had waited for the replacements :

.

The LM317 is cruelly cut down, tab cut off, sides filed down, middle leg cut off flush and input leg cut to a stub....It still works fine though

.

The host torch is from Ebay, I have been looking at the idea of making a kit of parts for the blue ray ( You could attempt the red with SMD as chido says) as follows.

Modified barrel with tail cap and clicky switch (it is not the nicest feeling clicky in the world but it does the job)
Aixiz module with isolator and battery contact button

You just need to add your LD, Circuit and a pair of TR10440 batteries from DX.

I could do it for $40 (£20) ...I would need to find out how much postage to the US would be though. Let me know if you are interested.

I wanted to say that a tantalum cap would've fit nicely and completely inside

rog8811 · Mar 23, 2008

I have now got it finished, it now sports a stainless steel focusing sleeve....

rog8811 · Mar 23, 2008

Beam shot, cos it would be rude not too......

That looks.... Really nice, and that metal end cap makes it look complete while still being able to focus it.

How big is the diameter of the barrel, like is it aa or aaa width?

...lazer... ;D ;D ;D

chido · Mar 23, 2008

Very nice job rog, kudos to you especially for being able to fit the entire driver in there.
