I'm posting this for the people who purchase the "hot option" version of the Aurora C6 group buy we're having. This is a simple tutorial for completing your 1.62A 445nm build.
GB: Aurora C6 kits - Page 2 - Laser Pointer Forums - Discuss Lasers & Laser Pointers
First off, your going to have your kit. It will look something like this. The color of your leads may change. Instructions will come with your kit informing you of the lead's polarity (positive & negative).
If you look inside you'll notice the driver guts.
You'll also notice some shrink tubing on each lead. Keep them in place as you'll need them later.
Now, you need your 445nm diode. It should already be place into an Aixiz module, or any 12mm module.
Now solder the leads onto the diode pins
Now, slide your shrink tubing over the solder points and heat up the tubing. I rub my soldering iron on them, you can also use a torch or lighter carefully.
Slide your module into the included heat sink and tighten it down using the set screw located on the side.
Insert the heat sink into the top of the host and screw on the black ring. Be sure the rubber o-ring is still present to ensure a proper fit. It is best to press on the top of the heat sink while screwing the top on to prevent it from spinning. If the heat sink spins, it could cause your wires to twist up and damage your diode.
Now insert your CR123 batteries, be sure not to put them in backwards!!! and you've got your new 445nm laser!!
That wasn't too hard......
