Hi, anyone here built a Kryton barrel laser that can help me with one thing.
I was nearly finish when i forgot, didnt realised that thebit at the top where the battery will meet with the spring or wire to connect the top end of the battery to the driver. What do you use there??? cause it just got a hole, and you cant put a spring cause it will just fall through. you cant connect a spring to the + directly onto the driver cause than the driver will move around when the battery cap is screwed in,. Unless you glue the driver with the spring attached to it, onto the inner bit of the laser barrel.


Can someone help me with this bit. Any suggestion or picture of the your built as sample?

Thanks in advance

Tommy

Hot glue the driver to the "head." Solder a spring to the driver. Place a piece of plastic straw around the spring.

Peace,

Personally I use 5min epoxy (thermal) for bonding, if it cant be soldered. Anything else will eventually come loose, and even worse insulate the heat (thats a bad thing ;)) I have not used the parts you refer to, but no matter what your building, laser+heat+non-conductive adhesives= BAD...

Hope that helps :)

You read my mind Wannaburn, i was going to use the Epoxy glue cause its stronger and its clear. Hot glue wont stick to metal or alluminum. Thanks :)
