Copper "pen" host made by Sinner build by me!!

Hello all :beer:

Today I had some time on my hands and i decided to build the "Copper pen" sinner had sent me!

I started by sanding the inner part of the host. Fitting the copper module in the front of the host. I made it so it was very snugg. And it would go in with a press fit.



Then it was time for the diode and driver. I fitted a fresh 9mm 445 in the copper module:



I used an X-drive mini V7 for this build. At 1.8A it should give the tiny cells a run for their money. With this host being all copper i could go higher but you need to make a decission on how long you want the batteries to last :tinfoil:



Ended up looking like this with a spring attached:



It all had to be very tiny to fitt everything I was building and thought where am I going to put the gound wire? :can: The 9mm has no case pin. So I put wire around the threads and put solder onto it. Then when I would press it into the host the wire will sit pressed between the threads and the host.

The host came together great. I used a 405-G2 lens for this build:



I also had a case laying around which I thought would would be perfect for this laser. I made it like this:





I also made a warning label with the output in it!:



For those that want to see the power better:



YESS :gun: 2.5W of sweetness at 1.8A in a pen :wave: nice!

About the host itself. Sinner did a great job! It is very heavy and keeps the laser cool for quite a good time! With the press fitt and arctic silver the laser has a duty cycle of max 60 seconds before it needs cooling. I am pretty happy with that though!

There is a small mistake in the colouring here:



But i have a plan to make it flawless

Thanks for looking!

Nice build keeping it super simple. It's good that the wire wrapped around the module threads make a solid connection. Not bad on the LPM either.

Wow. Great job man!

Very nice laser penmanship offroadfreak8582. Love the case with the power chart.
Cool simple build, nice job.

Absolutely beautiful. Love it!

Nice build there offroadfreak8582. Was not really into pen hosts much but lately they have been growing on me. Now I see this one and I want one of my own! But I will wait! Soooon I will get off my butt and send some details to sinner of a custom host I want him to make, actually 2 custom hosts, both similar but not the same!

Nice build! I really like the look of those chrome pens. I still have my white 1x10440 laying around that i wanted to put a 405 in, but after seeing a couple builds people have done, I am leaning more towards a 445. Would be an epic little laser!

Also really like that case. Any idea where you got it?

Hey guys!

Thanks for all the nice comments :beer: i am really liking this laser for it's size! I actually got the case for years. It was originally a Sony PSP case. But since i never used it i figured it would be a great case for this i figure you can get them on ebay or something!

Thanks for looking!!

Se*y sleek build and mirror polished... yummy. Good to see you at another great laser build work, Robin! Very well balanced power & performance.

A keeper indeed:gj:
