Survival Lasers Stainless & S4 Builds!

G'day,

So i had been keen to build these 2 builds for a while, im very happy the way turned out.

I polished up the copper heatsinks so they where nice and shiny then i clear coated the heatsinks to stop them from oxidizing

Firstly used these parts on the Stainless host:

405-G-1 Lens
9mm Copper Module
Thermal Paste between Diode & Heatsink.
9mm BenQ Diode.
Extended and Tapered Copper Heatsink.
Blitzbuck V3 @ ~2A
Battery Extension Tube

Secondly i used these parts on the S4 host:

405-G-1 Lens
3/4" Focus Adapter
9mm Copper Module
Thermal Paste between Diode & Heatsink.
9mm BenQ Diode.
Tapered Copper Heatsink.
Blitzbuck V3 @ ~2.2A
Stainless Battery Extension Tube
GITD O-rings on the body.

In preparation for these high currents, i heat-sunk the drivers IC with a driver heatsink that i cut up with a hacksaw.


I also thermally glued a copper driver heatsink to the pill on both pills, the same as what RyanElectro did:


Yummy photos:





Now these puppies are powerful, i was using a 3 element glass and the LPM was reading over 2W :drool:




Stainless peaked at over 2.4W! (on graph it doesnt say 2.4W as is was passed 1min before it made it there)




S4 peaked at 3W

Just these 2 alone, make 5.4W's of power, that is insane!

Beamshot:

Note 1 is using a 405-G-1 and cannot focus fully

Thanks for looking!

Fiddy.

Woow 3.000mW build in a 18650 host!

you mean 3000mw right

Anyway, Fiddy that's amazing :beer: 3W in such a small host...

ahh very pretty hosts man, nice builds :beer:

I like the glow in the dark rings!

All that power and not a single beamshot?

Sweet builds :beer:

Awesome builds Fiddy!!! What a great idea to put the GITD o-rings in the grooves! :drool: :bowdown:

Very Nice Build !

Would you mind to tell me from where you get those GITD o-rings ? I have searched a lot and nothing...

Thanks Ahead ,

O-RINGS 1

O-RINGS 2

I got mine from DX too bad there aren't as many as before.

Love your idea with the GITD rings on the s4. Is it o-rind 1 or 2? I'll be getting my s4 this week.

foulmist is right on the money. "O-ring 2" is what i used, they are 24mm, wont hurt to order the 20mm ones tho for other builds

the orings I posted are 2 different diameters. Depends on the host what you need. A little smaller diameter orings than the host will work great.

Ok thanks

But I got a problem with dx... They doesn't send to Israel any more.

Is there any chance that I will buy them from you guys ?

Thanks ,
Eitan.

How much do you need and what diameter?
