Re: FS: 18650 Build Kit! Easy Assembly! Blu-ray or Red...

ok i dunno if should post this in here, if not you can delete or copy and paste it in the right place, it does have to do with your kit though. well i used a WH08LS20 which can be bought on ebay for like 155. this is an 8x blu ray burner. i could not find a red diode in the drive, or it's a weird looking one so i didn't realize it was a diode. i got a flex drive and set it to 350ma or so and i run it in jayrob's 18650 arora host. i let it run for like 10 min or maybe even more... at least 5 min i can say 100% for a fact. my bff was writing stuff in wood and drawing pics. of course i gave her my red tinted green laser shades for some protection. the front part got a lil warm, but i didn't feel any noticeable heat through the housing.

i dunno if this is a good finding or if it's only because the heat sink doesn't transfer heat through the anodized body, but just thought i'd share my duty cycle. the light doesn't dim or anything. the host doesn't get that hot... just a bit warm. as far as weather here... whoevers can look that up to have a better judgment. i have no idea what my laser is putting out exactly cuz i got no LPM.

i'd like to think that it's because the heat sink is great, and the diode i got is very efficient. i will let you guys know if and when this diode dies :)

The kit arrived this morning and it looks great...:D The host is slightly smaller than I had imagened but that is a good thing, will make a very nice blu-ray laser:)


Still waiting for the diode to arrive though, so cant get cracking on it just yet...

Thanks for the quick and easy transaction jayrob...:D

I just helped a member with one of these kits. It is the first one I've seen/worked on. They are VERY SWEET kits! It was easy to work with, and the finished laser felt great in my hand!

:gj:

Peace,
dave

Thanks for your expert input Dave! :)

It is an amazingly 'slim' host for such a huge supply capacity...

Not sure if you saw the EzFocus adapter with that one that you worked on, but it is a nice fit for this build! :cool:

The one I worked on didn't have the focus adapter, but I can see how it would flow with the look of the front of this nice host.

I wouldn't hesitate for a moment putting any diode all the way up to, and including, a 12X in this one.

You'd need a focus adapter (and a 405-G-1 lans) for an 8X, 10X, or 12X :eg:

Peace,
dave
