Oh yeah I saw on Pgae 12 you told people their orders had been sent out, does this mean you have the host back in stock? Thanks.

Yes, I have them as of Monday...

If I was supposed to tell you, sorry. I must have forgot.

But yes, I have them on hand! :)

Since you and I are both in the U.S., I could have a kit to you in a couple of days. Three days max...

So no hurry then, if you are waiting on O-like. That will be about 2 weeks after you order. (at best)

johnb, I am sending your DIY Green kit today. (Thursday)

:thanks:





New option!

Add a kaleidoscope tip to my DIY Green custom front piece! :)

This is a nice option that I will offer if you want one!

The dust cap that is included with your DIY Green kit fits right over the kaleidoscope tip as well! :cool:

Here are the pictures...

The 'kaleidoscope' tip turns to give some different patterns!


I will offer the kaleidoscope tips pre-mounted into a custom front piece that you can just 'swap out' with your existing front piece...

Note: This tip was made for a 30mW laser, and I do not yet know for sure if the diffraction gratings will degrade with higher powers...



Pricing:

Custom front piece including the kaleidoscope tip mounted with a set screw as shown in the first picture - $34 dollars.

If you order this new 'Star Tip' assembly separate from your DIY Green kit order, it will be $3 dollars shipping.
* Please read my shipping policy here!

P.S. I only have 9 of these tips that I want to sell... If they become popular, then I can easily get more! :)

So we get the original custom front peice and another one that has the kaleidoscope tip mounted? To switch the two front peices we just take off the retaining ring and unscrew the front peice?

Yes, you just take off the host retaining ring, and the aluminum front pieces will just change out!

They don't screw into the host, they just slide in, and are held tight with the host retaining ring...

Oh even better! But were you saying something to Dark about sliding the O-Like Module up a few mm?

Yes, I would include an instruction sheet with the new tips...

You would just set the module about 1/8" farther back than normal. And also cut about 1/8" of the spring shorter. Really easy!
Jay

P.S. I have 10 of these tips on order that I want to sell, but I believe Dark is going to have different tips, with different pattern options!

So I will be directing people to him for the tips, and I will fit my DIY Green front pieces to his tips. (I will have 1 of each of his tips on hand to make sure I get the right fit)

Or, I may just send the 10 tips that I ordered to Dark, depends on what he wants to do, because it's his idea...

Wait so once you cut the spring an 1/8th of an inch shorter would you ever be able to slide the O-like module back up to its original location, and not use the Kaleidoscope front piece Wouldn,t the battery be loose if you slid it up?

Once you position the module in the 1/8" shorter (closer to the tail cap) position, you will just leave it there for either front piece...

The front piece is just a plug in the end of the host to give it a clean look, and a small exit aperture. So it will not matter if the beam travels some extra distance inside the host before it exits the custom front piece...

Oh ok cool! Hopefully whatever module I get from O-like will have the beam exiting the module not at a slight angle.

Most seem nice and straight!

But even the ones that are off, are not off any where near far enough to cause any issues exiting the host. That would have to be WAY OFF!

Cool! So what's going on with the tip options, have you and Dark worked it out? We will have to order them seperately from him? There are different tips? Thanks.

You'll have to check with him, but I believe he said he had ordered some...

In 7-8 days, i will have a selection of FIVE different tips to choose from, and some 150mW o-like modules for sale.

They will be sold on Dark Lasers, and me and Jay both ship quite quickly, hes west coast, im easr coast, so no one should ever have to wait more than 4-5 days (if that) even with first class mail.

PM me with any questions guys, but Jay pretty much knows the deal ;)

Tips are on the way peoples!! some AWSOME ones too!! totaly trippy!
