No Longer FS: New Pen Host Kits! Switch board with Spring Option - Nice!
All Gone... (No longer offering these as of 8/1/14 - sorry)
But you can email the supplier who has them: will@laser66.com
His sales page: http://www.laser66.com/html/PointerHost.html
These pen hosts are brand new and very clean.
They would be perfect for building a blu-ray or a red pointer using a FlexDrive with 2 X AAA batteries.
You would have to modify a small board and fit the included momentary switch, add a small spring for contact, etc... but not a problem if you have some basic building skills. (Board not included)
Switch board with spring option:
Here's an option for this build that will make it really easy to do the assembly! It is a blank board, fit for the black plastic switch mounting piece. It has a momentary switch and spring contact already mounted! Add $3 dollars for this option. (see below)
Note: These are available in several different styles:
Single hole:
* Black with chrome clip
* Black with gold clip
* All chrome
(Note: Two hole ones not available any longer) Two hole: (extra hole above the side button hole)
* Black with chrome clip
* All chrome
Two hole: The two hole ones are a little longer at the front. Like 1/4" or so. These would be easier to fit an O-like module. But the O-like module would still need to be shortened. The extra hole can easily be covered with a warning label!
The hole is easily covered with a warning label or sticker...
If there is interest in these Pen Hosts, I will stock about 10 at a time, and have them on hand.
* $11 dollars plus $3 dollars shipping. (U.S.)
* Add $3 dollars for each switch board with spring.
* Add $2 dollar shipping for each additional Pen. (U.S.)
* Please read my shipping policy here!
Don't forget lens options!:
* 405-G-1 glass lens mod - $55 31% increase for blu-ray vs AixiZ acrylic! (new) See link in signature!
* 650-G-1 glass lens mod for red! (fit for AixiZ) - $52 25% increase for red vs AixiZ acrylic! (new) Shown here: http://laserpointerforums.com/f64/f...modification-fit-aixiz-25-increase-46332.html
I must warn, if you have not built a Leadlight or a pen build before, I just want to warn you that they are very small builds and do require some decent building skills. Mostly understanding how to set current on a FlexDrive with a proper test load like many other builds, but the smaller the build, the harder it is. Getting the button just right can be a little tricky with pens.
That said, with these brand new kits, you can start with all new parts, and not have to take one apart, possibly causing damage!
These Pen Hosts are easy builds if you have some basic building skills...
Update:
I just got the 'all chrome' ones too. So I have both on hand...
Same price as the black with chrome clip pen hosts.
The chrome ones are a little longer at the front, and have an extra tiny hole above the side button that can easily be covered with a label.
