Ok, here ya go!

As you can see I did not use the lava drive. I didn't expect to get your kit so fast and lava, he has been...well...out of stock:whistle:
So I used this o-like driver. Actually kinda cool that it works. I had to use a cr2 and not a 123. Very nice fit tho, build feels solid even without a threaded pill.

Maybe you can do a hot-option/o-like and and make this even easier/cheaper... just a thought.

Overall, great kit! took me about 30 seconds to complete (I had the module pre-built but didn't expect to use it for this).

Pretty cool man! I have not tried one of the o-like drivers yet...

Good job with the improvisation! :gj:

Jay, how much would it cost to get just the pill drilled out and the host (in other words, no heat sink)? I'm thinking on a copper heat sink for a possible 6x down the road.

The normal kit heatsink is make of 6061 aluminum. I will offer a copper heatsink option for the Pocket Mini Kit! :)

Not for other kits, my mini lathe doesn't like copper. But these heatsinks are small, and I don't mind making them in copper.

I will charge $8 dollars extra for the copper heatsink version of the kit.

If you want just the host with the pill drilled out, and no heatsink included, it will be $24 dollars plus shipping...

does that mean that the heatsinks alone will cost $20?

I had mentioned in a different post somewhere, that I would sell the aluminum heatsinks with set screw for $19. So I guess I should say that without the heatsink, the kit will be $24, not $23.

That means a copper heatsink with set screw by itself, will be $27 dollars plus shipping. ($3 dollars shipping - heatsink only)

Hey I just went to buy some copper and I must change my price. The stuff is quite expensive!

They will be $27 each plus $3 dollars shipping. (heatsink only)

Or, add $8 dollars to the normal kit price for copper instead of aluminum...

Just finished my matching red Pocket Mini - driver set to 300mA for long life, LCC from DarkLasers (great service!) and a Meredith Red Lens.

The result, a spiffy match to my blu-ray Pocket Mini outputting 209mW. I haven't stress tested the laser yet, but 2-3 minute burns result in very little warming of the host.

I've mastered the Pocket Mini, but there's lots more kits for me to build!

I have the driver set to 180mA's per our discussion. (blu-ray test load)

Your going to love that copper heatsink! I put one in my Pocket Mini 8X and it is nice and heavy feeling...
