Hey guys,
since one or two weeks I'm planning to build my next laser. I know that my last buildthread wasn't the best one so now I will try to do it better!
I think that will be done, because this week I'm at my father and he has a amazing camera - Nikon D5000. (Click on a picture to see it at fullsize, I decreased it in the thread because they was too big)
The build isn't finished yet but I will you show some pics. At first, there is my Host. It fits for two CR123A and has a perfect driverpill. Driver is already installed and set to 925mA:
After I bought and got that host, I realized, that I hasn't any type of Heatsink for it. And what to do if that is so? Right! Build a own. I did that, It isn't perfect but I hope it works. There some pics by the buildthread:
At first I put 8 1,5x20x12mm wisher's together and clamped they on a very big soldering iron. This was the Idea of my father. If the heatsink was hot enough we put solder on it and after that we waited to cooled it down. Look.
Before soldering:
After:
After it cooled down (Doesn't looks great but It works :wave:
A 9th wisher put on it, because It looks ugly without it when I put in the Host.
There I have a pic for you of my M140 diode. As I already said, the diode will be running at 1.4A but with just 3.7-4.2V. Thould be okay? I hope so!
Until now I hope you like it. I will upload more pics in a few days, If my next parts are arrived.
BTW.: There are a album of all pics I made: Laserbuild Thread LPF TimTom - Imgur
