Thanks guys. I will post a video as soon as I am able. I am borrowing a digital cam from a friend. I got the host from Ebay. It is the Playmates version circa 1997. The Assault Phaser used a removable Power clip and was actually inspired by today's firearms. The idea for it was thought up by William Shatner for the movie Star Trek V which he directed. Considered by many to be the most desired version, admittedly it is not as futureristic looking as the classic phaser, it does feel cool when you push the clip in!
Yes, there are two heat sinks. I uzilized an Aluminum finned block heatsink for the Flexdrive mounted with thermal adhesive. The other is a rather unique idea I came up with. I drilled out the Fake emitter to hold the Aixiz module. Then I used heavy copper foil and rolled it using the outside of the housing. I pre-cut the pieces to fit inside the back part of the housing and inserted multiple layers and used adhesive on one corner to keep them together. This creates an air space between them and with the top of the module screwed on, it touches and draws the heat away. It works suprisingly well. Short duty cycles help, but I have used it for burning without any problems.
