RawPaul Host

Here is new HOST by RawPaul he is a very good machinist and can probably make anything you need so give
him a PM if your looking for something well made.

I don't have a name for this host yet you will have to ask Paul but it's a good one made from Aluminum for two
18650 cells it came with a Aluminum heat sink that was set up so the focus adapter is recessed so it couldn't
get bumped but I swapped out a copper one because I wanted to put a High Power 445 in there, I also added
one of my 30Cal. focus adapters

Some specs:

445nm 9mm LD from here> https://sites.google.com/site/dtrlpf/home/diodes/9mm-445nm
1800mA X-drive V6 from here> http://laserpointerforums.com/f39/x-drive-x-boost-88589-3.html#post1289145
G2 lens from DTR's shop
Copper Aixiz module
Copper heat sink
host from RawPaul
18650 cells are Samsung 2800mhA
Peak PO 2989mW
Average PO 2727mW









Here is the driver with a "flag" copper heat sink, I used Arctic Alumina to attach it.



The 9mm copper Aixiz module was a bit loose fit so I used some Arctic Alumina on it also.


And to provide a ground path for the driver I soldered a lead to the inside of the back half of the Aixiz module.



So if I didn't already have one of these bad boys I would get one as they are a very nice host

Thanks for lookin :beer:

Is it plug and burn or press fit diode?

Nice looking build/host you've got there Jeff!
It's always good to have new machining talent on the forum.
Great job on that host RawPaul; looking forward to seeing more from you!

It's a press fit 445nm 9mm driven at 1800mA with a X-Drive V6 in a copper Aixiz module in a copper heat sink and a G2 lens and as you can see by the LPM it tops out at 2998Mw

I got the diode here> https://sites.google.com/site/dtrlpf/home/diodes/9mm-445nm
