Hey, my pleasure. I love the size of this thing! But at the same time its got some a very solid feel to it and the polished look it incredible. This is my first 6X and the burning power is powerful! Oh man, I can't wait to get a 12X!!
The AixiZ module is what holds the diode. It also holds the lens. So you need an AixiZ module. The link you posted to HTD is the diode pre-installed into the AixiZ module. (recommended)
If you get your diode pre-installed into an AixiZ module, then the AixiZ module will fit into my heatsink. You will need a 1.5mm Allen wrench for the heatsink set screw. The set screw will be there, but the wrench is not included...
The only tricky part, is to then thread the entire assembly into the head of the host without letting the heatsink/module assembly turn separate from the pill. Otherwise, the wires will get twisted...
I have found that you can just pinch the heatsink/module assembly together with the pill/driver, and then turn the head of the host with your other hand until it is snug. Then use some needle nosed pliers to put a final tightening onto the pull by putting the tips of the pliers onto the slots of the pill. (or solder blobs if no slots)
You do not want a loose heatsink because then it could twist while focusing your lens... Plus it is better heatsinking when it is tight to the pill and host...
So yes, it is a very easy assembly with a 'Hot' option if you have your diode pressed into an AixiZ module. But you must still have some basic building skills...
The lens just threads into the AixiZ module. If you get the EzFocus adapter, it just threads onto the lens before you install the lens. That part is easy...
No, the head just doesn't want to fully screw on, the heatsink seems to long, but I think it's the brass ring that's stuck mid-way into the pill. As for the battery, it's just to tick for the barrel, so I used jumpers for the tests.
