Sooo.... she flies or no? Btw I don't think the tape would have worked (no offense shane) it just seems like a bad idea.

atm, im waiting for my lens to dry under a lamp (middle lens still has some moisture on it)
So right now, here is the best raw pic i can get
It seems perfect to me, however, its a little short on the side where the gold piece on the diode is. There is no more glass on it, (cleaned the rest out and collected it) so im not sure if its supposed to be, but I'd say this is much better than it was
thoughts?

It looks good, the only thing I can say is I've taken apart a 3 element to clean it and if you resort to that make sure you use a microfiber cloth or electronics cleaning pads for tv screens and whatnot. Also don't forget order of assembly.
Edit: I guess use a more conservative duty cycle as well, there's a bit of debate when it comes to de-canning 445nm diodes so hit up the 445nm section of the forum and check it out. Searching helps too I'm sure. :beer:

Also with that hook i didnt even need to take the diode out so it was nice
My new batteries should be coming in tomorrow (the ones I have now where extracted from a shot laptop battery) so when they come and there fully charged Ill put up a review.
So happy now - thanks you all
