What are you running the 12X at?

You using a G-1?

Nice! and the beam has better characteristics for burning that 445nm.
good job!
Show us some more pictures of your set up!

Impressive. You may want to reconsider the current though. 0.5A is not fatal to a diode, but it could decrease it's lifetime for some amount.
I am using 470mA driver in my 12X build, and I was told that maximum safe long life current is 425 mA. I'm still considering modification of the driver since I did testing and through quite some usage, I have not measured, not one miliwatt of power drop.
But you may not be as lucky.
Nice heatsink

Nice heatsink
It is done in semi-finished style
I think I'm lucky, as my 6x ran at 260 mA long time although other's diodes died at 180 mA very fast

perfect! This is a Dr.Lava boost driver? i see you are using a tabbed 18650 cell for power.
Lower the current on that diode. I have had too many 6x die from even slightly elevated current levels. !

Cool heatsink, first time I seen a tooth pic used like that :crackup:

That is an impressive burner! Great work on your project. Очень приятные глазу дизайн.
No. It is my homemade boost driver. I use same driver (at higher current) for my 445.
I kill my 6x not long ago when I tried to extract it from Aizix module
Thanks!
