hey guys!
Let me start by saying i am not a machinist, or one of the great laser builders of this millenium. :'( but my question is this. my neighbor is a machinist and he said he could build me an aluminum host. he says he can make it so the diode fits directlin in to the host w/out the aixiz module and he can tap the head for m9, 0.5 pitch for the optics.(ok thats not a question). but this is. Can i run my lead wires a couple inches to the driver or does the diode have to be directly soldered to the driver? :-?.

thanks
michael

Wires from driver to LD are no problem at all, go for it :)
Post the finished build though.

Hey thoughts, im sure you know anodizing is an electrocote process and delivers a small layer of the anodizing material. i guess my main concern would be about heat sinking.

I noticed that on the heat sink I got from Dark_Hores that was anodized there is no connection where the coating is I did a continuity test and it only made a connection where there was no coating.  Just keep this in mind if you plan on using the host a positive or negative for the laser. Make sure there is no coating where it makes contact to ensure a good connection.

Hope it works out

Anodized metal is non-conductive

thanks justin and dave. This good info. i was gonna use the frame as a conductor for the neg. i guess i still could just sand off the anodize thoug or small machine screw.
