Hey everyone!
I wanted to share my latest edition with you all! These part were all donated to me from a friend. I'm not sure if he wants me to put his name in the thread so I'll leave it out for now. (You know who you are!)
Parts list:
1x Custom Ehgemus white powder coated host with side push button momentary switch
1x Custom focus adaptor by Ehgemus
1x DTR's Laser Shop NDG700 700mW 520nm Diode In Copper Module W/X-Drive & G-2 Glass Lens - Driver set to 1.8A
Description:
This laser is super light weight and very beautiful. The module was a perfect fit! I added some arctic silver thermal compound to give the laser a slight boost in thermal conductivity since I am running the laser very hard.
A few issues I had were that the powder coating was cracked/flaking a bit near the button but it's not a huge issue as I can probably hide that with a glow ring or just sand it away. Another issue was, polarity was not immediately obvious (Can't always trust the colors of the wires even though in most cases red = + and black = -). I had no way to tell which way the batteries had to go in unless I tested it. Which I did.
Lastly I would like to thank my friend, DTR, Lazeerer, and Ehgemus for all the hard work you guys do. Now some pictures!
