Petrovski said:About the machine residue in the thread: that's what probably damaged the thread on my laser. Looking back I was probably better off cleaning that thread with a rag as well. Small tip: lube the threads a bit so you decrease the chance of the threads "eating" each other. (sorry, don't know how to translate that properly)

I didn't clean it thoroughly enough... and guess what? one of the threads on the cap is damaged. ugh. Well, at least it's light enough on the batteries that I won't have to open it all that much.
PICTURES ARE COMING!
