Re: "CLOSED.!!!" GB: For The New 3.8mm Red Diodes 660nm (Taking Payments for Round 2)

So where would I be able to find a 3.8mm diode press? I don't have any machining tools, so that's out of the question. Right now, I intend on buying a DC power supply, this way I can test the diode safely, along with other electronics projects I've been working on.

I asked a similar question in the discussion thread and I'm just going to make my own. Fiddy said drilling a 2.5mm hole into a piece of metal (I assume wood would work too) should work as a makeshift press. if you're in the US and you don't have a 2.5mm bit a 3/32 or 7/64 bit would be the closest size.

PM LAZEERER, I think he bought 20 extra to close out this buy. IIRC he said he will sell those. :)

I did Order Extras as "Replacments" So Iam Sure Ill Have a Few Left over. However You will have to wait untill everyone gets there diodes first.

Ill Concider a Round 3. But it probebly wont be for a Wial.

Had you PMed and told me your situation i would had put you in if you told me you would have paypent later on.:(

Iam Sorry.

You don't have to do that, I ordered more than I really need. I'll sell you one at my cost when they get here.

Let LAZEERER fill any orders he wants to fill first. I don't want to stick him with a bunch of reds that he doesn't need. But once he says he is definitely out then I can do one more. After that I'd like to keep the rest of the ones I have ordered right now.

So, to be clear... I'll let you guys both check with LAZEERER when the diodes come in. If he has them I'll let you get them from him. If he is out, or would rather keep what he has, then I'll sell each of you (MJoe and Midias) one diode each at my cost.
