Grounding ring

[Flaminpyro]

OK here is a new part for them hard to ground laser builds.

I like to use the 3rd pin or grounding pin that is on the laser diodes but not all laser diodes have the ground pin and it's not always easy to pick up
the ground for the driver so I came up with this idea and thought it might help others.

It's a Aixiz back half cut down and the chrome is removed and a silicon insulated lead is soldered on so now it's easy to get the ground for the driver.









If you need one check here, they will be available soon> http://laserpointerforums.com/f64/flaminpyros-stuf-67118-5.html#post966672

Great idea! Love it!

Good idea, I've struggled many times trying to solder on a "ground" connection, usually unsuccessfully. I looks like you made two threads: http://laserpointerforums.com/f39/grounding-ring-95546.html and of course this one.

That's a great idea!

Yep I made the first one or this one to let people know about the new part and then I really needed to make one that had a purchase button in it and that was in the BST section so that is why there are two, this one will just get lost in the old thread locker.

Is this in any way related to the classic "ground screw"?
