I'm at a loss.
What is this 3D printing about? You 3D printed molds in plastic of some type and saw that they fit?
Why not turn down your heatsink so the front will fit instead of buying a tap and thread?
Any ways, hope it works out.. Good luck.
If I think what your mentioning is right, I would have your friend with the lathe take a little bit off the heatsink width to where the front part of your Convoy host will slide over it. I'm guessing its still 25mm like you bought the stock.
Thats how the majority of these flashlight hosts are...
Can you draw a sketch of how you plan to build it.. That will help alot for members to answer'
Not sure where you want to thread on the host. The head piece of your Convoy S2 should be what holds down the heatsink. You can tap the side of the heatsink with any small tap to use a set screw to...
The laser addiction has began:)
Yellow lasers that are affordable will only be from 10mW to maby 50mW?
It will either come as a complete module thats ready to drop in a host or a complete build. They are way way cheaper to buy than 2 years ago.
As far as I know they are DPSS lasers and there is...
Keep that Gattling gun host laser for what it is.
Its a ok starter laser.. It has a small very thin brass module where the driver is pressed in that looks kinda wide but it is hollow underneath. Brass also isn't a good metal for heat sinking.. The driver in it is unstable also..
Not knocking it...
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but probably because you were banned and keep making new accounts..
I would talk to Moderator Unown and work out a plan.
You sometimes have to learn from your mistakes..
I am curious though how the seller let you return the drivers even though they weren't correct? You can in most cases adjust the driver to work with your diode.
A 5 W diode will take what ever Amps you throw at it I believe.
Edit: maby 5A max.
Just a thought. I know your in Poland which is why I didn't bring this up before but I would think about getting a ready to go "Plug an Play" host from LIfetime17.
Just connect 2 wires and slide the module in.. His prices are very good so shipping wouldn't be that bad.
This way you can take...
Where are you with your build plan?
Do you have a lathe? because you mentioned you will make your own heatsink.
This gives you a chance to drop a complete 12mm module/driver into the host.
I can find a heatsink with the board that drops into a 501B host and show a pic. Its setup to take that...
I'm seeing alot of new comers needing help on builds plus do I need safety glasses.
It's good your helping:) cause before there was plenty of members who chimed in and not so much now.
Just to say that your PTLB450B diode will take 1.8A. I'm a bit confused thats why I mention it. I have 3 like I told you running at 1.8A.
Did you buy a Survival laser Convoy host with the heatsink included?
You do know that you might have to set the output Amps yourself..
I think the last...
Each battery whether the 18650 or the shorter 18350 is a 3.7v to 4.1v cell.
2 18350's in series is about the same length a 1 18650. So you can use 2 18350's in your host.
Using 2 18350's will give you 8.4v to 9.2v which most buck drivers use and you can run the diode at 1.8A for max power.
Your...
