Re: New Nichia 9mm 1W 520nm diode 1W 520nm. That will certainly bring one back to lasers. Watching prices. :pop:

A clear plastic lid is fine for CO2 laser cutters. A lot of material won't reflect it & that clear lid is opaque to the beam. It would have to cut through to get out.

This made me want... zL4NuLpXU7c ... what was I saying?

How do you find the purchases a user makes? :thinking:

Whats the smallest you've found so far? Have you seen the 4mm square ones on ebay?

I had my own AC in addition to the house AC ! :na: I was unusually hot as a child / teen. My Mom felt bad and gave me my own AC. :thanks: mom <3 <3 In slightly warm temperatures my ears would glow bright red. I loved fall & winter! School thought I was being neglected since snow would be...

Search 'decan' & you'll find some methods. Definitely better to try cleaning the diode window a few times (search for cleaning methods).

Re: X-Boost V7 Mini (10mmx12mm) 1.8A Laser Driver Perhaps try a batch on a hotplate? :thinking: Reflow the DFNs on the hotplate & do the other side in a toaster. Epoxy the little monster if it tends to move during 2nd reflow.

If your concern is about just the water indicator stickers themselves then ebay sells new stickers. ;) Wondering if water damage can often progress after the pcb seems dry & functional? Be interesting just to know what common sources of later water damage are. Corrosion, moisture sensitive...

Several members, myself included, have decanned diodes without an expensive tool. You can place a diode into the jaws of a lathe, dremel or power drill & hold a razor against the can as it spins (at the back edge / farthest from the window). Might not want to risk it if the diode is rather...

Beep test? Hearing test?

If the bid was in the last few seconds isn't that usually a snipe bot? So no one may have been online at the time then. Are there really account details they get by winning that are useful for scams? I thought snipping is just to increase chances of winning an auction out from under other...

Is pepper spray / mace available in your country? It would seem to be a better solution. Large canisters have decent range, provides a lasting effect, no permanent damage / no risk of prosecution or civil suit.

*EDIT* Nevermind.. :undecided: I was way too slow in posting. RHD answered directly. If they are bare 9mm diodes then I believe they have not passed through RHD's hands & would just be untested Huurersciences diodes. Ones that RHD found to be reliable where pressed into custom 9mm Aixiz clone...
