Ow, you're right, my bad :yabbem: I calculated the price for 6 batteries and not 3 packs of 2... It's about these: $4.73 - TrustFire Protected 14500 3.7V 900mAh Lithium Batteries (2-Pack Blue) - Batteries After some inflation corrections, I'd like $12.- + sending costs for them.

I'd like $20,- and sending costs.

I've bought a new host and it only wields AAA batteries, so I want to sell 6x TrustFire 14500 AA batteries. I've only used them about 5 times and fried my laser diode... I'm doing it the right way now so that won't happen again.

The last time I ordered a PHR-803-T it costed me around 25 euro's (sending included). So the capacitor did fry the diode... now I know why. Is my 47uF diode big enough for the job? With this info my next build can't go wrong. *knock on wood* The ground of my current build is attached directly...

I've ordered a Mohrenberg Guidesman kit the other day and I'm going to rebuild my driver so the IC makes contact with the host, with a little heat guiding paste between it. Can't wait to get crackin'!

1. You're right. The potmeter starts letting more amps through at the end of the turns. 2. I'll rebuild the circuit with the diode in DDL's original designed spot. 3. And the LM317T gets pretty hot with 12V passing through it. 4. I want to buy one of Mohrenberg's beautifully crafted hosts with...

I haven't been using my Bluray laser sinds the diode blew up again at 100mA... (those suckers are expensive). What do you guys think of my circuit? And why do you think it blew again? I think it's safer to place the diode this way then parallel with the capacitor. And I've placed a risistor...

Yeah great review. I was clueless where to buy good CE certified goggles here in Europe. So thanks!

Hi all! I've found out about building and suping up lasers a couple a days ago and my interest was fed by this forum. And I hope I'll get all the help to have lot's of fun building lasers :D
