As laser hobbyists/enthusiasts we could voice our opinions pretty well. What we might have trouble with is funding, people like "Jayrob, Yobresal, Ehgemus, Mohrenberg et. al." don't have the money to take time out of their day to fight for our rights. However, the people that do have money and...

I think DOA means "Dead on arrival", as in arrived in the mail but doesn't work. Your description still works though.

I think he might be referring to your "Many DIY red, blu-ray, and green builds... (now 445!)"

Doubt it, he doesn't seem like the best seller lol. Did anyone else notice the pictures in the OP's post were taken with a cheap cell phone camera? The shiny effect thing was super professional lol In all seriousness I hope he did reply, the hosts look like they're pretty good quality. Wouldn't...

Why would they not embrace pointers? They may not now, but with some carefully worded emails/phone calls from some members here... maybe they would? They're even promoting the Arctic right on their website right now, so they must have some consideration for pointers/hobbyists. Everyone who joins...

Yea I found that too, but I already have like three or four on my desk lol.

Yea I'd probably be in for one but I'm not paying $60 lol. And $20 is too cheap, I doubt you can get that kind of a price on it. I'd try and find the Chinese manufacturer like Mohrenberg said. Maybe we can get DX, Focalprice, etc. to stock it lol.

Does anyone have an empty GGW 6X sled laying around? I'll buy the sled, or just the little glass piece used in this tutorial for a few bucks. Or I can trade you a PHR sled. Respond, PM, or Email me, thanks!

Does anyone know how the HAM radio operators or the rocket hobbyists got their interest heard by the government? I know that you can send letters to your congress representative but that makes more of a difference when a bill is being discussed. As of now, there are no bills in the work to...

Bitchin!! I will definitely make this build in the future. Is there a host that takes 18650's? That would be the ideal host.

@Ben Yea its never coming back lol. It's kind of ugly too, so I don't know if I would have bought it. @Mohrenberg Yea I figured it would be a shitty host because of the focusing thing. I just liked those fin things. This thing has a few fins, although they're so small I doubt they do anything...

Well it's not so much the tripod I don't like, its that threaded hole that it creates in the host. I can see how the tripod could be useful though.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what exactly a pill is. I thought it was thing that holds the battery in place and allows you to put a driver in easier. If it's not can you tell me what a pill is? Or better yet can you show me a picture :)

Does anyone know if this empty host has a pill in it? I'd get it if I knew it had one. DX has one of these in a prebuilt flashlight but it's twice as much.

Re: denton808 sale (a little pic heavy) If I didn't have to buy three things, I'd take that Cree host and heatsink in an instant! If sales slow down and your change your mind about the three-item rule, please let me know!
