awesome! it's good to hear that this won't be the most hardcore of laser surgeries to perform. Mine has enough solder in the way to prevent tapping :( Do you happen to remember the measurements of what the diode is? I'll probably be able to get my hands on a soldering iron tomorrow but I wanna...

I just recently received an Arcane 2.0 after the typical scifi laser shipping and while I ordered a 7W, I actually got a laser that is around 1.5W or so. I was advised to take the driver out and replace it with one from DTR's shop. my questions are, 1) How do you take out the driver from this...

http://youtu.be/Z91_4Si26_Y I just checked in that hole on the side of the heat sink and inside there is only a smooth surface. I'm feeling like he soldered the bottom part of the module to the heat sink but I'm nowhere near sure on this. I couldn't get my camera to cooperate and focus inside...

Follow up post! I just got the host from Sta (thanks again man!) and it was a perfect fit! While the housing worked perfectly, I'm thinking that the laser diode I got from Etian is not 7w... I put it aside my 1.5w Arctic and they were the exact same brightness and had the same burning power and...

PMed you! :thanks:

That sounds awesome! I'm going to see if I can get the measurements today. Is there anything else spec. wise you'll need to know? I know it takes two 18350's and its negative side to tail cap but I don't know if that's TMI lol. thanks!

Yes, it definitely looks like it. I didn't get to get a pic of inside the black cylinder but the only other thing in there is the on off switch. It also looks like he had it set up to where you can mix and match the diode/sink/driver assembly between the same housings.

Sorry for the delay I made the post at school and had to get home to get pictures of the diode. The copper looking piece is the arcane 2.0 diode and the silver one next to it for reference is a 700mw 501B also by scifi lasers. I'm showing that one as well since someone asked if it came with a...

A long time ago I ordered a 7.0w 445nm laser from scifi lasers in two pieces and long story short I only got the diode and no housing. From the looks of it and all the drama going on I don't think I'll be getting it at all and was wondering what you guys would recommend for finding/making a host...

6-8 week wait times from what I've seen are for the whole process of preparing, shipping to arrival. wish there was a way of figuring out when the slow shipping months were so we could order around it. some people on this site have said they got theirs prepared and delivered within 2-3 weeks :(

I also ordered a 700mw green from SciFi around June and it took about 1 1/2 months to get in. he sent me a tracking after 3 weeks and emailed me shortly after saying he gave me the wrong one. That new tracking number took about 1 week to update. I'm feeling like Israel's postal service really...

Thought I'd post in here since I'm in a similar spot. I ordered a 6-7W 445nm on October 21st (with the two package shipping) and am in that tracking number limbo right now. literally waiting on pins and needles!
