    Hah I did a double take at this threads name. This is pretty awesome I have to say.

    How much do good batteries matter?

    I want a good charger too, thats something I need to look into

    I like the sleeve idea. alot of people use a set screw. and I guess more use press-fit heatsinks and modules(sleeves) I think that would be more than enough if you press a sleeve into the heatsink somehow. I don't have any experience with this, I'm just regurgitating things I have read/seen on...

    Burnt thermopile, how bad is this?

    Actually no, the only thing that usually kills CPUs is overvolting.

    hah! thanks guys, just started this hobby :) my last hobby was overclocking

    Hah! Let us know how you thermally connect the diode module to the heat sink fins, this will be important for thermal transfer. What would be the best way to do it? Thermal glue+ slide module in hole?

    YEP! that seems about right 59.99$ BUT you can get a nice Binned m140 I think on this forum for cheaper. That way you know you're getting a diode that can hit 2W+, I think 445's are 49.99 here, which are usually guaranteed to hit 1.5-1.7 watts! hit up DTR and rhd. I can't remember who sells...

    this seems correct, also thank you electron and TJ for the info will do!

    Burnt thermopile, how bad is this?

    probably so, I would say it was fully focused, I just had the laser 8 inches away when it happened. it was completely focused at that distance.:yabbem:

    Burnt thermopile, how bad is this?

    Well, I put my 532nm on the LPM while it was slightly focused, I didnt realize it before it burnt some small lines on the surface of the sensor. How bad is this? the line is maybe .25" long. I'll post pics when I'm home from work. Thanks guys.

    this is very helpful, thanks rhd and everyone else here, I feel lost sometimes trying to find correct info :can:

    When do lasers produce "side" infra red?

    green lasers start with an 808nm infrared diode, and go through a crystal and doubled to 532nm, so infrared is there unless there is an IR filter

    Strikeforce/UFC/MMA Fans?

    Nice! I've never really watched Bellator fights. I have to start watching! :pop: I posted 3 good fights here (top two are the best) http://www.joeonline.me/wordpress/videos-2/mma-fight-videos-ufc-strikeforce-pride-k-1/

    Do we have any MMA fans here? Just wondering Nick Diaz vs Evangelista Santos - YouTube

    I've never seen or heard of doing that on a lab unit, sounds very feasible. you mentioned the 445 diode and a 473. I would go with the 445, you can push it up to 2W in some cases. Also a 473 is a DPSS unit and would not be a direct diode.

    Oooo nice, Let us know what you end up doing!

    Best LPM for the price

    What exactly do yOu mean when you say the sensor is vulnerable?
