Let me put it this way; if you're an experienced BS'er, you don't have to be a pro at lasers. I'm used to modding Nerf guns and building cosplay props from scratch without any plans, so it's not hard for me to push through a project and make it work. But if you're not used to all the grinding...

LOL. I remember that, it was just a few days ago. I had the same feel of familiarity, the "I'M 12 AND MAKIN' MONEH ON EBAY" writing really had that air about it. I laughed then, and I laughed now.

Something seems a bit off there... :thinking: I guess I'll just go watch videos on youtub until I figure it out :D

I decided to see what I had sitting around, and just hacked one together myself. I did a vague tutorial write-up for anyone else, it's at http://laserpointerforums.com/f51/how-add-key-switch-c6-host-70975.html#post1023019

Hey LPF, I'm here with my first ever tutorial for you guys! WHOO! I was working on getting my Aurora C6 host set up and ready for the finishing touches (i.e. Diode), when it struck me that I wanted something unique and awesome on this host. A key switch. Safety issues aside, key switches are...

I see. Most of the ones I'm finding that are NARROW enough (~.75 in) are still at least a full inch long. I guess I'll just have to order a few, find some replacement C6 tailcaps, and get to work with the Dremel until I get something that works. I'll have to let you guys know if I pull it off...

EDIT: I buckled down and made one myself! It's over here ---> [How To] Add key switch to C6 host Hey guys, I'm in the process of putting together a 405 that's going to put out (I hope) 500-600mw, and I'd like to add a key switch to my C6 host, preferably in the tail cap, for safety, and because...

ehyup. My package is on it's way to Scarborough as well. Left LA... and just disappeared.

Ordered, payment sent! Looking forward to slapping this in one of Mohrenberg's C6 kits, gonna run it at 428mA and see what happens! :beer: EDIT: Got it today, looks excellent!

That's something I wonder too. Does Hong Kong post/Singapore Post do so much more business than we do that they can charge that much less? I mean it's probable, but still. You'd think they'd capitalize on that.

So, I called USPS, got on hold for 20 minutes, and got an answer: SOME shipments get what are called "COURTESY SCANS". They occur only when a worker has to only exert 1% more effort to scan your package, and are a luck-of-the-draw thing. Larger shipments (I.E. Large Flat Rate Boxes) are more...

The concerning part is that I sent something not too long ago via Priority mail to Canada, and it was tracked the whole way, even it's stops in Canada. I guess you could say I'm extra upset since this is keeping my hands off a new 1W 445. Mostly, I just want members to be aware not to expect...

I was recently engaged in a trade which required me to send a package to Canada. Since the item was small, I decided to use a Priority Mail Flat Rate Small box, since it was supposed to be $12 for a tracked package internationally in 6-10 days. What it TURNED out to be was a small box that...

I should have clarified; donating does NOT remove ads. I just did it because I want to support LPF but not see ads. I used adblock plus in Chrome, and my mobile devices are rooted, so I use Adfree Android on those. If you're going to use on of these methods, please consider chipping in a few...

Good Lord. It's not that bad for me. I usually shut off adblock on pages I use frequently, but LPF is just a bit ridiculous. So I kicked in $5 and killed all the ads. ... Still gotta scroll over them when I'm on my tablet though.

This is as good of an answer as anyone will be able to give you. Determining the diode lifetime isn't an exact science, you have to estimate. The reason most users here aren't being helpful is because 1 watt is a lot of power. It's almost certainly too much power for a first real laser, and...

Edit: took too long typing this out, lol. The lifetime depends on the power. More powerful lasers will usually die sooner. If and when it does die, you will have to buy a new laser, or attempt to return it to the maker for repairs, or try and replace the diode yourself. I would recommend you...

I know what you mean! I've purchased thermal paste before which got a close inspection from my parents. It didn't help that it was the cheap stuff and was printed in Chinese! :D

I really have no idea. I was just speaking in terms of available current settings for these drivers.

I was looking at getting this one: 5.6mm diode housing w/red laser glass lens [OL1845-RL] - $6.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce
