Interesting design. You might have some luck if you pop out the star and then put small pliers in the holes where the leads came through to get to the diode star. That might give you a place to grip if it is part of the pill. Make sure that when you remove the driver that came in the C8 that you...

Hmm, I forgot about the Vf changing on the load's diodes. My load gives a Vf of 6V on jumper 7 at 425mA. I mostly use M140s of which jumper 4 nicely matches their Vf over a good range of current so I rarely move it and forgot about the Vf changes :P Also, the Vf seems to drop drastically the...

We pretty much know the Vf of the S06J to be 6V at that current though. For testing any driver I use an input voltage on the driver that will simulate the voltage it will receive in the final build(otherwise why test it). So if you use an X-Drive give it ~8.2V(red diodes can be an exception) to...

The Vf of the S06J at ~425mA would be about 6V. That means that jumper 6 should work. In the future you could have found that out quite easy with the search function. Don't forget to use that bro.

An S06J is typically best off set to a max of 400-450mA. For your multimeter it depends on what you have but you want to be closest to what you will be measuring. The test load is 1A/V so set to whatever resolution that will show you ~425mV(or whatever your driver is supposed to run at) the best.

Sent $20 instead of $10 :D

Ah, a FlaminPyro laser ha. That guy is an artist when it comes to heatsink making. Some of my favorite lasers use heatsinks made by him. Typically though, if you catch a builder who has everything stocked you can have a laser made in days or you can buy a laser that is already made. They are...

As EpicHam mentioned earlier copper can be anodized like aluminum. Though I don't know how that effects its physical properties. I suspect its not all that drastic since its rarely done. I propose instead we gold plate our copper heatsinks haha. If someone can locate an affordable means to do this.

A 500mW 405nm laser would work but, a soldering iron would be cheaper, easier, and safer. You could grab a small infrared thermometer to monitor the temperature of components as well. Also, I'm sure you want to heat the components up to a lot more than 100F, that's just barely warmer than your...

I go for performance when its needed mostly. Like, I will not build a 9mm 445nm laser without copper unless it has a freaking MONSTER heatsink. I do however build aluminum heatsink M140s and still attain some respectable duty cycles. The more you lean towards appearance the more carefully you...

They do discolor pretty damn fast. I actually notice discoloration even faster than that the more often the surface is touched. The salts and everything else on your hands wreak havoc on the copper. Again Ham, we are talking about the visual side of corrosion... copper looks like crap quick...

OI! Then you are saying your whole statement (said several times) that our aluminum heatsinks corrode faster is irrelevant? Who cares about corrosion you cannot see when it comes to talking about a positive of aluminum being that it doesn't look bad as quickly. Ur giving me a headache :/...

I have indeed. The concentration of beautiful females is as refreshing as ever.

Here is the thing, saying it "corrodes faster" is massively subjective. It depends drastically how you define "faster". Aluminum will quickly form a thin oxidized layer on the very surface that is barely visible. That layer acts as a sort of barrier preventing further corrosion. The layer tends...

Just wasted 2 minutes and 19 seconds of my life... meh

I would drop that beauty in a polished minisabre v2 just like my PL520.

The variances in the same hosts and heatsinks that work in both cause a large amount of error alone. Using different hosts entirely makes it next to impossible to compare them. You would need to calculate host heat dissipation capabilities, heatsink volume, and heatsink to host heat transfer...
