Weird, I could have sworn I made a post in this thread...but I guess not. Anyway, question Jay. How much room is there from the bottom of the pill to the top of the host where the AixiZ module would stick out?

Re: Pointers for sale / 532, 405 6x 330mW, 4x & PH I can see that laser is going to be a hard bargain to get. -165mW 4x diode with adjustable focus, aixiz acrylic lens in brass lens nut - New bid: $110 Wannaburn, any chance you have some of these hosts lying around with the heatsink...

Possibly, although it could have been for both reasons. Extra long life, and for the possibility of burning. Although like you said, I can hardly imagine why they would want extra long diode life. Doesn't fit their MO. Although back when these drives were released...there wasn't even any...

I don't have any info on this, but I find it interesting that the diodes used on the X360 HD-DVD drives were/are so powerful. It seems Microsoft probably had plans to make this thing a burner at some point in time probably with a firmware update, But when Blu-Ray took the cake, their plans were...

Re: Pointers for sale / 532, 405 6x 330mW, 4x & PH I understand, its just good to know that I can mount whatever I want in there easily. :) New bid. -165mW 4x diode with adjustable focus, axiz acrylic lens in brass lens nut - $85

Re: Pointers for sale / 532, 405 6x 330mW, 4x & PH I have a question about the rominsen host lasers. Are these easy to disassemble and repair/modify if needed?

A little further testing on these shows they can push a ~5v violet diode. At 8.24volts from two lithiums and using the rkcstr test load setting to BLU, it started at 186mA and dropped to a steady 171mA as it warmed up. And lowering the volts considerably lowers the mA's. With 6.06volts it was...

I thinkyou can pull more than the rated mA out of them as you want, it just accelerates the use of the battery? For example, I have some 100mAh 10220 lithiums, and I can pull more than 100mAh from them..but they start losing voltage and dying very fast.

Re: DX 5mW red laser driver. Possible use for viol Come on, anybody? All I need to know is if its ok to use one of these drivers with a violet. Because maybe even if the mA is right and voltage..there is probably something else I am not aware of...I know some of you must have tried this? I...

Ok, that's what I thought. Thanks for the confirmation :)

I have a quick question for anybody willing to answer. Is the test load supposed to get warm when doing testing on drivers? Cause when I was testing my DX 5mW red laser driver which was running at 168~ mA at the time, I noticed afterwords it was a bit warm. I just want to make sure that is...

EDIT: Just to clarify so the thread doesnt get moved to the red laser section, this does have to do with violet lasers...its just a long read  ;D I have just recently started to get into the whole DIY stuff with violet lasers.  I must admit, its very interesting and a great learning...

Alright sorry for the double post, and being kind of off topic here (didn't want to make a new thread for this) but I just tested one of those DX drivers and the little thing is putting out 110mA with a 3.91V source (single lithium rechargeable). I wasn't expecting that, why is it so high...

Well, $80 shipped is $20 more than a 6x was. Almost seems like its more worth to wait for the 8x to drop price. I mean if a 8x inside a working drive is $200, then the sled would easily be half that price, if not the same as one of these.

Re: FS: 225mw br laser $125.00 Nice, that is a pretty efficient diode.  I think for the most part the 6x's were basically 1 mA = 1mW at about that same range right?

Re: FS: 225mw br laser $125.00 Jake, is your diode truly putting out 226mW with a acrylic lens @ 180mA? I am thinking you may want to fix the numbers, cause I bet those #'s were from the glass lens right?

Re: FS: Hi Power AR Lens - 25-30% Increase vs. Aix So how is the 'splash' with these lenses? Same as Jayrobs?

I am going to test the current on one of those DX drivers when I am at work tomorrow. I'm suspecting they are pushing less than 10mA, which would explain why they wouldn't work with these diodes. BTW Dave, payment sent. Thanks again for holding.

Re: Micro-Drive laser driver *NOW ADJUSTABLE* Yeah, I just tried with 5.72 volts and got a reading of .138 :) I got it now, thanks!

Re: Micro-Drive laser driver *NOW ADJUSTABLE* Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you at all, I am just clueless about this sort of thing. I have zero experience in this feild, and sometimes I over analyze and confuse myself even further. I read up as much as I could before asking those questions...
