Re: A guide to mounting a diode into an aixiz hous
You're doing good work here. ;D
But as I said in case you missed it.
Take the "bottom" of the module. (AKA the part that comes off)
Turn it around.
Stick the diode between the module halves so the pins are though the bottom half.
Stick it in a...

I reverse the bottom half of the module so the pins are going through the hole, put it in a table vice and close it. Presses it in nice and tight and keeps it strait. :)

Double post! ;D Good stuff though. One of many ways to do this too! So don't feel bad if this way doesn't work for you. ;)
Re: A guide to mounting a diode into an aixiz hous
Well that's one way to do it! I prefer a different way but what ever works! I am sure this will help many. :)
I only have a cheapo Kodak EasyShare V530 and I have:

0.7 Sec

and

So make sure you mess with all the settings and see if you check the manual if you have one. It also has

Hmmm, swap diodes and make an easy scanner. Maybe even scan products from a mile away! ;D ;D
But for serious now, they have them at Electronic Goldmine for $19.95. 8-)

Yeah the difference between 5 and 10mW won't be too noticeable but between 5 and 30 you can really tell! Then again I got a True 5mW that peaked at 15.3mW! ;D ;D
The DX lasers DO have IR filters in the pen style lasers! The quality of them isn't the best though and you can always add one. But the black dot in someone's vision would be from the green light since it's focused. Where as the IR has a very high divergence rate so it wouldn't cause that. I've...
The 5mW will create a decent beam at night. I would say go for the True 30mW though. I have both and there is a noticeable difference between the brightness of the two. And the amount of IR leaked shouldn't really be too much of a problem as long and you're not real close to the aperture.
Probably the "easiest" way to do this would be to just open it where it normally allows you to. Get some other supply of ~3V and use alligator clips to supply power. One on the spring for negative and one on the case for positive. Then just use something like a zip tie to hold the button down.
I have plenty more of this foam and I still have the original insert to work with. I don't know if I will really be able to fit all five in there though, probably just widen one of those spots and leave one of the DX lasers out. But I hope everything goes well when you're working on it. :)
Re: How should I set up my Pelican 1150 Case?
Well I can get my green laser to pop them no problem so I'm sure a DIY will have no issues to pop them at all!
Besides that I finished up the top rack so here are two more pictures!
On a side note, if anyone is interested in some of this foam for...
