May have to use adhesive with aluminum and brass, they don't like solder unfortunately.

Good luck and can't wait to see your first build!

Can you have someone make you a template with the correct size and positioning with metal, then beam size would be less of an issue, saving you a lot of money? Just having to clean any residue that may collect in the holes.

Come on in!

Who's going to be the first to build a 156 watt monster?!?

If you care about the diameter of the beam more than power. Then G8 or 3 element.and yes that housing will fit. Not sure on the driver at the moment.

Great teardown! Now put it in a handheld. 💪

I am extremely impressed, great job!

So you need to isolate your diode from the casing of the host? Can you do case positive instead of case negative?

I think he meant he had 5.6mm modules for sale. There's no filament that would have enough thermal conductivity for a diode to transfer heat fast enough. Well, there may be but I wouldn't want to know the price. I can trade you a 5.6mm for a 9mm but for the price of 2 way shipping I would just...

As good as frys?

Oh that is so cool!

Can't wait to see!

From climate change induced heart attacks of course!
