The manufacturers will appreciate it! :whistle: Cheers brunes01

Hi! Welcome to the forum! Rick Trent has some high power builds and also offers complete kits (without diode)! Cheers brunes01

Hi! So I will have to solder the negative wire to the edge and the positive wire to the center. PS: Sorry for changing the title once again, but now I think nobody will take this thread for an actual "building thread" like jander 6442! Cheers brunes01

Re: < 5mW 532 nm green laserpointer Hi! Of course I wouldn`t want to harm one of my cats. But I think it is really under 5mW the beam is nearly invisible in a lightened room, unless I have smoked a few cigarettes before! :whistle: The seller claimed in the description on ebay, that it has...

Re: 9mm 445nm 2,1A x-drive in SL SS host build Hi! @ jander6442 Yeah it`s a long way to the top! :D In this thread it`s not all about this one build, there were several general discussions going on about hosts, heatsinks, heatsinking drivers, the driver itself, the diode module, duty cycles...

Re: 9mm 445nm 2,1A x-drive in SL SS host build Hi! Hm, I was thinking of soldering the wires coming from the diode to the wires coming from the contact board, just like it is described in Garys links a few posts above! Do you think it would be better not to solder wire to wire? Cheers brunes01

Hi! Here`s a little review of my recently purchased < 5mW 532 nm green laserpointer! I purchased it here in Austria, therefore it should have < 1mW/Class 2 and so it was described on ebay and their website! link: Laserworld - Pocketlaserpointer grün 1mW mit Dauerschalter Description is...

Re: 9mm 445nm 2,1A x-drive in SL SS host build Hi guys! Waiting for the pcb contact board is kinda hard! :) I hope it will arrive next week so I can get started next weekend! By the way I will need to get some heat shrinks and would like to know, if I should use some thermal compund between...

Hi! I will have my first high power laser soon and must confess I wasn`t aware what saftey requirements will be nessecary to operate one of those! But thanks to the forum I have read a lot about lasers and safety and now I feel very comfortable with my Eagle pairs I have ordered with the host...

Hi! My build will be very similar to yours! Diode module from DTR and SL SS host as well! I was told the Panasonic NCR18650B 3400 mAh would be the best choice! I got protected ones. Cheers brunes01

Re: 9mm 445nm 2,1A x-drive in SL SS host build Hi! Thanks to both of you! The instruction are very helpful and I found out myself, that the heatsink will not move with the housing when the front ring is not assembled, just before reading your posts! So I will leave the housing on the back of...

Re: 9mm 445nm 2,1A x-drive in SL SS host build Hi! That are some very good arguments for not using a quick connection as planned! And when the metal sleeve will not be used in the build I will take it off. So what`s the best way to get all the unused stuff off of the pcb board? And last...

Hi again! Latest news. In this case, to have the quick connection before the driver, is less dangerous for your diode! ApexProxy told me the driver will safe the diode! But he also suggested that it`s not a good idea to open and take the modul out frequently! So I think I will also not go...

Re: 9mm 445nm 2,1A x-drive in SL SS host build Hi! Could the diode pins be damaged by just taking the module out of the heatsink? Or do you mean the pins could take damage when unconnecting it by physical force? Would not rather be the soldered connection on the driver board be in danger...

As far as I noticed the pbc board will be hold there with the brass ring that came with the host! The board will be pressed in the ring, and then the ring itself inside the pill. That should work with both the drilled out and the original pill! BTW I was just told that a quick connection...

Re: 9mm 445nm 2,1A x-drive in SL SS host build Hi! Will that really kill the diode? I thought in case it will loose connection, it would just be like you turn it off! My intend was to have a quick connectio/disconnection to use the modul either in the host or in a labby/bench style heatsink...

Hi there! I`m also waiting for the pbc contact board, all other items have arrived! And I have also exactly the same setup like both of you! :D I even have ordered some connections that should arrive soon, but I don`t really know if one of them will fit! In case they will not fit, there...

Re: 9mm 445nm 2,1A x-drive in SL SS host build Hi! Ok I see! But that gap will be very little, so no way the wires will find place in there! I would like to have a quick connection in my build just like in this thread: http://laserpointerforums.com/f65/first-build-2-5w-handheld-79265.html...

Hi brianpe! I had in mind just like you, to have a quick connect/disconnect option in my build! So did you just drill out the part of the driver pill with the 2 holes in it? And can really both wires be stored inside the tiny space of the driver pill then, when connected? Cheers brunes01

Re: 9mm 445nm 2,1A x-drive in SL SS host build Hi all! Host and goggles have arrived! But I have serious concerns if everything will fit! I think the battery contact board will go in here. Is that right? And I guess it will look like this when it`s installed with 2 wires coming out...
