Re: 2W Danefex build with Mrcrouse Host A sacrifice of smoke and earth. :D

Re: 2W Danefex build with Mrcrouse Host Mrcrouse M.O.D. pro's - 5 minute duty cycle - potential defense mechanism - pest elimination device - destroyer of cardboard tubes - aphrodisiac Mrcrouse M.O.D. cons - I don't have one yet.

Re: 1.9W 445nm SH-032 (New :) I got the ultrafire 4000mah 18650's and they suck :( I just use my Sanyo 18650 from WL. I've got 16340's and rcr123a that don't go to any of my lasers lol. I used to have a need for them but now I might just use them in my ophir lpm.

Hopefully one day well be able to afford them.

^^^^ you can get green diodes and your holding out on us? :tinfoil:

This was a good thread +rep for OP glad she survived!

It looks good, the only thing I can say is I've taken apart a 3 element to clean it and if you resort to that make sure you use a microfiber cloth or electronics cleaning pads for tv screens and whatnot. Also don't forget order of assembly. Edit: I guess use a more conservative duty cycle as...

Sooo.... she flies or no? Btw I don't think the tape would have worked (no offense shane) it just seems like a bad idea.

Like my pappy used to say "i think she's a done fer bubba."

I thought you tapped the window out and that was that. Did you go digging around in there afterwards?

Hey buddy, we all miss ya... I'm praying for you.

Well, that wasn't so bad now was it?

I've read that you can bend up the metal rim around the window with some fine nose pliers and the window should fall out. Otherwise buy the tools.^^^^ we all know what Bob vila says about having the right tool for the job....

Referring to post #3... Your skin isn't going to absorb a long wavelength such as 808nm, at least not at these outputs.... even a 1 watt 638nm won't burn the skin but cuts down anything dark colored. IR was a bad idea.

Dave had a good answer ^^^^ if a lense cloth and compressed air doesn't do it then you really don't have much of an option. - D.

He probably tried cleaning the window, didn't get everything off and turned it on baking the crud onto the diode window.

There's junk on the window, if you can't get it off removing the window is the only fix.

There's an artifact dead center in the diode window that the light passes through, I think that's what the spot in your photo is. I'm sure you could put the lense in a vacuum chamber to boil off the alcohol. If worse comes to worse you can remove the diode window. The debate continues on the...
