It's been way too long since I have been here. Had to drop the hobby all together some 5 years ago due to personal life, and digging through my storage unit found some of my old toys. Holy hell I've missed a lot, there are so many new diodes?? 7W in a handheld? WTF.

Hey guys, I'm ordering 60 sq inches of pcb, but if I order 155 square inches it drops to about $1 per square inch. I wanted to offer you guys the chance to get in on some cheap pcbs, and if this goes well, maybe I will keep doing these. The board house I will be ordering from is very well known...

Progress has been coming along great with my soon to be offered laser kit. Up for sale I have the first two prototypes. These lasers are sweet. My custom driver hasn't been finished being made yet, so I used flex drives for these. Both of them have flex drives heatsinked to the pill :) They...

Long story short, found something on CL that wont last long, and don't have the funds available to buy it. Selling a few things. #1 18650 200mW 532 SOLD LPMs at exactly 150mW and is completely stable there. Left it on for 5 mins and it fluctuated between 149mW and 151mW. #2 Brand new...

So guys, I've been planning to design my own driver for a while now and have been trying, but its really a pain. :banghead: Im not good with eagle, and don't really understand how to read datasheets. Im looking for somebody to really help me design this driver, and in return, I'll send you a...

Hi everybody, I've been planning to sell a few of the same lasers on here, in order to raise funds to open a website "shop" selling the laser as a "kit". Now I put kit in "" because, well, a caveman could put it together. The laser will use a host that is not popular around here, think I have...

I got my Kenometer today, plugged it in and the drivers successfully installed. Opened up luminosity but it days disconnected. In device manager it shows the Kenometer is working properly. Help? Edit: Figured it out. Never mind!

Hey all, I have noticed a lot of interest for people DIYing Ben boosts, and have looked into the price of components when bought in bulk. I'll post the prices and all components will be sold as a "set", meaning you cant buy 50 of one component and 5 of another. The kit will only include parts...

Hey guys, wondering if anybody has a c6 shell they would sell me cheap. I bought on and when I got it the metal on the retaining ring snapped :wtf: Anybody have one or know where to get one cheap from within the US? Heatsink not needed. Thanks.

Looking for advise here guys. I ordered a bunch of flashlights online through a Chinese seller that I have been talking to through skype. Paid via Paypal so I know I have a 45 day window to file a dispute. Here is what has happened so far: Placed order on 4/22 -They said they were low on stock...

I have a very nice high power laser for sale! It can be viewed here: http://laserpointerforums.com/f52/1-8a-ultrafire-c8-dual-flex-73512.html This build is very clean and uses a high power lens. $275 with the 405-G-2 $225 without it Thanks for looking!

Just got finished with another build! Probably the cleanest one yet. :evil: I used a couple flex drives I snatched off of Daguin. :tinfoil: I set them at ~900mA each and then used some arctic silver thermal adhesive and attached them to the Heatsink as seen in the following pic. My meter...

Im planning on machining a heatsink with a pressfit for a 17mm round pcb, but I don't know the exact size to make the pressfit. Can somebody with a caliper take a measurement of the diameter of one? Or better, if somebody has a flashlight that uses one, take a measurement of the inner...

Hello all! Finished my first two builds and it was FUN! :evil: Now I'm going to sell them to make some room for a bigger and better lasers :eg: Both lasers Laser #1- $120 Guidesman host with an M140 diode running off of a heatsinked linear 1.3A driver using a 445nm aixiz glass lens. Runs...

Hello guys. I am powering a 445 with a 1.3A jib drive I bought off a member here. I am using the case pin for the v- supply. The laser works, and it works well, but after about 15 seconds, the driver gets too hot to touch... Why is this? I have tested it with two different drivers. I am powering...

Looking for the host only. Don't really care what color, but preferably black or silver, not red. Let me know if you have any. Looking for at least 2.

Hey all, I am planning to make a maglite 445. But my maglite is taking for ever to arrive in the mail. I can't get the measurements until its here though. Does anybody have a maglite heatsink that could measure it and share the dimensions with me so I can get a head start? Thanks a lot.

Hi guys, my name is Joe, I've been lurking here for a few month after finding out about high power lasers via Youtube :D. I am really interested in learning more about lasers and electronics as a whole. I am a machinist so its nice to see some others of you around too. Im planning my first...
