    Any good sources of 12mm boost (aaa host) pill drivers that can do 1-2a.

    Got them downaloaded, thanks for the links! Considering how..... irritating cramming a 10x20mm driver (filed down to be smaller) along with a diode, module into a grinded out AAA flashlgiht is, I'm reconsidering going back to the bigger 18650 units. Especially since I scored 8x nubm 08 for $69...

    Any good sources of 12mm boost (aaa host) pill drivers that can do 1-2a.

    When I get paid next week (damn aliexpress 11.11 sales....) Il'll be looking at grabbing some of the 1.4+w (if you bin the drivers) since I have a small handful of hosts on the way/already here that take a single 10660, and possibly enquiring about 15-17mm drivers for some nubm08s (scored a...

    Any fun uses for old coil-on-plug ignition coils?

    A bit late but comapred to an oil filled cannister style, they're qutie underwheming. I've at best got a 1in light spark out of one but I was also trying to trigger it the old fashioned way instead of trying to blast it with a zvs driver.

    Laser tragedies: Share your story

    Not to thead necro but, shamefully I've killed (probably that is) 2 nubm 44v2's which just hurts my heart. The first one was from dicking around using far too thick of heat shrink with one of DTR's copper shift 20-22mm modules since the hole forthe wires is quite small. Twisted a pin off, no...

    Any good sources of 12mm boost (aaa host) pill drivers that can do 1-2a.

    Got a couple of super mini 445s I want to build but I won't have the room for the standard super x or Astral driver. I can find a ton of 16mm+ pill drivers but nothing that is 12mm or under.

    Handheld Co2 Laser Project

    Oh it was a total steal, Amazon Warehouse is amazing for that. Works great, press test button and something (that isnt what I was aiming for) catches fire. Hell, I built a turbo s10 with nothing but roughly $300 in parts purely through the warehouse section, 17 psi on a bone stock 4.3l makes it...

    Sale thread/ Hosts/Heat Sinks/Focus adapters/lasers

    Scrolled the last few pages to hopefully avoid a dumb question, but I'll throw it out there anyway. Is this the only host you have that could be bored out to hold a DTR 20mm copper module? Figured I should get on putting it in a host ASAP due to having a quarter second lapse of judgement and...

    Handheld Co2 Laser Project

    You are absolutely mental, and I love it. Can't wait to see it works out, just always keep in mind that items that normally are nonconductive can be strangely conductive when multiple kilovolts are involved. If I hadn't already purchased all of the v channel extrusions, timing belts, etc to...

    FS Aurora Cree C6 1w 445nm sold

    Re: FS Aurora Cree C6 1w 445nm (same as yob or survival laser) plus glasses 130obo Here are some beamshots. Beware the quality of a cellphone camera! No fog was used in any shots, the first few are from a snow storm a few months back. The green around the focus ring is a ghetto focus ring made...

    FS Aurora Cree C6 1w 445nm sold

    Well I have one of these handy dandy 1w cree host 445 lasers. It uses the famous 445nm diode from a certain projector along with a buck driver. Ive had it for a few months now but its always put up and never getting used so I figured someone else could use it more than I do. Plus after some jerk...

    Super Beast Green

    Well usually birds freak out when a green laser is shined around them, no need for something to irritate its skin (which you wont be able to, it has feathers blocking its skin).

    Survival Laser Battery Extension Tube Now Available

    Well in that case I might have to order one in a few weeks. Also I noticed that unitednuclear was carrying your lasers which is badass, I love that site.

    Survival Laser Battery Extension Tube Now Available

    Good lord almost $30 for that, I would love to get one but I cant justify a $30 extension tube. Im sure you had to find someone to make em since DX doesnt have any, maybe one day if I have some extra money burning a hole in my pocket.

    Super Beast Green

    Jeeze, I just got paid and the $40 (or less for LPF) is very tempting for that 140-160.

    Powering lm317 driver with a 12v 1a wallwort?

    Yeah it seems that the lm317 works best with "battery voltages" like 7.4v. Also much less of a voltage spike at startup too.

    Super Beast Green

    They tend to warm up within a few mins of being indoors. If you try too soon it just has an IR dot or very weak green, kinda cool to watch it get brighter and brighter as it warms up.
