My flash paper arrived today. Took two full months by my estimates. Can't find the thread on the subject of lazerer and my post about my original order date and the hassle. Did that thread disappear/get deleted? Anyways, let's at least acknowledge that customs CAN be a bi@ch.

Cyparagon, Clearly. (said with a Thurston Howell, rich accent) By the way. Does putting up a smile face and a beer make your unsolicited sarcasm okay? Your first and only chime in is this? It's no wonder so many noobs just lurk. So as not to engage the superior individuals on this forum...for...

So, the other day I decided to remove the lens and reflector from the end of the host. I don't plan to use this part just wanted to get it gutted in case. So, anyways, before realizing that the end of the host actually unscrewed (yeah, total noob) to allow removal of the lens and reflector I...

I get a diode with the driver already soldered up. I saw several options with heatsink ready to go but for some reason I just didn't want my first build to look like either a) so many others I see. b) like, well, a flashlight. Currently I'm working on a custom heatsink with active cooling...

Hey Guys, Hope everyone had a great Christmas. My wife and I moved to another location in Sin City. Crazy week. Managed to get some time to pound through this host. Turns out there was no retainer at the top - it was in the middle under the screw sleeve that opens for charging - and woops, the...

HakZaw, Yeah the hook is TOO set. I don't ever get into anything halfway. Give me a few months and I'll have one of those cool auto signatures with a few lasers. Guessing most will be blue - except the from the air laser! You are on my wavelength, A lot of desert out here in Vegas, planning to...

Zeebit, I didn't think about the brushless factor. Thanks. The blades, I do sorta' understand. LivinLoud, where is the like button for your post? Ha. DJ, as you know Manila is a stop for any trip to PH. I'm actually working on a deal to hopefully deliver a plane to a resort there in early...

Is the fan pushing or pulling? Not sure how much heat the drivers and other electronics create, but I'm guessing not as much as the diode. If the fan is pushing, reverse the polarity and get it to pull clean air from the front of the laser. See how those duty cycles compare. Just a thought in...

Hey Zeebit and LivinLoud, Thanks for the replies. I'm going to try the screws at the bottom, but not sure if that will help remove the press to fit sink for the LED Diode. Will try. Thought someone might say stick two so and so's into those holes and take a such and such and unscrew...

Hey HakZaw, Thanks for the encouragement. Might still make it as a host, I haven't given up yet. Yeah, in a couple of weeks of Lurkin'-and-Searchin' I got a fairly good bead on what to buy and from whom. The main problem here, I just don't know what I am doing! LOL! I bought my diode and...

I wonder if a black plastic stand-up extension tube for a shop vac would be the right size for the external sleeve? Questions, can you hear the fan? I know it might sound a little silly, but I've been thinking about some sort of sound effect when the rig fires up. Blue and orange might look...

Orion, Thanks for the welcome. And tips. Didn't realize that blaster was based on the C-96. Google image search shows cool results. Thanks! Glad you like my avatar. I love playing in the snow (when not in Vegas of course) Empire Strikes Back has always been my favorite episode. HakZaw, Thanks...

So, in true rookie form I have selected a host cause it: A. Looked cool and B. Was readily available for purchase locally. Turns out, when hooking my diode to the wires at the top of the host, I get a whimper of a 445nm M model. When hooked directly to the battery (chill driver is inline...

Even after a year since giving up facebook (new years resolution 2013) I find myself looking for the "like" button on this post. I've kept an eye on this build. Nice job. What color of spray paint are you going to finish it off with? Merry Christmas!:beer:

Greenlander, LivinLoud, TMack, Thanks for the welcome you guys. To the post office to pick up my 445nm!

Hey Tmac. My name is Tom. I'm new to the forum. http://laserpointerforums.com/f37/hello-members-lpf-my-first-build-86930.html I bought an Ozark Trails light with the two 18650's. I was told you are working on the same host for a build? How is it going? I'm thinking about swapping the batteries...

LOL! Yeah, it might be one of those bomb things. Before it goes together, I'm planning a trip to fry's for better batteries. Is it just the batteries or the built in charger too?

Well, I don't want to feed the fire with any arguments - just provide my current experience as it evolves. On 12.19.13 I ordered black flash paper. A bit later, early 12.20.13 (like late at night after 12pm my time) I received an email that my order was received, etc. I noticed the +44 phone...

Got it....but now I'm wondering why my avatar photo is not showing up? Now i got it! Haha!

A big hello to everyone here! I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Thomas. I split my time between Las Vegas and Anchorage. I am a pilot - and here to take revenge! Just kidding! But the former is true. For a couple of weeks now I have been lurkin' - and - searchin'. Yes, a "NOOB" found the...
