    FS: Custom machined laser hosts

    I'm in need of a custom machined host, and these hosts look really good, it might be a bit difficult to make so I'd like to message you about the details in private if possible.

    2w 445nm build (first build)

    The batteries have little buttons on the positive terminal that cant be taken off safely. furthermore, radioshack has a "no return' policy. They were $20 a set and i got 2 sets (so 4 batteries total).

    2w 445nm build (first build)

    I definitely want to build a bright green one now. My friends asked me to build them one but i told them "if you cant build it yourself then you shouldnt have it. It's not a toy." I just feel like anybody who cant build one doesnt know the safety concerns well enough.

    Thank you

    2w 445nm build (first build)

    furthermore, dont be an ass. He didnt listen to me so it hurt his vision, not my fault. Like i said 'do as i say not as i do' is cause he would have my safety glasses to wear and i wouldnt have any so i wasnt gonna look at what he was doing, but he didnt want to do that.

    2w 445nm build (first build)

    I have one pair of goggles, but he wouldnt take them. I was offering them to him and i wasnt gonna wear any, but i wasnt gonna look. Thats why i said 'not as i do' cause i wouldnt have had a pear to wear.

    2w 445nm build (first build)

    I offered him glasses but he wouldnt wear them. I only had one pair that why i said do as i say not as i do. Dont act like its my fault when i warned him. Yes it was in a moving vehicle, it was in traffic too, hence the reason i pointed it down to the floor so it wouldnt shine at anybody.

    2w 445nm build (first build)

    i got a little lazy on the picture taking cause i was too focused on putting it together. 2w 445nm diode in 12mm M140 module with X-Drive and G-2 Glass lens. Originally meant to power it with dual 18350's, but radioshack screwed me over. Purchased 18350s with button tops so i lost $40 and...

    Module w/ Driver v Seperate Driver w/ pill

    Yeah there was quite a communication gap, and you seemed to be able to identify that pretty well so thank you for that. I took your advice as well as someone elses but i ended up ordering a Copper C6 with extended and tapered heatsink and a pill with a battery contact board installed. I had no...

    Module w/ Driver v Seperate Driver w/ pill

    So my plan was to use an M140 with an X-Drive preinstalled in a C6. That way i didnt have to use a driver board.

    18650 or 2 RCR123A Batteries?

    Sweet thanks ill give those a try

    18650 or 2 RCR123A Batteries?

    Thank you for letting me know. I actually wasnt aware the X-Drive couldnt be powered with a single 18650.

    18650 or 2 RCR123A Batteries?

    No i asked about the driver. Thought i should make it a seperate thread in case anybody else needed to know, couldnt find anything on it.

    18650 or 2 RCR123A Batteries?

    So i have a 2w 445nm M140 Module with an X-Drive preinstalled and a C6 Copper host, and i know i can run the laser off either a single 18650 or 2 RCR123A batteries. I know using 2 RCR123A batts will output more volts than the single 18650, and i definitely want to use my laser to its fullest...

    Module w/ Driver v Seperate Driver w/ pill

    Its not the module itself im worried about. Im worried about how well it would heatsink inside a C6 host. Because i bout a driver preattached im not sure if the C6 will fit the entire module with proper heatsinking. So if i need to buy a seperate driver and pill to have proper heatsinking then...

    Module w/ Driver v Seperate Driver w/ pill

    I bought an M140 with a 1.8A X-Drive preattached, so i did not purchase a seperate driver that could fit into a pill. Thats what im worried about now that i already made my purchase. I didnt think about the heatsinking of the complete module versus getting a module with a seperate driver that...

    Module w/ Driver v Seperate Driver w/ pill

    I will definitely take pictures, as well as a video of me building the laser. Ill post everything when i get all the parts in. ive been putting this off for 6 years so i figured its finally time to do it.

    Module w/ Driver v Seperate Driver w/ pill

    Well i know the module has a heatsink for the driver, i was more worried that if it was trapped inside a host that it would overheat due to the host trapping. I figured the host wouldnt have a heatsink that sits over the whole module including the driver heatsink. Therefore i figured i would...

    Module w/ Driver v Seperate Driver w/ pill

    I recently purchased a 2w 445nm diode pressed into an M140 module with a preattached X-Drive with a G2 Glass lens. For the module i bought a C6 copper host from survival lasers. I'm beginning to wonder if i should have got the module without the X-Drive and got a seperate 1.8A driver and pill...
