Wow, awesome builds. Do some matte FDE someday :)

Thanks, I ordered a pair of the protected Panasonic/Sanyo 18650s from Liionwholesale. How come it's been said to steer clear of Surefire (I can understand why to avoid Ultrafire...) batteries? From what I understand they are a quasi-defense contractor that provides equipment to military and LE

I just got a Surefire M600DF Scout light and it comes with a protected Surefire brand 18650 battery. I've also got an Olight S2R Baton II which came with an unprotected Olight brand battery. I've read a few times before that these brands produce substandard batteries, and have already got a pair...

On a related note, how do manufacturers ensure that the laser diodes are not destroyed by the muzzle blast? I've always wondered that, especially since my DIY lasers get crap all over the diode windows and eventually just get destroyed. Are diodes inherently fragile or is it a protective...

All of their heat sinks fit the same size modules, except the builds which use the 20mm module adapter, in which case the module itself acts as the heat sink. You wont find any heat sinks for non-12mm modules on their site.

It's right on the SL website my friend! Did you read the parts description for what you ordered?

The SL-CHS3 is sized to fit a 12mm diameter standard diode module and includes a 3-48 set screw (installed) and a 0.050" Allen wrench. Also fits other Aurora C6 18650 hosts.

I dont mind doing the MO and I’ve just emailed hak my order. Going with the 465nm 1.4W Mini w/beam expander. Hopefully some more people jump onboard so we can get this done!

A lot of these companies have been stealing styropyro's content (pics and vids) in order to sell their product. Pretty reprehensible

Haven't gotten any PM yet, try resending it?

Can we paypal directly to you? If not a MO will work

Hi hak, Interested in a PL-E Mini at either 1.6W 465nm or 5W 445nm, still have to decide. Will send PM and email as well. Thanks

Please read the threads about laser safety as well as the linked resources... no, you're not going to use protection at night outdoors with a 30mW green laser but you're making a thread about 7 watts. You need eye protection for that or damage is definitely going to happen no matter what. It can...

You will need eye protection no matter what. Those people on youtube are endangering themselves, anybody in their vicinity, as well as their viewers inadvertently. Hope that helps too.

Crosman has a full auto .177 I was looking at the other day actually. Right now as far as airguns go I've still got my Red Ryder. Speaking of which, great gift idea for OP too

Beastly expensive, probably...

Looks amazing. One day when I decide to get a NUBM44 something like this would be ideal

The diode window can not be cleaned, whatever dust gets on there will get burned on permanently. For external optics, you can use some compressed air/keyboard cleaner and a lens cloth with a bit of alcohol.

Agreed, the greens that anybody could build on their own far outclass any of the various common green lasers on the market not only in terms of the diodes you can use but also, like you said, the importance of a copper/aluminum heat sink with preferably as much mass as possible for the given...

Battery extension tube from SL installed... High quality Samsung cells selected and charged... The spot size at 75 ft in broad daylight... This thing is truly magic!!
