2 Tiny 445nm builds in very small 10440 & 14500 host "Mini & Mini-Me"
Hey All,
:thanks: For Looking.!!!
Keep on Lazing.....
Hey All,
Mini & Mini-me 445nm Builds
Here are my latest 2 445nm builds. So these 2 host are suppose to be the "Smallest Hosts" for the type of battery they take in the "World".
Who knows but they are Super Tiny. Especially the 10440 one. I order these in the intention to make a matching set of 3 of each host Which i will be doing with A 405nm 12x ,635nm and 445nm which i just did."Ive been really into matching sets lately".
Ive never seen these hosts before so i bought them in the dark not knowing how small they really where. I was blown away in there size when they came in.
I have been using them as flashlights for the past month and a half and even gave a set of each away to a friend.
Even as flashlights these host where not meant to keep on for a long time. They get hot quick.
They are basically as thin as they can get before the metal is to thin where the walls would collapse. The hug the batter more or less. It was a challenge to build in these to say the least. But i love challenges and no host will get in my way to get a build in it.:gun:
Both the hosts are completely Stainless Steel. Even there clicky switch.:bowdown: If you dint know stainless steel hosts are my favorite.:drool:
With the 10440 host there was not alot of room if any room really so i made a Direct Press Fit Heatsink for it.:wave: the heat sink is ~2mm thick or thin i should say becuse its tiny.:crackup: Iam actually going to redo it when i get new smaller Copper Stock in as i only hve 1" and thicker. So for right now i made it out of Aluminum. I first had this build running at 800mW on the money with a 405-G-1 lens. However withing 10 second you would have to shut it off. Not much fun So I turned the currant way down to 400mW with a G1 lens. Now there is a 30-45 seconds ON Time and 1 minute off or less since there is not much metal to cool off. It cools down pretty quick. I made a Custom Focus Adapter which i think looks great. Makes everything complete since a regular Aixiz Focusing ring is too large anyway.
The 10440 laser is so small that i keep it in my pocket now. I never ever use to carry a laser out. But the size of this host to get a better idea is as thick as a King size cigarette.
The 14500 i had a little more build room as its about the same size as a F23 host just a little wider but not much. "See picture bellow" I was able to make a nice Copper Heatsink and Matching Custom Focus Adapter s the 10440 one. However iam going to have to trim it down some s i made it about 1/2 a millimeter to large and you can feel the difference between the host and the focus adapter. I decided to make this one more of a Beast and it is 1.3W with a 405-G-1 lens.
Duty cycle is the same as a the 10440 and the cool part is is i made it with modes. Custom boost drivers in both made by one of my friends that finally arrived to me and received them on Friday.:wave: "Thanks for the drivers buddy":bowdown:
Here some Picutres........

You can really see how small they are in this picutre.
Here is picture with the F23 host in the middle.

LPM Results:
Mini-Me with 405-G1 lens "Peak" and pretty stable
Mini with the 405-G-1 lens "Peak" Drops ~100mW

Both 10440 & 14500 build together plus comarison to other 10440 hosts:

These are great little build. Great pocket lasers and just classy and sexy hosts. These have become my favorite new tiny lasers. There the smallest i think it can get other then have someone make you custom host even smaller. But even then its going to be tough to beat the size of these. It seems that they have made it as thin as possible and could be the shortest you can make the length as well. But never under estimate the great skills of Ehgemus or other host makers.:eg:
