So here it is. My baby months in the making. Nearly double as bright as any of my 803t pointers.

Very nice choice with anodizing, great build.
Is that fade with polish or just with fade?

Do you find it needs to warm up a bit?

i did. had some trouble with it for a bit. actually blew a flexdrive. Not sure how. It worked for a while then just stopped. The diode was still fine but the driver was done. I wonder if it has anything to do with the 2400mAh battery that it runs on.
Anyone know if the flexdrive cant handle that kind of input current?

Nice build. I have to say that the blue "whatever" you have to center the spring is ingenious. I'll be using that in my future builds for sure. That is, as soon as you identify the blue disk!
However. I notice you have a "secondary" spring going to the side of the barrel for the negative connection. If I may make a suggestion... solder with a larger "blob" the neg pin to the case of the diode as well. This will complete your negative connection and make it so that you don't need the additional - input. Or you can bend the case pin to connect with the neg pin and it will do the same thing. I brushed over it quickly on my video tutorial.
remove #1 and fix it with #2.
now it's only a suggestion and if the thing works well as is, you may wanna leave it. I donno how many times I've got to fix something simple like that and murphy (gotta Fracking hate murphy) puts his laws into my work and I kill something.
*for those not familiar with murphy. Murphy's law: If something bad can happen, it will!*
Another great thing you did that needs pointing out to those that will follow you with the Kryton builds is in the picture below you created a "thumb tab" to open the cap. That is VITAL. without it once it's closed you'll destroy it trying to open it up. that's the green arrow pointing to it. Also I'd recommend cutting along the red line in the pic to increase the diameter of the lens cap so that you can actually get in there and focus it without removing the cap. not to mention the diameter gets big enough by cutting on the line (and it's there before I drew it and you can see it easily) that the lens will screw right out the hole you created.
Great Job and nicely detailed. You've done an awesome job and even without the suggestions won't detract from it's usefullness and functionality.

you ass holes! I don't want to spend $55! ;D Man, everytime I see these.... and $55 isn't bad price AT ALL especially since it has the red LD too.... Damn it, I'm buyining one. I already have the hosts, heatsinks, and rkcstr drivers.... thanks allot guys!
