Very very nice and clean. My favorite part of this is seeing three 18650's in series like that instead of AAA's.

Too bad there aren´t much nice company 3-4x 18650/26650 hosts.

How about this one ? :yh:


Sunwayman V60C

Or the Nitecore TM11 wich takes 4× 18650!

Nice host !!

The 4x 18650 host could be used for the 4 Watt laser :eg:

Do you think you can build one Blord ?

Maybe 2× diode ?
If so, feel free to contact me.

Cheers, sm.

Smeer, I know these hosts, but they are to squiggled in my eyes. I don´t like the tactical style

I like them smooth, as my Kryton is, or this type

Blord, if you can do the 2diode built, you´re master.

Why stop at 4? If you can push 2 3W diodes at the same time you'll hold the record for a while
Problem is getting a big enough host to dissapate the heat from 2 3W diodes. Not sure if the big boy can handle such power

Nice beamshot in the turning night sky..

The color of the sky matches the beam good

Cheers, sm.

Dual diodes handheld lasers are a whole different league. They are much difficult to make

Intergrated lenses in the heatsink adjusted to compensate the mirror combining the two beams ? ^^

You said it so easily. I don't have the machinery to make a special sink.

Guys i would like some help here,
i need a battery holder like the one that comes
with this host but in series and not in paraller.
Any help here?

Jim

 

[Blord]

Do you still have trouble finding it out ? It is the same battery holder. I will take some pictures of the modified holder later.

Follow this post How to make a Big Boy batt. tray into series It's easy to do just go slow and use a marker to mark the +/-. Good luck

 

[jimdt7]

First of all, thank you both for your help!
I tried following that tut a week ago and somehow i sorted my batts...
I have fixed it now, but the thing is that it looks pretty bad....
Anybody wanting to trade a battery holder with something else? :thinking:

Jim

 

[Blord]

It doesn't matter if the holder looks bad of the shorting as long as it function right.

Did the switch melted or get some damage ? I have a new switch if you want.
