Nice! Can't wait to get mine

Cant accuretly test the power as my LPM 1 doesnt have a setting for this wavelength, but the OP has the results tested as 473nm, I belive it is around 300mW at the moment, using rkcstr set to max(around 434mA)...Maybe i missed it, but did you tell us what power your pumping? Burning ability sounds amazing. Sometime try some other things, with it focused. Like wood burning...It's always fun to write stuff in wood! I wrote my name 1x8" bold with a bluray once on a scrap peace of wood
*whistles* Videos are always...cool
Thanks for letting how it compares to 473nm & 405nm & for the pics!
Wow
Sitting there in that huge heatsink it looks like it packs some serious punch, and it actually does... i love the color, bluray be gone!
This morning I got my build together. MXDL 4171 Host, My custom machined heat sink, V5 Flexdrive and 18650 Li-Ion non protected battery. I noticed the driver getting pretty hot so I decided to heat sink it. I just used thermal paste an made a hold down clamp. I can still go back in and make output adjustments. Output now is 750mw using the G-1 glass.
I was in a hurry to build so I promise to plot out my next diode.

Quote: 750mW!!! Nice! How much current are you feeding it?
My V5 driver is set to 900mw. DVM set between output of driver and Pos in to diode.
:thinking:
Did you set your drive with the diode connected? Or did you use a test load..
I'm liking your driver setup on that. NiceThis morning I got my build together. MXDL 4171 Host, My custom machined heat sink, V5 Flexdrive and 18650 Li-Ion non protected battery.

Flexdrives work fine with these 445nm diodes as Spyderfire has shown@ ff-racer
Keep in mind that the V5 flex is not meant to sustain high currents with a diode that has a high Vf.
Your diode may not be getting the full 900mA because the driver is not designed for that.
The V5 Flex manual tells you what the recommended operating parameters are.
Anyway, nice work.
