Here is my new mits 110 singlemode build in an Aurara SH 035 with extention and a mogasm 159ma linear driver. Thaught I would share it with ya.

This was a fairly difficult build mainly due to my driver choice but it is what I had on hand. I had to drill out the pill and extend the module part way out the end of the heatsink to accomidate the length of the mogasm linear driver I dont think this will make alot of difference in performance due to it being a low 167ma build. A round driver would have made this alot easier but unfortunately I cant get them anymore. I also needed a small spacer between the pill and the heatsink which left a small gap in the head connection I am going to try to find a smaller spacer wich would solve the problem. I cut some slots in the pill so i could use a small screwdriver to turn in the pill and I used a blank benboost round board for my battery contact. I knew buying them would come in handy and I didnt have to wreck a perfectly good led driver for it. On another note this driver seems to work with 1-14500cell as well as 2x14500cells with the extention. the driver on the testload put out 167ma with 2 cells and about 107ma with 1 cell. I hope I'm not hurting it with excess V running on 2 cells.

Well here it is with and without smoke...

Here is the raw diode output compared to a mits 300(bottom) @2'

+ 1 on persevering with a difficult build, but it was worth the effort, single mode 638 is brilliant. Well done.
 
Yes, those small builds are not easy but you did it ! And a case neutral diode helps alot.
 
Yep I killed a mits500 in this host when my driver got hungup on the pill and twisted the pins off This time I made sure I could see the driver while I was screwing in the pill to make sure there were no hangups.

Forgot the host pictures...
 
Wow, it looks great! I'm not the biggest fan of reds so I've yet to spend the $50+ on a Mits diode yet, but eventually I'll get around to it myself. The host looks a bit curved though? Is your camera on the fritz or did you bend it when you, err, "nudged" the heatsink in there?
:whistle:
 
Hmmm it does look a bit curved... I think it's just an illusion of the shadow on the bottom. I duno it is actually not curved quite flat on a counter top even with the extention it likes to roll...
 
Nice work. Glad to see this one survived.:tinfoil:
 
Yep the Meatgrinder lost this time! I have the mitts500 too but I'm going to wait till I get everything before playing with it more... I dont want another incident like the last...
 
Excellent! Conservatively powered coherent diode very pleasing @ < 640nm.
 
Yep that was my intention. I have lots of burning lasers now I just thaught Hey this thing doesnt have to burn the cat! But I bet the cat would still lose on this.. I really just wanted a nice laser that will last the ages...
