Some more progress on the host and a polish!

Damn, ok, be just like RB Astro showing me such nice toys that I'd like to have but are unique.

Is looking great--nice work as usual BBB

I like what you've done with the host, great work once again!

Thank you guys it's starting to look nice now, so here's another LPM test I just done with the module and transistor heatsinked, Longer run than before and 4.2v battery fully charged it's starting to look better, I'm sure after I add collimation it will be even better!

Thanks mate!

Those brass copper hosts you machined there look really nice also mate, good job, a lot of detail awesome!

Thanks mate!
Hopefully it will be finished soon!

Am I reading that right, does it take a 10watts of IR to Pump .8 watts of 532nm light? Insane, but so bad ass!

Not sure where you're seeing that?

That's fairly low as far as 532nm efficiency goes, but it's not unreasonable.

Just wanted to show of the positive compleating circuit latching switch,
I love the word precision and in this case it shows, with the extra time and care that I put into all my builds,
A brass tube was machined to slide over the threads of the stainless steel switch and with a little pressure pop it's now a solid brass switch, Outer diameter also machined precisely so as to press into the host and become one piece, no glues no set screws just a perfect continuity throughout the whole housing for the positive connection,
A little thermal epoxy was used to adhere the spring to the switch as well as some solder,
If ever needed to be dismantled, a tube pressing on the outer brass ring on the inside will be sufficient to press the switch back out!

Back to work on the negative contact and the optics these things take time, actually haven't slept yet since finishing night shift this morning so maybe time for bed!

I have well observed the construction of this step-by-step laser pointer (including video).
You have the metal lathe with 3 Jaws ...!
Now I've got the concept of laser host construction!
It's all about Matrioska one in the other! with a margin of 1mm max.

My compliments :gj:​

Great mate,
Thank you, I think! I'm happy you understand now good luck!

Great mate,
Thank you, I think! I'm happy you understand now good luck!

Is the On / Off switch 12V 3A?
Welding the + and - to the extremes excluding the central one!
Can you use the same instead of the classic button in the led torches?

I'm going to have to ditto what everybody else has said about your build Billy, well done! Always a pleasure. :gj:
