A possible MiniMagLite build?

[KorweanKid]

Ok so I've been thinking of starting another blu-ray laser. I made a diagram of how I'll fit it into the flashlight. Currently I have an empty module which I put into a empty minimag. Please correct me if anything is wrong with the build.

Button cells don't have enough capacity, your runtime will be VERY short.

You can try using a flexdrive and 3.7v lithium batteries instead of those button cells.

You should talk to jayrob as he is doing something similar, hopefully he sees this thread.

Thanks for the plug!

The thread that is linked, is not only a sale thread, but can be used as a great tutorial, or just one way to build a Mini Mag modification that could give you some ideas for your build!

Heatsinking the module is desirable, but the Mini Mag host is limited on space. That's why I mounted the driver inside the barrel, to make room for a heatsink! I sell the heatsinks separately as well...

I had a similar idea when I first joined here. The thing is, unless the focusing ring is tightened all the way, your aixiz module will be loose. Or you could use some thermal paste or a blob of solder to make it fit snug. Which driver were you planning on using? You could use your idea, with a flexdrive, and one 14650 battery. Your best bet with the mini-mag is using Jayrob's kit.

Also, as far as your wiring diagram goes, this diagram from Bennycast would work better for this case negative build:

Here is a pic of my mini-mag, but I was powering it with a 9V battery that I was holding in my hand just to try it out.

Cust11 helped me with all this info in a previous thread.

Wow thanx for the help I'll be sure to update on how everything goes.
