Aixiz mod spring

[jander6442]

This is a thread to warn about the aixiz module I orderd 10 from their site. The springs in the order was smaller than previous and
while this doesn't present a problem untill you want to open the back once you open the back the spring will not work.

Also [highlight]I wouldn't use these springs on any open can build [/highlight]:'( I think the consences was that the spring should match the unopened
lens. Just a heads up on the issue. Anybody know the store owner maybe drop a dime. I tried to e-mail him on ship time 2x
and no answer back. :-? :-? :-?

Anyone have a link to some springs site those are hard to find. :-?

I had the same problem.  More info here:  http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1238556390/0#9

This is a pic showing the new, unacceptable, Aixiz springs that will destroy an open can diode

Warske;

[highlight]Everybody needs to throw away those springs anyway.[/highlight]

The spring rubbing generate brass particles, which can end up on the lens.

Use Teflon tape to tighten up the lens assemblies.

There is another problem shown in your picture:

[highlight]The DX module does NOT have deep enough threads.[/highlight]

They will not work with any hi-power lenses that need to be close to the laser diodes.

I found some usable springs in a mixed box of springs at home depot if you don't want to go the online route. The least tense springs are best just make sure you are 100% correct about the size.
