Build: 405nm Menard's Penlite

[The Lightning Stalker]

New build! Updates and pictures will be posted as soon as parts become available.

The purposes of this build are not to be powerful, but to be pretty and to be able to set UV
glue. In hindsight, I should've gotten the blue one, but it's a bit late for that now. Maybe if
it's not done by 11/21 I can pick one up.

• Host: Menard's "TOOL SHOP®" 2x AAA Penlite w/Clicky
• Diode: 405nm 6x GGW @100 - 150mA
• Driver: Nautilus Micro BoostDrive
• Thermal:Custom Lathe Job Heatsink
• Optical: Original sled optics in TunedCavity's "Super Lens" configuration
• Batteries: Single 10450 cell

Subbing.

Have you considered polishing the host? It looks like its begging for some sandpaper & polishing compound

polished hosts are for wankers

What adhesive are you attempting to cure? You may want to verify that it cures alright under violet light too. Sometimes, nothing beats putting it in a clear container and setting it out in the sun.

^^ LOL. I love it when hosts are conflicting colors with the wavelength

I don't know if I'd build into that host personally partially because of the post above... and partially because i don't "prefer" its aesthetics. But I'm glad you're excited about it.

I think this red host will be for testing and proof of concept only. The build will be completed with a blue one.
