Hiya Freinds!
So here starts my first high end build, please bare with me, all help is greatly appreciated, I do NOT want to screw this up. This is what I've pulled the trigger on so far. Ordering from DTR's Laser Shop I opted for the NUBMM-V2 450nm 7W Diode in the 20mm Copper Module Case with the ACS5500BU Driver set at 4.5A. I ordered with the G8 lense. So I was originally going to go with the 24mm case but the 20mm is still really beefy(and besides the point). I'm making my own host so that is the least of my worries. Now I'm still reading a lot on this when it comes to best most appropriate components. Now working from the above components back do I need a mosfet before the switch for a load or does this Driver work fine as is(I know it has a ramp up module)? I'll be powering with two 3.7V batteries. Best battery contact and what I should consider with that component wise to help cushion the system? Best switch? I'm not sure where I'll mount the switch, at the butt end or midway. And if at the end should I have the spring at the top or on the end with the switch? I'll be doing a lot of reading and anyone on here who has built using these above components I'm not too proud to beg to see what their layout is(feel free to point me to the right place on here) My host I'll be turning and pressing the copper into(should I use anything between the copper and the aluminum like thermal paste? I'll be reaming the host to accept the 20mm(which I'll measure when I get it but seems to be 5 thousanths under). Any and all walk through would be really helpful. I'll be testing loads and settings etc as I go through with my voltmeter. I'm not even going to open the component packaging without doing loads more research until I'm 100% sure I know what will work safely.
Thanks loads ahead of time guys!![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
