Well, I am definatly interested and started to work to turn my idea into reality. The extra month comes real handy.

Thank you for holding this contest.

With a full month to do this, I hope to see more people join.

ok so I started this laser as a birthday gift for my father... and now it is ready...

here is the final picture (do I have to post a thread with step by step?? if so I will as soon as I get an answer if I am eligible to participate :na:

a C6 Cree Host LOC Red diode at ~460mA, driver,heatsink all self made!!!

 

[Tech_Junkie]

C6 lasers are abundant on this forum. Its not an original idea, which is what the contest is about.

 

[foulmist]

well I did it with C6 because it's a gift for dad not a original idea but i wanted that host for present so I just thought I could try in the contest ... after all I made all other things from scratch

ok no need to get offensive ... at least I am making something myself not buying everything ready to go :wtf:

 

[anselm]

He's not really being offensive. He just doesn't sugar coat it. He never does.

I guess one COULD try to enter with a C6... question is, will people vote for it?

So you made the C6 flashlight body from scratch? :crackup: Did you also make the diode, forge the metal for the heat sink, and create the electronic components you soldered together?

Stop derailing the thread kid.

[Ra1nfade]

I have something to share for this contest but it won't be finished on the 29th. Would it still be a vaild entry?

Sorry if this question has already been asked I didnt see it in the thread.

My Entry
My first homemade labby.
445nm 1100mw Flex-3 driver
Everything is metal bonded to each other.
Two fans. Top fan draws air in down over the chip.
The back fan draws it out.
I have two Marlow RC6-4 TEC modules wired in series im
trying to figure out the best place for them.
Heres pics.
Not pretty, but No duty cycle at all. well so far..:yh:
thinking of making a little box for it but I like the way it looks to open to.
Getting power to everything is kinda hard.. All I got is a bunch of old DC Converters at varies volts/amps. I use and adjustable one for the diode. Back fan takes 24 volts... Only got 12 going to it and it hummmmmms good.
Here the pictures. Enjoy.

 

[Thorsteenster]

Ha, where'd you get that heatsink, looks like it has fan mounts and fits a 540 sized motor? I could actually use one like that for an RC car of mine.....
