That's kind of what I'm planning to do down the road and why I'm trying to get a idea of the kind of upgraded components that would work with my host. :beer:Hi Accu,
I wish i can help you out but i don't buy Chinese lasers so i wouldn't know were to start pal. All my lasers i built with components from the states. The empty host pics i sent you had no components inside, I modded them the American way I'm not bashing Chinese manufacturing but its not for me personal choice i guess.

$60 not bad. It can be repurposed if it dies. Check out what Lifetime17 did with that style host. Once you mod the laser it is no longer the cheap piece you bought from China. Take a look at Survival Lasers for the standard host. A great way to get your hands dirty.That's kind of what I'm planning to do down the road and why I'm trying to get a idea of the kind of upgraded components that would work with my host. :beer:
From these pictures I just got it looks as if I use the right size tube I might be able to press it out and save the diode & driver without damage to them ? Maybe.......Hi Accro,
Hey if you don't plan on saving that driver and diode in your Thor heat that section up with w good heat gun and push it out from the back of the tube . Looks like that's the only part thats giving you trouble .

Thanks ! That's just what I'm going to do, Any idea the max power diode setup my host could support ? and any ideas on how it could be modded to support more power in the same host ?$60 not bad.

I think Lifetime's build showed just about what's possible. It's honed out to even accept 2 18350's. You have access to a lathe like him plus other goodies.Thanks !

Thanks, Now I have a somewhat plan of attack but first thing will be deciding on what upgrade diode & driver parts & pieces to get...... Decisions, Decisions........ :can:I think Lifetime's build showed just about what's possible. It's honed out to even accept 2 18350's. You have access to a lathe like him plus other goodies.
