Being new to this, I have some questions. I've searched for answers here, but I feel confused and a bit overwhelmed with some of the answers I found. So this is an attempt to try and bring some answers into one place for me and maybe anyone else who might be interested.
I will hopefully be working on my first project soon when the parts arrive. This is the build.
NUBM06 4w 445 diode in 12mm full length copper module with a G8 lens (from DTR)
Super X-drive set @ 4.0amps (from DTR)
Survival Laser SS host with extension tube to run 2 18650's
Question #1: When is it best to add more heatsinks to driver module?
Driver will be thermal epoxied to the pill inside, but I was thinking of adding another copper sink to the opposite side of the driver to help with more heat exchange, but not totally sure what I should sink.
Question #2: Case Positive, seems like the cheap lasers you get off of eBay/Amazon are all case positive.
Do I need to run this case positive as well or is this only with certain diodes?
Question #3: Lenses- diodes like NUBM06, 07, 08 all have cans on them or at least that's how they look and how I took it from certain threads here and it seems as if you may compromise the life of the diode when the can is removed.
Is this can/cover the Gball lens or for that matter a lense at all? Can you stack another lens on top of this, like a G2 or G8?
