First 803T in MXDL Success *pics and vid*

[nvmextc]

I've finally completed my first Blu Ray MXDL host. I've used a fixed rckstr drive @ 150ma, and an 803T diode from AMK's 3rd GB. (I've had alot of luck extracting these diodes, I killed the last 3 I had from another GB very quickly but that's another story).
It's host is the 5W MXDL that uses 3x10440's and I've used 1 of Jayrob's heatsink. It's putting out 115mW atm, a number I'm happy with considering past results.
Here's some photo's and a link to a video. It can cut through white electrical tape, but it's hard to make a video cos of the flourescence.

Bright dot for the camera

And compared with 80mW green and 210mW red.

In the last picture it overpowers the greenie. What duty cycle are you using for it? Great jpb.

Great. I'll be doing the same in a few days, with the diode from the same GB. Currently I have a red in my MXDL with ddl driver and it drains the batteries in 10min. I'm waiting for my Lavadrive V2, so I can burn for at least an hour.

Good job there nvmextc! Nice to see that people are having success with my heatsink designs.

Thx for the comments guys. Yer I like that 3rd pic, the room was foggy and my camera seems to like violet. It's on roughly a 2 minute duty cycle (it's hard to turn it off). Have played with it heaps and haven't run the batteries flat yet . and Thx jayrob, these heatsinks are great to use.

i just made my red in this beast of a flash light and i love the feel.

the heat sink is great too! and that host has so much room. i actually have the whole aixiz module with the rckstr driver inside of it and it fits no problem!



your build looks great! you can get a pretty good duty cycle out of this laser with that massive heat sink!

Congrats to both of you! No better feeling than when you can make something you like work!!
