Re: FS: Direct Diode Heatsinks - The 'Chunk' serie
Hello !
I received the big chunk this minute, this morning !
(in fact the heatsink were packed with plastic bubble, so shipping is perfect)
The design is very very sweet ! IMO a must have for terrific cooling !
Fit perfectly in a mxdl, but an idea come in my head : why not build a 3 host heatsink module ? It will be amazing !
In fact im doing this without heatsink, only with the aixiz housing.
In fact, it's really a huge lot of machined aixiz housing, with a result not as good .
So yours skilling heatsink gave me an idea; you could do a heatsink with 3 holes (2 for press fit red and blue diode, + the associated threaded to put a lens, + another hole, bigger to support a green module)
Here it's :
First, don't remove the matter, it fit perfectly in the mxdl with, and it will be needed next.
Second, a green module (o-like type) have a diameter exactly equal to the diameter of the aixiz ring
Third, i saw that 3 ring can fit in the diameter of the big chunk, wonderful !
Finnaly, for the back, just remove a little of matter (in red) in front of the 2 hole were the diode are press fitted, and to allow the green module to pass.
Of course, the green module have a good lenght with the driver : to make this mod, we can unsolder the driver and place him in the space, or building a tiny one. With patient, it could be easily done, i made it without an heatsink which could maintain perfectly the 3 laser module !
It's feasible, dunno what you think, but it will be a very special heatsink for special mod !;
of course we can make also heatsink for only red and blue diode, not a problem ! a further improvement is to use also copper (but $$ but worth the price) for the heatsink.
just an idea
