FS: EzFocus Adapters! Focusing Adapter For Kryton's and Others!

Re: FS: Kryton EzFocus! Focusing Adapter For Kryto

Wow Jayrob how many accessiories and options can you make for one single host? :o :o :o
 





Re: FS: Kryton EzFocus! Focusing Adapter For Kryto

I know next he'll have a pop on 3x kryton beam expander :o :o :o
 
Re: FS: Kryton EzFocus! Focusing Adapter For Kryto

I swear man, I thought of this as soon as I got my kryton! Sad thing is: I don't have a lathe.

Besides, yours looks much better than anything I could throw together :). Nice mod, Jay.
 
Re: FS: Kryton EzFocus! Focusing Adapter For Kryto

Thanks for the props guys! :)

But our hats go off to Kenom for designing such a great host! Yes, this Kryton EzFocus adapter gives it more functionality, but we wouldn't even bother if it wasn't such an awesome design in the first place! 8-)

Re: FS: Kryton EzFocus! Focusing Adapter For Kryto

Another great creation Jayrob!!!
 
Re: FS: Kryton EzFocus! Focusing Adapter For Kryto

Thanks man! You guys are too kind...

But feel free to spread the word to Kryton owners! :D

If you have a Kryton, this really is a very nice add on. Especially if you go with one of my Meredith or 405-G-1 glass lens modifications. :)

Is one of the 405-G-1 glass lens mods on your Kryton? This EzFocus adapter will go very well with the lens mod! :)

It will be yes, but the diode in my Kryton somewhat blew (only outputs like 10mW now) so I need to get it repaired first.

I did try to put your lens on, it fits fine if I have no spring at all.
 
Re: FS: Kryton EzFocus! Focusing Adapter For Kryto

If you have a couple of wraps of Teflon, you should be just fine without a spring...

I use both, but have to cut the spring in half and bend the cut end to form a clean finish. This is easy to do if desired:

Re: FS: Kryton EzFocus! Focusing Adapter For Kryto

Ya know I could SO see Jay making an adapter for a laserglow or whatever beam expander to fit onto the Kryton.

Something like that would probably need to thread on there Ken...

I would like to learn threading operations on the lathe. But I never have looked into it thus far. My old Atlas lathe does have this capability:

Maybe a good thing for a future project after I learn more. :)

Knurling is actually a new lathe operation for me. I just read up on it, and learned about the proper spindle speed for the size of material, bought the knurling tool, and it works great! 8-)

Re: FS: Kryton EzFocus! Focusing Adapter For Kryto

Have you considered tapping a thread for the lens(es) directly into your finger grip rather than gripping the Aixiz ring? This *might* be an improvement, since you could probably allow for a lens to focus closer to the diode, especially for the acryllic lenses. Your lathe is pretty impressive - does that mean that you do all of your work by hand? I could never manage that level of accuracy ;). Sadly, my school's main lathe is so old, it doesn't do metric threads at all (which is annoying to say the least) and the CNC lathe has been broken for the last 4 years. I have ended up spending maybe 3 hours making a heatsink, lathing and drilling by hand, whereas a CNC one would have taken less than 15 minutes to do the same work :-/

FYI, I will be buying one of your lenses as soon as I get my hosts from Rob.

Re: FS: Kryton EzFocus! Focusing Adapter For Kryto

Hey Charlie, that's a good idea about threading the EzFocus adapter onto the AixiZ nut!

Of course, it would mean more work. But I do have the 9mm Tap and Die for the AixiZ threads....

I'll kick that around a little.

Yes, I do all of my machine work on that small Atlas 6" lathe. It's old, and parts are hard to come by, but it is a very nice machine for soft metals like the 6061 aluminum that I use for all of my stuff. The spindle bearings are in great condition and I just replaced the counter shaft bearings not too long ago. So she spins smooth and true...

About the 405-G-1 glass lens, I have stock, so just let me know when your ready! :)
