FS: Key Chain Build Kit! - Fit for 10280 Battery...

[jayrob]

nickb, I sent your custom Key Chain flashlight mods today. (Friday)

Hope you like them!

We're out of them aren't we?

 

[jayrob]

Out of what? These key chain 10280 kits?

No, these are available. But there are a few kits I offer, which I do not include a 'Hot' option with. And this kit is one of them...

The smaller the build, the more difficult the assembly, and I would saw that this kit is probably the most 'difficult assembly' kit that I have...

If you get this one, remember that the stock board has a tiny circuit that needs to be disabled on this one. There is a good tutorial with detailed pictures and build tips here:

Always use a driver if you have room...

In this kit,there is room to barely fit a FlexDrive.

I did a direct drive set up with my 'Tiny Titanium' build.

In that thread, there is information on what results I got with a 'direct to battery' set up for red. And then the result of using a resistor, with silicon diode and cap. Which is all I had room for...

I offered a host, but it's very difficult to machine the titanium material. So there is a little extra cost for bit wear...

But I don't sell complete lasers or even laser diodes. So you would have to install your own module and diode, then the other components go in after.

It's a very tight little build as you can see from my pictures in the thread...

 

[jayrob]

The way that one is, you have to 'pack' those components in the space left over after you already have your module and diode mounted...

You can get an idea of what I'm talking about by taking a close look at the pictures in the thread:

[jayrob]

Ah I understand. In the pictures I cant tell is the silicone diode 2nd in the series or is it first?

It's connected just like this: (except without the LM317, the resistor, and the pot)

 

[jayrob]

Basically, all positive legs are together, and all negative legs are together...

i have a 200mw green diode can i use that in this build?

If your talking about the standard 12mm Green modules, but in a 200mW one, it will not fit this host with room for a battery.

Here's a great polished stainless steel host with great heatsinking for any standard 12mm green module:

never mind it was a red diode that i over payed for when i first stating looking into lasers

 

[SerpantSlayer]

Just finished the build it was a little tricky! I used an osram diode and a flexdrive set at 325mA. Puts out around 250mW with the G1 lens!

Nice diode choice for that little build...

Beautiful!

Does anyone know where I can get the flexdrive or a suitable driver for this build? I want to use the PHR-803T.

FlexDrives here:
Nautilus Integration Micro FlexDrive V5

Thanks jayrob,

Which diode would you reccomend for a first build? I want to use the PHR but I found this diode cheap and don't know if it is a good buy or whether the flexdrive will be alright to safely power it - thoughts?
Ebay 250mW Diode

And finally, how should I contact you to purchase this kit for the build? (and any additional heat sinking I may need with that 250mW Diode)

Thanks for everything,
A budding laser enthusiast
