FS: Sonar Laser Cases!

[rkcstr]

Mine's just meant as a pointer, so I have no reason to have it focused except for infinity (well, I as close as I can get anyway ).

 

[ArRaY]

Mine is ment to be a high powered pointer so I am as well going to focus to infinity, not for burning...
But still waiting for my flexdrive, cr123a primaries and my testload.

*My Dx 30 broke a moment ago, please be sad for a minute with me*

I agree, there's not much need for focusing on mine. I plan on setting it to infinity, and if focusing is necessary, external focusing optics will be used. I'm also working on another project to get the beam on a bluray down to less than 2mm

 

[Dark_Horse]

Mine is just focued to infinity as well, it seams to work well, a better pointer than I had originally thought, still not $2000 worth.

 

[el-taco]

still not $2000 worth.

Amen to that!

I kind of feel sorry for people that paid $2k to WL for theirs.... Then again, they deserve it if they dont bother to research.

 

[ArRaY]

QFT! Whenever there is something that you want to buy in that price class, you´d better research some hours...

 

[Midknight]

If the front screws off the why are you guys drilling them?

Also, has any one tried using 3.7V 17670 1800mAh Li-Ion's?

Dark_Horse, How we looking on more heatsinks? :

I ordered two 17670s a week ago.
Some people said that the 17670 did not fit, or even some 16340 (Conventional CR123 size) did not fit. These are protected ones though, I think that the protection circuit was just a millimeter off from fitting.

Let me know if it fits.

I just pulled some unprotected 17670 cells from a laptop pack, and they just barely fit in my silver sonar cases (like the 123A's) some sanding of the initial threads are needed, but it fits in the main barrel fine. Type US17670GR
This will be perfect for the flex

 

[Murudai]

Hey drlava, would the flex be able to take 2xCR123a 3.6v batts, or do you recommend a dummy battery in there?

I can't afford it at the moment, but I'm definitely gonna buy a flexdrive for the Sonar if that will work, and if you have any dummy batteries to add as well that would be great

 

[ArRaY]

The flex´s maximum input is 6V, hence the need for a silicon diode to drop the current of 2 full cr123a 3V batterys, which is about 6.4 V at full charge...
