I'm still confused why we are looking for internal lens springs... Am I the only one who thinks they are useless?

I think we should be looking for external ones like the ones sold at SL.

I have an external lens spring that I will measure today and see if we can source it as well.

 

[PersonGuyDude]

me too, if i try this GB ever again then ill aim for 5000, 0.78$ for C11000 at 5000, thats not too bad eh

Yeah, if these do come out perfect, I think your going to put aixiz damn near out of business, as far as the high powered laser community is concerned..

Ok, these are my measurements on the external spring that come with the Survival Laser.

External laser spring

Outer diameter 0.425"
Inner diameter 0.375"
Diameter of lens case 0.3525" (absolute inner diameter)

Open length 0.375" (not a mistake - happens to be same as i.d.)
Solid height 0.115"

The closest thing I can find (reasonably priced) are these two choices on eBay.

100 ea .390" OD x .016" Wire Dia x .550" Long - Compression Springs - Stainless | eBay

They are TIGHT on the lens case, with an inner diameter of 0.358" and the outer diameter of a 650-G1 case is 0.3525" so they will be close!

Also, the solid height is a little long too, at 0.144" compared to around 0.115" for the Survival Laser versions, but these springs have a spare coil at top and bottom, so if they bind before focus then it would be easy enough to clip one (or both) of the spare coils to bring the lens closer.

And they have the best price of the bunch.

100 @ $13.95 with free shipping works out to... Hold on, let me get my calculator. Ahh yes, less than 15 cents each.

The other option is more expensive, but may be better.

50 ea .390" OD x .016" Wire Dia x .642" Long - Compression Springs - Stainless | eBay

These are VERY similar to the springs above, the difference is that they are longer when opened (0.642" vs 0.550") but they have a different pitch so they actually close up tighter at solid height (bind) (0.091" vs 0.144")

You get only 50 of these at the same $13.95 so 28 cents each.

These also have the 0.358" inner diameter so they will be snug.

I am going to include the inner spring info in this post as well, so that all the info will be in one post.

Internal laser spring

Outer diameter 0.269 inches / 6.84mm
Inner diameter 0.244 inches / 6.22mm

Open length 0.580 inches / 14.75 mm (this could change a good bit without causing problems)

0.014 inches / 0.35 mm wire diameter

Solid height 0.10 inch / 2.44mm

50 ea .300" OD x .020" Wire Dia x .440" Long - Compression Springs - Chrome | eBay

I will post back after they arrive to make sure these work, so I would suggest waiting until I report back before anyone else jumps on board. If they all test well I will report back and let everyone know how they do.

I will also post this as a new thread for those who have no idea that this is going on...

They're being manufactured right now and will be shipped out as soon as AnthoT gets them from China. The company said 15 days lead time, so you'll probably get yours in the middle of May.
