GB: 2$ copper modules ALL SIZES CLOSED

[tsteele93]

as I said next batch we must send a sample that we want copied exactly the same

I agree with this - taking a known, good module is the way to go.

I don't know. I think he is right the thing just barley fits the can though the hole.:tinfoil:

I didn't know we were sticking barley in our lasers...

Must mean good luck!

It is more thermally conductive and a better alternative to Vegemite.

 

[Hiemal]

We should make a Barley Vegemite combination. Ultimate thermal paste! :crackup:

I'll get the hole widened a bit, sorry I thought the more it touches the diode the better for sucking the heat away next time I'll get it Aixiz size

Got mine in today, cant do much since my funds are VERY limited at the moment, at least I have them for when I need them :beer:

Anybody want to buy two of these with m140s pressed and leads attached? The threads are messed up though. :/

 

[AnthoT]

rest of US modules shipped yesterday should get to DTR the 31st

Whatcha mean the threads are messed up?

I might be interested.

PM sent!

Got mine today, tested these with both acrylic and glass lenses.
The acrylic ones worked great, but the glass lens fits very tight.
So tight that i cant remove it now

Might be a good idea to get a tap to chase these things with, or definitely a good idea to blow them out really good with compressed air before putting a lens in them. That may be all it takes...

 

[T_Warne]

If you are going to spend the money to buy a tap, I suggest that you buy a diode removal tool instead.
I tried using a tap and found that it opened up the threads too much and made the lens fit loosely.
By screwing the removal tool all the way in, it smoothed the threads out but left them tight.
So, the diode removal tool is now a multi tool! Safely removes diodes as well as smooths out bad threads.

PS Look what I found at the grocery store last night.

Glad you got them, try using pliers to remove that lens, but as gentle as you can and it should come out :beer: ( I found 1 with that problem and it worked for me

The lens barrel is made of steel. Much harder material than copper. I would turn in and out the lens with a tool a few time to grind the thread. It will loosened up.

Btw my package hasn't arrived yet. Maybe the postman is a laser hobbyist and want to keep the modules.
