lab style heatsink finished

[DTMF]

i finaly got around to working on these . 4 of them are for my spiro monster  ;D they should be done tomorrow as long as i don't have a busy day   . there will be a total of 15 made . it's 1"x2" with a 12mm hole and a recessed setscrew 4 mounting hole's  with recessed capscrew's  and some fin's  ima do the fin's tomorrow

[highlight]EDIT[/highlight]: they are done  ;D this took alot of work  i thought it would be easy to tell a machine what to do it. wasn't  . ther are now 11 insted of 15  i ruined a few  :-[ and i changed some of the design as you can see from the pic's .
these lil guy's where machined out of a solid block of 1"x 2" aluminum . they take about 15 min's each to make in the minimill  ;D scroll on down for the finished pic's   ENJOY  

front and on it's side

front

side

top

with a newwish green inside

side with axiz module as you can see the axiz sick's out of the back little bit less than 1/4"

Make more!

I have been looking for something like this for ages and always have trouble finding one. Willing to sell any?

Re: lab style heatsink teaser

are they fan attachable?

These look really nice... being able to mill things is very handy.

i am willing to trade some of them . if i find more people like them a may make another run of them . i have already come up with more idea's .

@thegr8revealing
these one's will not be fan attachable as they are to small and i don't thik there's a need for one

@ benm i have a good friend that own's a machine shop he let's me play around with all the automated machine's when it's slow . i'm still having trouble learning to use the program's .

i would also like to know if there is a need for heatsink's like this . i can make as many as i want i just feed the machine

They are only a bit shorter than my DL 50mW green labby.

That's great news though, how much would you be willing to sell them for? I think there is a need for them, at the moment I see people having to buy cheap DX modules and ripping out the diode and driver just for the heatsink and even then I don't think there are any mounting points on the heatsink.

Re: lab style heatsink teaser

i also found some heatsink's on zbolt . i didn't like the look of them .
i was only go to make 4 of them but my friend got pissed @ me and said i was a fool for not making 20 of them . so now i'm makeing as many as i can .i ruined the 1st one :'(

i now have to rework the whole thing . now they will be even smaller but still hold the axiz with out sicking out except for the len's nut . the set screw will be on the top i may drill for 2 and the mounting hole's will now be u shaped so you can move it around abit .

as for the price i'm not shure i will be selling them alest not the 1st batch . i will do trades for some of the 1st batch . i only need 4 of them

If you make any more with the original dimensions I will buy.

Re: lab style heatsink teaser

count me in for one i might have some other designs that might be interesting to make

Re: lab style heatsink teaser

let me know what you end up with. i may want 3 of them especially if they have mounting holes...

they will for shure have four mounting holes . it will also house the whole axiz module . i may start a GB thread tonight when i get home . as for price i'm still not shure . proly 25.00 plus shiping as these are going to be very nice when done .

I think thats a reasonable price actually. I am assuming thats USD?

Re: lab style heatsink teaser

yes it is USD . i think it's a good price these are going to look so good . i have re-work'd the design a bit to make it look even better .

Thats good

I wouldn't change the design too much, I think the ones you have above are the best kind of design. I really can't stand these triangle shaped ones and such, they really do look odd and look ridiculous in a scanner as well as being hard to align.

the only reason i'm making the change to the design is becuse of the mounting hole's . i was way off on my math and made the 1st one's to big . now i'm going with a channle insted of "hole's" . they will be u shaped it will give you more room to adjust the heatsink when mounted . i realy thought i would be done with the demo but this cnc stuff is hard . hopefully by the end of the week . when i finish the 1st one and it look's good all i have to do after that is feed the machine

Re: lab style heatsink teaser

It would be superb if you could machine them in 2 pieces so a TEC could be incorporated in the end result - just a little block for the laser module, and de rest of the unit on the hot side of the TEC.
