Mech Modding in 2026

[Paulostool]

Got some mech adapters from jnrpop but I needed a battery.

I wanted something really short, so decided to start with 18350 host.

To match the finish of the heatsinks I choose a Stainless Steel Convoy S7, got some connectors to fit in and ground the head until it got around 7cm total length.

Next steps are creating my custom adapters and fitting some yellow DPSS on them.

Adding some photos comparing to a 21700 cell, to a short and a normal S2.

The goal was to make it not much longer than a normal host.

Looking good.

Thanks DTR!
All to try matching the heatsinks I got from your shop!

Now the collection is composed of:
- 405nm
- 450nm
- 483nm
- 494nm
- 513nm
- 637nm

Planning to fill this 7th spot here with 660 or 670nm (if I get an extra adapter) and the 8th with a slimmer battery.

Unfortunately my custom battery with 24mm did not fit the case (originally for 21700 cells), so working on a plan B…

Also got extra heatsinks this week for the DPSS range that I’m planning:
- 532nm
- 545nm
- 560nm
- 573nm
- 591nm (or was the module 589? Dunno)

Those will be based on a 24mm “heatsink” adapter that matches my battery diameter.

Used this same heatsink to make a 510 thread > Convoy S2+ head adapter just for fun.

For the DPSS the 22mm laser heatsink will be electrically isolated from the adapter/host.
