After seeing the minimag mod on here that utilizes a lava drive, I wanted to see if a micro drive would fit as well. It does. There are other battery options as well.
2x AAA batteries work if used with a 3/8" I.D. clear tube (Lowes) that acts like a spacer. So a micro drive would work if 10440's are used in this method (lava drive works if using regular AAA's).
Also, 3x cr2 primary lithium batteries from batteryjunction.com work too. I had to use a magnet though. Regular cr2's don't fit.
I didn't take a bunch of pics on how I did this because I am not trying to offer a kit, or step on any toes... I know how sensitive this issue tends to be on LPF. I just wanted to show a micro drive could be used in place of a lava drive.
I did take a few pics of my build. Here they are:
I did use a heatsink, I just forgot to take a pic of it.
Glow powder is cool.
