My 445nm Build (pic heavy)

[ped]

Thanks to Jayrob's >>18650 kit<< and drlava's excellent >>Microboost driver<< ive constructed this little fella..

The machining on the 18650 kit is fantastic. I opted for the press fit and ez-focus options, so no silly Aixiz lens poking out the front, and now the unit looks like a shop bought laser.

Some pics.

And FYI the driver is set to about 1000Ma maybe even 1100Ma.

Thanks for your time, and to Jayrob and drlava for the parts.

Indeed, it almost looks shopped.

Amazing.

Amazing.

Haha i assure you it isnt, slightly longer exposure time, and smoke from the burn

No offense but
MA= Mega Amper
mA= milli Amper
Ma= ?
Nice build, I have ordered mine I wish it will be the same as yours
Was it easy to assamble?

It's an easy build wbayw... check out my mod I did on my 18650 host (in sig, below)... might come in handy for your build

None taken, ive met more pedantic people....but not many.

MA= Mega Amper
mA= milli Amper
Ma= Milli ampere (to 99.9999999 of the people, given the context it was taken from)



I'm now running it way over spec at around 1200 milliamperes and it doesnt even break a sweat, and a doddle to build, you'll have no problem.

I am an electric engineer, and I don't like seeing Ma as milliamperes. Milliamperes is mA.
I only wanted to correct it. Saying again, no offense.
