My first build <3

[TimTom]

Hi guys,

i finally finished it, my first build! :drool:
It is obviosly blue and has an output of ~1W - there im not sure, i dont have a LPM.. here some pics:

atm i dont have batteries for my laser.. so i had to build my own who gives me ~9Vx)

At monday i will upload a short video to demonstrate the burning power - atm. my batteries are too weak to burn

It isn't that good but I hope you like it


Before i forgot.. thank you sinner for this awesome host :thanks:


Thank you,
TimTom

What diode did you use and what is it driven at? BTW I wouldnt use that battery setup again. Looks like those are AA batteries? If so they are normally 1.5V each and at 9V that is a little higher than the 8.2V of freshly charged Li-Ion cells. Plus you are mixing cells which is never a good idea. Im sure you bought 26650 cells for this so I suggest waiting for them to arrive and not risking damaging the SSW :beer:

Yep, I should get them monday =)

Im not sure what diode I used, but I have a datasheet for you: http://puu.sh/7PDea.jpg

And it is driven at ~1.25A :b

That'd be a M140 diode :beer: M140 @ 1.25A should be well over 1W

Yep sure, but I bought it as a replacement for casio-beamers so I don't think, that it works for now ~.~ With 7.2V I do not have really burning power as normally if its new ^.^

Nice build! +1

That battery rig. :crackup:

Congratulations on your first build ! What do you mean "it isn't that good". It's a nice host, a nice diode & it works ! I'm not even going to say anything about your battery setup except maybe you got a little anxious to test it out. Good job and I hope your batteries show up soon !

 

[TimTom]

Thank you

I got my batteries today and actually I'm charging it up to 4.2V - I look, that I take a video next days.

Hello!

Good job on this build! You battery setup made my day! Anyway good to see you like the laser hobby!

Greetings!!
