Few picture of my 10 lasers hosts assembly (survival laser stainless stell hosts)
I'm French and I can make a lot of mistake in english.
My advice for mounting:
- Remember to protect your eyes / handle a laser (beam or reflections) like an "infinite length" knife for eyes
- I don't use heat shrink on diode pin - it's useless when welds are clean, and I keep diode easy to change -
- Brass ring are not pressed completly onto pill to keep it unmountable - juss press a bit with hands -
- I never use the x-boost driver - it always kill the diode if there is a "sparky" condition on power supply side or a bad switch bounce! - remember also a boost-only driver can kill the diode if voltage on battery is more than diode voltage drop
- Switch upgrade way better than SL stock or spare switch (I order them not-assembled/as kit to get better precision and solder quality) - LINK: HQ switch + gold PCB&spring
- 3D printed washer to replace stock metal washer on switch assembly
- Never power on a powerful blue laser with the whell know glow in the dark dust cap else the silicone will degrade and the smoke go on the lens! I use this instead - LINK: Transparent dust cap for high power blue laser
- Remember, mirror bounce to laser can kill the diode even if powered at datasheet value (near all energy is re-focused exactly to the output mirror resulting in a COD failure).
- RGBV singlemode diodes with three or two element Aixiz lenses -> Replaced with new LFL G2 lenses (aliexpress)
R) Mitsubishi LPC-840 5.6mm 300mW 660nm
R) Mitsubishi ML520G55 5.6mm 180mW 638nm
G) NDG4216 3.8mm 100mW 515nm -> Replaced with the new Osram PL520B way better beam spec
B) PLP450 5.6mm 450nm
V) BDR-209 16x bluray diode (with hard to find long focal "G2-LFL" lense)
- RGB multimode diodes with G2 lenses -> Replaced with new LFL G2 lenses (aliexpress)
R) HL63193MG 5.6mm 638nm
G) NDG7475 9mm 520nm
B) NUBM07E 9mm 465nm
B) NDB7875 9mm 445nm
B) NUBM44 9mm 450nm (S4X big host)
