My Second Build

[sgtbilkodle]

I hope y'all like it...don't be too brutal!...lol
Can build lasers but can't figure out how to reduce filesize of vid and not sure I'm posting properly so my apologies if I did this wrong.

Just wanted to share...

Nice build man.. +rep

 

[Laser Chick]

Busted out laughing (in a good way) because that big hex head bolt caught me off guard
It is really nice. If you add a bit of weathered wood on there some where that would be a bad @ss steam punk look.
Nice build :gj:

 

[marcuspeh]

Nicely done:gj:+rep

 

[WorldsCoolestLasers]

Good job!

 

[sgtbilkodle]

Thanks y'all. As you can surely tell, I'm more of a function over form kinda guy...lol
Weathered wood might be a challenge, but perhaps some patina'd copper might find it's way into the next build! BTW, I think the finned heatsink is the way to go vs. the heavy mass solid heatsinks. Might not look as pretty but its cheaper and functions better...this thing never gets hot to the touch, is well-balanced and rugged (handles drops on concrete)...goes forever on 3 Tennergy LiFePO4 RCR123A batteries

Very nice! Btw, is that heatsink from anomalytech? I have one looks similar. Keep up the good work!

 

[sgtbilkodle]

Thanks Vanillah; yes the heatsink is from Anomalytech and it works quite well. If you're curious why it's gold instead of black, just take a propane torch to yours and it'll look the same...
