NUBM05 Full Copper

[Lifetime17]

Hi ,
Just sharing this build with all of you folks, here is a full copper heat sink and focus adapter i incorporated a battery tube extension so it will take two 18650's instead of two 18350's. The G ball is still intact and the SXD is set to 4A with 24gauge silicone wire through out the connections. I also took the lens out of a barrel of a spare i had so i could use the focus adapter to finish off the sink and keep the G ball clean of dust and dirt.Well hope you will enjoy the show folks.

Nice build, Rich! With all that heavy copper, you can also strengthen your wrist muscles while using your laser.

Nice 05 build, that's a powerhouse 5.3 watts. That will lite your hair on fire. Bet you'll get some nice run times with that copper sink, nicely done . :gj:

Hi BM,
Yes its a real burner and the sinking is awesome on runtime but i really don't run any of my builds very long anyway. I tested the Gball out on my bench and it did set it on fire with in 5 seconds, The copper sink puts some heft to it but its all good buddy.

Hi, just an update with fully charged 18650's quite a jump in output, the first pic is wth a lower charge on the cells, and the second is at full charge

So the 05 has a good beam out of the gball? I thought it was like the 07. Are you keeping the gball intact?

Edit: what's the inside of the bezel look like? I ask because I might like a P nP like this but use a Blackbuck 8A driver. You know where I'm going with this

Hi D,
There is tons of room inside you can fit 2 VW's and a Fiat in there. Yes the Gball is still on the diode , i took an old lens and just used the barrel so i could still use the focus adapter to make it look great and not to leave the Gball hanging out looking like a cyclops

Very nice.
I am thinking about some GBall builds, a quad build would look pretty sweet built like a 4 barrel pistol and maybe some singles with large home made expanders.

Good looking build.

hi Red,
I always liked the G ball diodes A quad would be awesome and a lot of work but worth it.
Thank you for the compliment buddy always welcome
