Ordered a 561nm 5mw laser module. Need help with build ideas.

Contact Flaminpyro or Eudaimonium for a custom heat sink.... and remember the dpss module is not case neutral..(find the out wether the module is case + or -

According to Eforce it's case +.

so negative end to the driver i presumed ?

Yeah that would make sense. I've contacted flamingpyro to see if he can machine a heatsink for this.

well there's also copied PLE pro host for sale on fleebay...(give your self a 561nm ple pro)?

then Jetlaser might start producing them lolz....

If it has an 808nm pump it is case +

Um I don't know if that will work or not for this module

Your pest bet its just find someone to make a 15mm Host.

Thanks. Little expensive to use for a host though. I wish I'd kept my old laserglow ares-35. This module might have fit in that.

I bet someone has a GLP host spare Laying around Worst case why not put out a Want to buy in the BST thread.

You mite just find a cheap aluminum flashlight to gut. Then have someone machine a heat sink to fit that.
I've found a few that I bought for under $10 (including battery and charger) just to practice making heat sinks for.

15mm ebay pen... a search and lot's of them pop up..

Crazy idea here. I have a 5-6 year old 473nm blue RPL which is basically SUPER obsolete. It has bad stability problems and takes like 2 minutes to warm up before it puts out any kind of meaningful output. I'm kinda wondering if the 561nm module would fit inside of it. Ideally I'd keep the 473 module intact and then make some kind of lab laser with it. The RPL host takes 18650's, but I could possibly use a single non rechargeable CR123 3V cell with spacers. Thoughts?

 

[Razako]

Well, I think I've got the host issue figured out. The circular piece of aluminum in the middle is the heatsink that the RPL used. I just need to put a 15mm hole through it, put the module in and then screw the heatsink back into the RPL body. With any luck I'll just need to solder the switch wires again and then figure out how to space a single 3V CR123 into the case which usually takes 18650's. Not much to do now but wait for my 561 module to arrive. Sorry blue RPL, you'll be remembered. I kept the crystal assembly for whatever it's worth.
