pressing my diode

What is the inside diameter of the brass portion? That looks like a great, low cost solution to the problem.

I'll get that to you within a few days, don't have a caliper on me. It works great and puts the diode in slightly more than flush without bending the pins.

You can just buy a back part of an aixiz module. I could send you one for the cost of shipping :/.

The problem with those is they tend to get bent

Ive never had a problem using the back of a module before. Never have I bent one. :thinking:

Just remember if you use an Aixiz back half they will not countersink the diode. This will mean less thermal conductivity and you can run into issues trying to use single element lenses.:beer:
