Okay, so I've seen a LOT of great homemade or DIY drivers out there offered by the LPF community, especially Moh, but none of them have continuous negative/positive, so using the case pin is a no-no.
So, my question is this: how would I set up say, a C6 host with one of these drivers so that the driver isn't shorted by the case? Assuming I was going to do something along the lines of:
How would I make this work? Simply not solder the case pin to the negative? Yes, I have protective eyewear on the way, and I won't even start the build until I have them. Yes, I will practice safe lasing with this laser. Let the helping begin! :san::san::san:
EDIT: Some changes I will be making from the video's tutorial include using a diode press tool instead of the aixiz back, and I won't be ordering a "drilled pill" host from RayJob, just the machined flat one (so the whole host becomes the driver heatsink.)
