Not generally one to toot my own horn as it were, but since I plan on selling this laser in the near future, I figured i'd let people oogle it. 
This is one of the prototype copper heatsinks I made when trying to figure out just what I wanted to go with.
The host is a Tank007 HC-128 18650 flashlight.
Here it is loaded out with the 12x, and a microboost set at 550mA and 405-g-1 lens. I had sharpied the knurling on the focus ring I made since I wasn't happy with the finish after knurling it, and I wanted to see how it looked contrasting the copper. That's what prototypes are for after all, experimenting! heh.
Here it is after I sanded the knurling down a little. I think I like this look best.. although before I sell it, i'll dissolve the sharpie off of it, the paint the knurling an olive green the same color as the host, then sand the high spots again. I think that will give the best look.
And lastly, what most people probably want to see.
Doing 785mW, and the beam shot was taking with no smoke, just a long exposure.
