NOTE: I'm not sure, but it might be appropriate to also just get the thumbs up from Ray if you want to do the same thing. Or even better, ask him to reproduce one for you ?

okay, I didn;t even realize that was the wf-503.

 

[bhwollen]

Ah, I like to have my own one one of a kind hosts.

 

[Ray J Neal]

Ha you guys are awesome. Is my work really that good? Thanks :beer:!

EDIT:
Photos removed. Looks like we got some copy cats trying to have my intellectual designs copied by another member.

For anyone who likes DIYing their own drivers, this ^ is an especially awesome heatsink design. Lots of room to arctic silver an IC to the main diode heatsink - and that heatsink is big enough to take a lot of thermal transfer.

 

[Ray J Neal]

Sorry guys. Heatsink pictures have been removed. If anyone has questions about the heatsink design, please contact by PM. Again, I apologize.

Hey R, you know this thread will need updating in about a week, right? :beer:

 

[rhd]

Lol, it may take me a week or so after the next beaties arrive, just to figure out how to build my DIY drivers in.... What? About half a square inch ?

I think I can do every wavelength with a tiny 1117, except 445 ::thinking;

rhd, I am curious about your experience with the 405 and 1085 combo. Is the 1085 still supplying the full current when your batteries go low? I have played quit a bit with the 1085s myself and I would expect with an 405 diode at a high current setting the current might drop when the voltage goes below ~7.5V. Does this match your experience?

I couldn't tell you - to be honest. I never run my batteries low. In fact, I don't think I've ever drained a battery from laser use. It's probably the OCD - forcing me to charge cells constantly.

Here is a 14650 three piece host turned down from 1" diameter stock.

It may be available for purchase. I am undecided ATM. It will be a piece of history, my first completed host that I've decided to post up.

 

[rhd]

Ray, am I crazy, or do I see a little blemish in that second photo?

Couldn't be - that's not like you! ;p

 

[Ray J Neal]

Nah. Left over polish.
