The heatsink won't sit??

[Deleted member 22482]

Hello!

I'm creating new threads after each other but I thought that it can be helpful for people who are looking for the same thing and I couldn't find anyone with the same problem.

I have bought a Just add Diode kit from Mohrenberg (a C6) and the problem I have is that I can't focus it! Whenever I spin the focus, the heatsink starts spinning aswell. I have not soldered wires yet and I won't until this is fixed, because or else the wires will break everytime I focus the laser... This is no matter at what position the focus adapter starts at.

I got 2 black rings made of plastic, are these for it? Where do I put them? When I put them just around the heatsink, it just goes up when I screw on the retaining ring..

Thanks.

Is your lens cross-threaded in the diode module?

You can also use aluminium foil around the sink, like I did in 2010.

I put the o-ring or whatever they are called below the point where the heatsink goes out a bit and it now works.

Thanks!
