Re: Tutorial - Easy MXDL 'Side Button' Laser Build

What lens should I buy for this? (I will be using an Aixiz housing and a Blu-ray diode.) Aixiz acrylic?

Also, what power level would you suggest it at?  I've heard that everywhere between 100 and 150 mA would be the limit for longevity and power; but I'm not sure.  120mA maybe?  130?  

-Mark

Yes

Peace,
dave

Yes for all? 120mA and Aixiz acrylic?

Where can I order an Aixiz acrylic?

Thanks,
Mark

Yes. Any of your potential choices will work. The AiziX module should come with an acrylic lens already.

Peace,

I have been waiting patiently for weeks for sku.5387 to become available, and it still has not! There is no back-ordered until __ date either! It just says, "Item is temporarily sold out." Does anyone know what this means and how long it should be until it comes in?

Re: Tutorial - Easy MXDL 'Side Button' Laser Build

I have given up all hope...Every website I have gone to has been sold out.

I am just going to order heatsinks for the new Viclight sidebutton Jayrob has posted...Noteing my mistake that I need to have the hosts ordered and SHIPPED before I order the heatsinks built specifically for that host...

One benefit to the Viclight host..Its shipped from inside the US and sometimes you can find them in local stores for 5-7 bucks.

If the MXDL 5387's ever come back in stock maybe I'll order a few and build them.

I recommend anyone else do the same...

I think if you are really nice to jay he'll let you ship the 5387 heatsinks back and he'll mod them to fit the new host for no extra charge...But I wouldn't blame him for taking his sweet time for helping those who ordered the heatsinks without having the hosts we all knew were getting low in stock months ago.

Re: Tutorial - Easy MXDL 'Side Button' Laser Build

Noooo! 5387 AND 5095 are both gone!

Is this the same one?

Checked the policy on the last one. Apparently, it is a wholesale site and shipping would be expensive.

What about this one? Is it the same? (Even the silver ones jayrob posted are sold out.)

Yes, that one from LED Shoppe looks like the same thing... Won't know for sure until I try it, but it looks right...

Re: Tutorial - Easy MXDL 'Side Button' Laser Build

I ordered one yesterday. I will post pictures of the inside and outside when I get it. While not as cheap as the DX hosts, it still has the same benefits of being easy and a good build, and it's not too overpriced either.

Re: Tutorial - Easy MXDL 'Side Button' Laser Build

I added a couple of more sources for these hosts on the first post...

If you find any more sources, please post!

Re: Tutorial - Easy MXDL 'Side Button' Laser Build

Great! I wish I had known about that last source...it's a good bit cheaper than the one at LED Shoppe! Thanks for the sources!

FYI: Gadgets direct is out of stock on these.  I placed an order and then was told that his supplier was out of stock.  I requested a refund to my paypal and he promptly refunded the full amount.  
This is the link that I had used:

I placed an order for two of these, we'll see if they're the same.  It seems that they too are ordering from a supplier so I'll keep my fingers crossed on their stock.  For two shipping to the US was about $7. Less than $30 total.  I really wish DX would get them back as szwholesale (which I think is the same as the quality china goods seller that has since removed the item from their site) seems to be our only shot right now and their not nearly as inexpensive. :-/
