Various questions

[Alessandros]

Hey everyone,
I have a few questions, none of which are particularly specific.
First off, I screwed up a laser build a while ago and the battery shorted through the case, and the tail cap ended up breaking, so I need a new C6 tailcap, preferably for a lot cheaper than a whole new C6. Would this work, or are there cheaper options available?

I know about Survival Laser's tailcap switch for 3$, but 11$ shipping to Canada breaks the deal.

Next, I would really like a case for my lasers. Does anyone know of some nice, large cases that could fit 6 or more lasers, as well as batteries and chargers?

Lastly, I understand that a dummy load is used for modelling a diode, but why a fixed resistor?

Thanks in advance!

The issue is going to be finding someplace that can do free shipping. Which means china. Because the cheapest i can ship to canada is still gonna be over 10 dollars. Hell, I have a C6 which lacks a pill i could send you the whole thing, but shipping will screw you.

WBS if you want to get rid of the C6 then PM me. I have a spare heat sink and need a host for my 405nm build

I just dont have a pill for it, which you will need.

Thanks for the response WBS.
Anyone else have answers to my questions?

The fixed resistor that is low resistance and high wattage is just so that there is a load and you're not just short circuiting your driver through the testing diodes.

14 dollars is cheap if you really like your laser. If the Survival Laser switch will work, I say just go with that. You won't care about spending the money once your laser is working again

As for cases, Pelican cases are very good. But, they cost more than 14 dollars.
