Where You Get Your Parts?

[Xplorer877]

This is kind of a noob question...
What sites are you guys going to, to buy laser components? You know, things like diodes, sleds, heatsinks, and drivers (besides eBay and the forum itself). What are some reviews you have of places you've bought stuff from? I need a 6x and a Flexdrive for ex.

Thanx

they have 7 units in stock

For Electronic parts our main supplier is DigiKey because
we can order a part today before 8:00PM and have the
part in our Shop the next day....
That is from MN USA to Quebec Canada....

What about a Flexdrive? I PMed Dr. Lava but I haven't heard from him.

I contacted drLava a few days ago about some other parts
and haven't got a reply back yet either... :yabbmad:
I hate dealing with sellers that are not on top of things..
They will just loose sales... IMO

if you're willing to wait a week or so shoot morgan a pm in the UK, im sure he has a few flexdrives on hand.

Dr.Lava's FlexDrive order page.
Anyone have a good source for IR filters? Or a better ebay search then this

(BG38,"bg-38",bg39,"bg-39",kg2,"KG-2") (filter,optical,optic,Absorption,808nm,532nm,1064nm) Clicking "Include title and description" will catch more but include many non-related.

If you need something to put your beast laser into, go with Kaidomain.

I found a 2x AA flashlight there that looks like the best host on God's green Earth, 2x duracell AA on boost converter will last fairly long time.

EDIT: And costs $3.50

Yea thats the best I found so far. Price seems good & BG39 has nice transmission curve but I'm still hoping someone has a source for BG38 (or maybe even BG40). Less 808&1064 blocking but a bit more 532 transmission.

In case others are interested seller snoctony may very well re-list this after it ends (in only 2 days).
