A fan from a computer will not do. It will be too weak if the radiator is small. This one is super powerful and I guarantee it will handle even a small radiator. I use these heatsinks and they work great with this fan
For Delta PFC0612DE 12V 1.68A 6038 6CM 60MM high speed cooling fan...
Yes, you have to remove all the stuff on the board. This driver says it's 4.5A, but it's actually 3.5A. It can easily be modified at what amperage to run by changing resistors. It has a soft start and three operating modes. The driver is very good and stable.
Hello. Now I see what you wrote. The driver who is on the lantern must remove all the element and destroy it. You just need a pair of pliers and I remove all the components with it. Then I solder the minus and the plus. This converter will do the job, but you won't be able to use it because...
I don't know exactly how this host is built, but I've taken apart off-the-shelf lasers and it's not that easy to take apart without damaging anything on the driver and diode. It wouldn't hurt to upload a few pictures to better see how to take it apart.
I don't have that much experience and knowledge in this field. I just have experience with certain diodes and have used a variety of converters so far and have had no problems with any of them. Yesterday I mistakenly ran 4.7A on a NUGM06 green diode and it is alive after that. I have set them...
I have experience with blue NUBM0E at 3.5A with driver from Aliexpress. They light up without problems for 5 hours without interruption. Of course with fan. My point is that modern diode
last a lot longer than years ago. I put 5 seconds of 7.5A on NUBM0F and it is alive. Poor cooling is...
Okay, I understand that you follow what's going on too fastidiously. But what negative effect will that have on the diode when most people use laser pointers for short cycles. I have tested all kinds of converters from Aliexpress and they all work very well with laser diodes. None were damaged.
