Update: Thanks to Eudaimonium for machining these for me. :friend: Very nicely done at a good price. Thanks for looking. David Hi, I need a pair of direct fit alum. heat sinks made up, one for a 5.6mm diode, and the other for a 9mm diode. I have a sketch with the dimensions, hopefully...

Hi Morgan and Troops. Sorry for the delay in replying, trying to get to grips with Win 7 and a different browser, et cetera. It is a back up for when the 12X goes, but when I do use it, I will be setting the current at 450mA. I do not have access to an LPM, so I cannot say what the power out...

Hi Morgan, Package arrived today, in good shape. :gj: Were you eating curry at the time of packing ??? Thanks for organising this GB, Morgan. Best wishes David

Hi All, There are at least two different O-Like blu-ray drivers. @ Dan39, the images you have provided are a different driver to the one Kylemiller1994 was asking about. It has a push button momentary switch on the board, the driver in the images you provided did not. That one pictured looks...

Hi Kyle I can confirm iknitsteel2990's findings. I thought that mine was DOA when I tested it as the O-Like illustrations. When I tested Iknitsteel's instructions, viola !! (:thanks:) I tested the driver and it went right up to 350 mA and the coil started to de-solder itself.... Below 240...

Hi All, I have finally joined the 445 nm club.. :wave: First, acknowledgments: DrLava for the Micro Boostdrive, :thanks: JayRob for the pocket mini kit, and the custom copper heatsink, :thanks: Scopeguy20 for the 445 nm diode, and the Aixiz lens. :thanks: The driver is set to 842 mA and I...

Hi Morgan, I have just set my microboost for the 445 nm diode I received from Scopeguy20 (Glenn :thanks:) and I used the Rkcstr test load. On the RED setting, the DMM reading was 854 mV, whilst using the the same battery and driver without altering the pot, the BLUE setting on the test load the...

Hi Glenn, Package arrived today :thanks: Excellent, I can join in the 445 nm fun..... :beer: Best wishes David

It is an ex diode. It has gone to meet it's maker. It is no more. :cryyy: best wishes David

@ jander6442, Thanks for the tip, I have been looking for some epoxy putty for a while unsuccessfully, and it seems like a better idea than the glue I used. It was meant to have a 5 minute setting / handling time, but it was still too runny... My efforts to acquire some more epoxy putty ( I...

Hi again, forgot to say how surprised I was with regard to the sled being plastic rather than cast aluminium. Best wishes David

Hi, sorry for the delay, but have suffered hard drive failure, so I got this one out of a broken laptop (I cannot yet quite get the partioning correct), and also my wife is at home at the moment so hobbies take a lower priority than other things she wants done around the house... Right...

It's just arrived. :D The sled, I mean :na: Will be finishing off the build later on. Best regards David

When I have finished my other projects, (a 445 nm, and a 2 watt 9mm red) I will have 5 builds I would like to ascertain the output power of, and I was going to try to hook up with someone over here that has an LPM, thanks best wishes David

I ordered one on the 15th of July, it was posted on the 20th of July, but I have not received it yet. :scowl: I have a pocket mini kit, 405-g1 lens and microboost set at 418 mA waiting for it... :D Alas, I do not have a power meter. regards David
