the o ring from where the top of the host screws on to the body of the host? :-?

what about keeping the heat sink from sliding out of the end of the host once it is all assembled? i'm guessing apply some thermal adhesive also?

alright, thanks guys.. i havent received my flex drive or my dorcy yet, but i did get my fullbody heat sink, (thanks dark horse!! :) ) as i look at the heatsink its hard for me to imagine that once the flex drive is soldered onto the LD, and the flexdrive is soldered to a spring,isnt going to...

ah hah! got it lol thanks for the help again, just need to do a few soldering projects before im ready to try and solder my diode and flexdrive. one more question to clear things up. what do i do with the - on the flex drive where the - from the battery will go? sorry for all the noob questions...

thanks DH :) But this "case pin" is apart of the host? and i bend over to - pin of the diode and solder? and im not sure if i understand how the driver will ground through the heatsink.. but im ordering my heatsinks, dorcy, and driver today so i can get this puppy running. thanks for the help...

i know i know enough with all the dorcy jr questions!! and i did read other threads about this build, but this is my first build so i thought id make sure id get it right!! maybe i just wasnt clear about the other threads, but im planning on putting the blu-ray in a dorcy.. i ordered the blu-ray...

AH HA!! i may have found the problem.. the window is in tact and does not move, but when i look really closely at the window, there is a very small black speck on the glass.. it looks like it might have been from when the plastic for the lens nut was cut out a little bigger for the thicker beam...

alrighty, the lens is in the right way (two notches in the black plastic that holds the lens pointing out) the lens is clean inside and outside, nothing on or in the diode housing, im positive its in straight i was very carful not to cross thread the fragile plastic threads on what i now know as...

well im new to this hobby, and i decided to buy a 405nm Blu Ray PHR-803T Laser diode in an Aixiz Laser Module with a Rkcstr Micro-Drive Adjustable Laser Driver from hightechdealz.com. as soon as i powered her up i began focusing, and right away i got it to burn a cardboard box, light white...
