Re: F.S. ***MXDL Custom Machined Heatsinks*** I had also stolen my neighbor's hatchet from the shed out back. Looks like I've got to go back to see if he's got a screwdriver. Seriously, I lifted the lid, but didn't see an obvious route to the diode. Thought I'd ask, cause everything else in...

Re: F.S. ***MXDL Custom Machined Heatsinks*** I bet that someone has posted info or even pics on removing diodes from DVD burners. But where? <g> I picked up the Sony, as recommended in this thread. Don't want to complicate things if the process is already outlined. I do have access to a large...

Thanks. There are also the ones from WickedLasers. Doesn't seem to be a big price difference, unless shipping is high: http: // www . wickedlasers.com/lasers/Red_650nm_LaserShades-49-16 . html (How long til I can post links on LPF? That's awkward. I can't even quote a URL in a previous post)

Who are the better vendors for goggles for filtering 650nm? There's an Ebay vendor called ZoneStealth, with an auction here: http: // cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220200274713 (sorry about the spaces...LPF won't allow me to post links yet) Anyone have any idea if those are decent?

Re: ***MXDL Custom Machined Heatsinks*** Jay, Are you recommending the Meredith module over Aixiz? I presume that's cause of the glass lens vs plastic, right?

So you think the power rating is accurate? Please send us a quick note to let everyone know how that works out. I've seen other mention of the seller (Crystallabs)...so positive, some not.

I think this vendor has been selling these on Ebay for a while. Anyone know anything about the diodes? I think the diode is supposed to be J8Y4M4C by Mitsubishi. See Ebay item number: 120222334538 Seller is Crystallabs (Sorry, I guess my lack of seniority prevents me from posting direct links)

Re: MXDL Custom Machined Heatsinks Excellent info. Thanks to all. Looking at Daedal's DIY thread (drilling fender washers, etc), I see why the heatsink makes so much sense, even if it were just for mounting. Jayrob, you should consider making a complete case. A major glitch in making these...

Re: MXDL Custom Machined Heatsinks The heatsink looks nice. Great idea. Q's about parts: Gazoo, your list says $45 for the Meredith module. The LDC-2 is $35, right? Did you have some other module in mind? Also (anyone?), what is the best source for a High-power diode? Is it really necessary...

Re: Source for Compact portable, hi-watt under $10 Thanks to all for the recommendations. I did check the link (had to delete it from my reply...seems I can't post links yet). The Kenom page looks interesting, but didn't have much detailed info (didn't say what kind of battery is used, or...

Anyone have any recommendations for sources for Red portables, 150mw or more, under $100? Hopefully something with decent diode longevity (which diode brands? Senkat?) Thanks
