To get a decent hole, you will need to drill a smaller "pilot-hole", then drill a hole about .010" (.25mm), under your desired finished hole-size, and then finish-up with a reamer. You want to end-up with a hole that is fairly close to 12mm, (.472") which is the nominal Aixiz-Module size. BTW...

monocular and binoculars work well, but they usually have extra lenses and prisms to correct the image. These extra-optics rob more of your laser-power, but still work well. As a side note, when I first got into lasers, I actually paid $15 for these very plans from E-bay. It turned out it was a...

I have built many lasers using a stripped AMC-driver from DX, as I know many others have. The problem is that the heatsinks for my Sliver (Cree C3) and most other 1xaa-sized hosts are only a tiny-bit larger than the AMC-board, which makes for a paper-thin section on the back-end of the heatsink...

I am looking for some 14mm-15mm (.550"-.600") diameter contact-boards for my heatsinks. These would just need to be simple round-boards with a copper-pad in the middle to contact the battery-anode. even better would be to have a small-hole near the pad in the middle to solder a wire to the...

I know I already posted that the diode-press tools I bought from Pyro looked great when I received them last week, but I was able to use them this weekend, holy-cow!!! They work really great. I would go so far as to say that if you are planning on pressing more than 2-diodes... ever, you...

Fantastic job. What do you use for switching of the tank-cap, SCR, MOSFET, spark-gap?

Niko, That is the funniest thing I have ever seen on LPF, great job, made my day!

I have not had much time to play with this module much latley, I did take a couple interesting pictures of while running, you can see the IR pretty well. Thought it may be interesting. I have decided that the LD-driver is not functioning properly, gets very hot, quickly and begins to drop it's...

I have considerd this very thing many times over the last-year. I think you are on the right track, same as I was thinking anyhow. I was also going to add a dedicated panel-voltmeter, so you wouldn't need a multimeter. This is how I have my power-meter set-up, but I followed someone elses...

I would take two :) Are there pictures of the whole-host?

Like has been said, I am sure it is worth the time to collect it. A nice Nitogen-laser would be fun, and if nothing else, there must be a decent HV-supply in there...Tesla anyone? In the home-built ones, the cavity is open to the surrounding-air, hence the "nitrogen", not sure about...

Wow, that seams like quite a deal!

What kind of power-supply do you guys use to charge the pulse-cap/s. I am using the original SSY-1 900v cap and trigger-board. -Barry

Wow, that went fast. I guess I need to learn to type faster! I could really use a 2W with FAC for my 473 build too, 7mW is not quite enough! Props to you man!!

In My Aries-style host I am getting 7mW/CW of 473nM from 1.2W of 808. At 1W of 808, it barley lases at about .5mW of 473nM. You will be pulsing the diode so maybe a 1W would work, (pulsed to 1.5-1.75W maybe). I know in replacing my diode with a 2W, I have been told that larger C-mount diodes...

Hey Mike, I couldn't find these on Ebay for more details. What kind of patterns does it make, sound-activated squiggles or spiro-patterns, ? How much was it? Nice find!

Styro, Does the Diode have the same little retaining-ring that the 532-module use to hold in the diode? I really like this feature for heatsinking to this critical-area. May be worth buying, just to use the module for a high-power 405 pen-build. It will be interesting to see how high this...

Wow, looks nice. Does the host seam to be "solid" aluminum or a sheet-metal, hard to tell with the knurling on the back.

For a Star-Trek fan, they would be a must-have. Even though I am not, it has got me to thinking of useing one of my old aluminum 45-gripframes from a paintball-gun to build a 8x in a "gun-config" maybe with thumb-adjustable focus and power-setting. It is unexpectedly fun to "shoot" Nice work Pat...
