Flame polishing works well on acrylic, just run a butane torch/pencil over the edge. You will get a nice crystal clear finish.

Yeah by the sounds of that shock i think thats what did it, you should be good for your spare as long as you are carefull. If all else fails just do what i did and buy a couple of diodes from senkat. I bought 3 killed one and now have had the second one running for weeks with one spare...

I can't recall if it was the exact same model number, though it does look familliar. Not to mention the bent up heatsink i have in front of me is (was) identical to the one in your photo. As for the death of the diode, i experienced a drop in power shortly before becoming just a dim led. still...

My first diy red was one exactly like this, and believe it or not i managed to get it out of the heatsink intact. I can't recall the order of these steps, but after sucking as much solder off as possible, bending the shit out of the heatsink with two pairs of pliers, and wedging a scalpel...

Payment sent for 2 diodes + international shipping. :D

Thanks for the diagram Daedal, we are all very gratefull for your work. :D

Just a reminder on the circuit diagram, hope you find the time soon, must be busy building them yourself!

This looks different to the circuit you have in the mods section, do you have a schematic for this one? Looking to make a lab style unit for holography and need the output to be as stable as possible.

Thanks for the link, one problem though - Supply voltage: 14 to 16V AC @ 1A I have the old AAs that only put out 1.5 volts :-/ will keep that one in memory for future projects though. :)

Just ordered 3 diodes 8-) Does anyone have a driver circuit that will regulate the output from 2 AA batteries? Might just have to go with the resistor/cap combo. I will likely also build one of Daedal's drivers and put it in another housing as well, would like to have a nice stable output to...

I would also like to know if we can still order these, i just blew the one i pulled from a dvd burner. :( I would be interested in getting 2 or 3.
