    Diode not working when inside heatsink

    Hi everyone. I feel like Im making an obvious mistake somewhere but its been over a month since I've worked on this build because of the delay on shipment of my 32600 batteries. I am using Jayrobs 2D Mag heatsink inside my host with an LM317 DDL and a red diode. I tested the load and all is...

    received 2 different color aixiz lenses??

    Hi everyone, I was hoping for a little insight from the people who know their lenses here. I received a "glass" lens when i ordered from aixiz the first time and the glass lens was cross-threaded slightly. They were really helpful and sent me a new one quickly, however, the second one was...

    Why are there no protected 32600s??

    I've looked up and down on the net and it seems everyone else is having trouble with this as well, but why cant I find any protected 32600 cells?? The only site that sold them (one other also linked them) says they are sold out... does that mean they are trash? They just sold them like crazy...

    why not LM317 instead of Flexdrive?

    I was just browsing around and happened to stumble upon some 1.25A - 1.5A 445s on here and noticed a bunch of people debating what to use for drivers. Some were saying why not use a LM338 or LM317 instead of, for example, a FlexmodP3.... the argument was mainly that the driver had other safety...

    pot before or after resistor?

    About to get all my goodies in to make a DDL driver. Thought i had all my thoughts together when I just hit a kink. I've become unsure if I should put my pot right after the LM317 and before the resistor(s) like in this guide that so many people mention to beginners : Laser driver - It can be...

    My LD barely glows

    I've tried to hook up a LD to a small DC wire from a PSU that generates only 3.4 volts. I assume it's relatively safe since it's a low voltage. When I plug it in and hit the switch though, it glows but not near as bright as it should. Surely I couldn't have LED'd my LD from that little power...

    What does TTL really do?

    Hi everyone, I'm very wet behind the ears here. Working on my first laser build now. Red diode powered by 5v input from old PSU. I purchased an AixiZ driver and come to realize that some were having issues with the driver. Firstly, what is transistor-transistor logic and how do you use it? I...
