Darn... well, let's hope I'm home whenever they come to my door. Did any of you guys pay taxes or any extra charges?

Hmm... well I ordered it via the cheapest option :P so probably and hopefully they'll just leave it in the mailbox.

I"m wondering, whenever you buy something from them, do they knock at your door to give you the package? or do they just leave it in the mail? I ordered a 150mw cute greenie, got shipped on the 11th of july, still waiting :P P.S I live in canada.

Alright thanks for the info, I've lowered the current and made a temporary heatsink, using a bag and cold water :P works great! keeps the module at about 5 degrees all the time. P.S. what about the use of rechargable batteries? is it bad? I use Nimh

Yeah I guess I should stop using it until I get proper heatsinking for the diode, by the way even if I use the diode for short periods of time, for about 30secs, is it still bad for the diode? I touch the module every now and then, and it only get warm, not hot, I can touch it and I'll just feel...

Hello LPF member! A few days ago I built a red laser pointer, I used a groove 2 driver I set it in the high current setting, and turn the pot all the way up, the laser is amazing, I'm using 3 AAA batteris with 850mAh in series, which gives me 3.6V in total. So now i'm wondering, how long does a...

Alright, so here are the images of how my build would look like, sorta, I'm still missing the cooling fan, and the laser diode obviously. http://img186.imageshack.us/i/imagen261w.jpg/ So this is the main body, where the Aixiz module is located, I will put on top of the module, a DC fan, in order...

yes! I get it now :D I will post some pictures of how my build is going to be, but I'll do so as soon as I get off summer school (going ahead sucks!). I have an aluminum heat sink, but it's quite big, and mine isn't a handheld laser, more like a portable laser :) because of the huge heat sink...

Awesome!, makes perfect sense now, I shall buy some of those powerful Li-ion Batteries. Last question, it is a must to have some heatsinking for the laser diode right? otherwise the life of the laser might be shortened. Also if I add extra heat dissipation, am I able to raise the current to the...

Awesome thanks a lot Stuart! By the way, what does it mean when you say that a battery yield 140mAh or 2400mAh? It means it can yield that much current if the lod requires it? or that with any load it yield 2400mAh? Thanks a lot again, and I"m still waiting for my diode to get to Canada :yh:

Hello doctor lava, a few weeks ago I purchased one of your groove 2 drivers, I must say I'm eased with it ablot! I'm planning on building a 405nm laser with it, the diode comes from a PHRT unit and I just wanted to ask how much voltage I should be using for the diode? Will a 9v battery work...
