Re: The MagicStick V2 - A Custom Host Did you get my e-mail?

The best argument I have is for engraving, If I had a 1.8w 445, I would use it for that all the time. -Cam Edit: Another niche use, If you often go hiking, you could use a high powered laser as a safety device for if you get lost. Search parties would not have any trouble finding you if they...

Yup, I was thinking about that one, I am also down for one of the magic sticks if when they are made, I really like this style of host, It would be nice to get one with the very small fins. The other problem I just thought of, is that these probably won't fit an aixiz module. Any way we could...

When I say professional, I mean the type you see on high power hand-helds from places like CNI and Laserglow. Like these - http://www.cnilaser.com/PDF/PGL-III_-C_-532.pdf Laserglow Technologies - Handheld Lasers, Alignment Lasers and Lab / OEM Lasers Hulk Ultra Series 350mW Green Handheld...

I might be interested in 20g of the gallium

darn, well if you can get more, I would be down for one if it aids the heat-sink well. -Cam

I am in the market for a new host for a 445nm. How is the lab looking host for heat sinking? What is the duty cycle of the 445's you have built in them.

Re: MagicStick - The new 2012 custom host If its going to be that much of a hassle don't bother. It's not something I really need, was just wondering if its a possibility.

Re: MagicStick - The new 2012 custom host Do you think it would be possible to machine these with a key switch?

Re: MagicStick - The new 2012 custom host Dang, these look good put me down for two.

I was thinking about how I would do this the other day. What if you just took the lens off? Couldn't it then pass as more of a flashlight than a laser? Even if they did turn it on they would only get a really bright colored flashlight instead of an actual beam. I would still keep the...

I ruled out pocket lint when I took the lens off and the output still looked wrong, as no lint could get under the threads of the lens. I blew it out with canned air anyway though, but its still the same. UPDATE: I have now discovered as I rotate my pen, the output changes, what does this mean?

This is one of the Super over specs from swim's pen shop. I was great until I put it in my pocket for a while and now the beam in very messed up. Here is the un-colaminated light. Anyone have any idea what's wrong? I don't have another too compare it to. Also this was taken with decently...

Can I still get in on this?

I got my new diode today, and everything works great! I lit a green match as almost as soon as I hits the right spot on the focus. I also cut the outer body of the wooden host I am making, and that looks great too. I will post pics when I am done

I am using a Groove 2 with two fully charged 16340's I set it back. to 110 ma, and I remember when I first turned it on, I thought whoa that's bright, then it turned off for a second, then turned back on, and I don't think it is as bright now. I don't think I killed it soldering, because I only...

Some gold pen hosts popped up on Cajun lasers here today, if thats what your looking for.

Re: Swim's NEW Overspec 5mW Pen Shop *IN STOCK* How visible are the beams of the ones people have LPM'ed at 70mW? I can see the beam well at night, and [I]barely[I] see it in a dimly let room. Just trying to figure out if I should buy another or not :P

Yep I will in a while, Its acctually just batteries, wires and module right now, but in a few days I am going to start making my own host on the lathe! When I am finished with that I will make a post for sure, as I have only seen one other wooden host :D

Well I have tried again, I put it down to 110mA and shorted the leads, and its still the same. I am still happy though because this is my very first build, and I set my expectations low. And it still makes a sweet violet pointer too! On the other hand, I am only out 10$, and in a few days I...
