A 6 diode 445nm build :)

[dave]

would you actually need a waveplate? can't you just rotate some diodes for h-pol and the others for v-pol?

Yeah, it makes it much easier to build and align

I like the set, but to supplement it with 1/2wp, and PBS would be great

Unfortunately the set is supplied without the wave-plate or PBS..

OK, here goes

Price wise, I would be looking for $295USD plus shipping.

The kit would include:

Aluminium base plate (anodised )
6 brass diode housings
6 mirror mounts and mirrors
A mount for the wave plate, and all screws.

What you would need to supply would be:

6 o-like lenses
6 445nm diodes
drivers( 2 flexmods will do all 6 diodes )
a 1/2 wave plate (p1t8ull will be doing a group buy soon )
a pbs cube
optional tec and driver

wow thats not bad at all...

I wish you would reconsider making a cover for it though

I think that will happen - I reckon ill be putting some time into it over Christmas

[flecom]

ya I think I would find a way to buy 2 from you... time to sell my soul to work again lol

think these would go nicely on my mobolazers

it would be really sweet if you made room for corrective optics too but now I am just getting greedy

[flecom]

what are the dimensions of the module?

[dave]

what are the dimensions of the module?

The aluminium base plate in the pictures was 80mm x 140mm

Corrective optics is a bit of a tough one. since stacking 3 diodes side by side means a beam ~4mm wide, expanding it is going to mean it gets bigger.

A cost effective cover would be what Lava has done with his dual modules using a dicast aluminium box

ya I was thinking something like that... but then we need to find an appropriately sized box

something like a BUD enclosure or something
