labby heatsinks-what features would you want?

If the front of the both mounts has a mark that should get me close right? As long has both marks are 90 degrees out?

You can always get one of these kits if you want ot combine beams . But you can also use a 1/2 wave plate on a MM1 style mount to change the polarization of the laser diode, but of course with every optic used there are losses .

I already machined the mount. I bought a PBS from CTlasers to combine the two beams. This is what I have so far. I still need to machine the bounce mirror and the PBS holder.

Now that is a very sexy mount! IMHO 1/2 wave plate is lossey two ways optically & financially, which is not necessary, yes you can do it, but 1/2 wave plates are expensive.

The only solution is to press the diode into a round mount that can be rotated if you plan on combining beams in a PBS. Hand rotating is easy to dial in pretty well if you have a good precise meter. You need the ability to rotate the assembly in the "likely" event that your diode will not be pressed in perfectly.

which one of these do you guys like better or does it matter?

Export the PDF to a JPG for starters. What is the beam height? Does it have tapped holes for a Flexmod? Where Can I mount a TEC, no flat surface so no good place. I am not trying to put you down, just point a few things out.

the hs will be tapped for flexmods and threaded for m4 on the bottom. this is just a general shape idea...
