Laser tube connection

Is there a prefered inlet and outlet on the laser tube
Or is it irrelevant ?

This is what Bart suggests "The positive side is the mirror side and the ground side is the beam exit side. I run the water from positive side to ground side. I do not know if that matters much. With a good flow the temp difference is not that much"

J45on btw how was dealing with CNC Coletech like, I am thinking of getting my tube from them.

They were ok, not as well packed as the lovehappyshopping tubes but it arrived intact.
I had next to no communication with them and they emailed me my tracking number
About 2 hours before DHL delivered the tube :lol:
Another member on here received a larger diameter laser tube than normal from them I can't remember his name or the outcome of his order.
Hopefully I can use this tube in anger this weekend :D

Edit sorry I forgot to say thank you.

It was me! I would recommend not buying from them. They wouldn't admit they were in the wrong. I had to pay Bart to mill larger holders and I still had to modify those heavily.
