Well let’s broaden the topic and make it also a space for future projects a d debate about them.

The project list:

Q8, soda can light, 4 3V LEDs, FET+1 Narsil driver, 4P 18650.
nearing completion

GT, monster thrower, 1 12V LED, 1 or 2 X 4S 18650
Design housing send to contact, second iteration driver board desiged, first proto driver to be made.
Long way from completion

FW3A, single 18650 EDC triple, ! not open for debate yet !
in the works of starting, driver clear, talking to Chinese party to have it made,

Q4
Baby Q8, 4 x AA OR 14500 (challenge here is driver)

Q16
Quad XHP35HI from 2S2P 26650
Challenge here is driver

Zoomie , nothing clear just that a nice zoomie is something I like to help create.
Maybe based on Fritz15 design so this looks very nice IMHO:

Didn’t know where to post it
Of course no commercial intention but because of the subject placed it here.

Hi Wim,
It may complicate things, and there may not be a great wish for it, but is it possible to dedicate a donation to a specific project? I for one do not care much for the BLF-thrower but do like to see a Q4 being developed. I understand that it all averages out between the projects so in practice it will not matter much , but it would make me feel better, just a bit, so it is not all that important.

Hi, Miller! Donation incoming…

It didn’t occur to me that Q-team members would need to spend their own money during the Q8’s development.

Thank you again to everyone for their efforts! :+1:

+1 Although I wouldn’t mind the funds being used “as needed” for whichever project needed it, still would be nice to be able to designate to help push a specific project along.

Do you prefer the funds in USD or EUR?

Trying to contribute right now and PP is asking. If I don't hear back shortly (near the end my lunch break), I will specify USD.

Done… sent US$’s

Wow funds incoming
Thanks
Yes add project to note with username and I will put it there in the OP
No project named it is for the general fund.
Wow thanks!

Oh yeah please USD so Paypal keeps in as balance just where it is needed, I changed buying with a h PayPal to our family PayPal a couple of weeks ago for ease to keep track so my PayPal is only used for this now

+1 Q4 like mk41?
And pls start a GAW like for SB last year. It is funny , brings money and the time to wait for Q8 runs faster.

  • I want to win 8 batteries for the Q -

I chunked a little that way to help along with what ever

I also like the future projects. Maybe even a headlamp or something like that.

I for one am glad you asked… BLF is the future of much of the cutting edge open hardware/source for a good while to come. If we can help further development, we probably should. And, we will make Miller rich$$$ :slight_smile:

Thanks Miller for your efforts and the efforts of your entire team.

No Matt, thank you, heart warming to see donations coming in, will update OP later.

Sent some coin your way Miller
Good job Team Q8

Can’t help much with the development, but at least can support with this.

Thanks
Will put it all in a spreadsheet
Notes for which project are clear and those donations will be put at the project
