FW3A, a TLF/BLF EDC flashlight - SST-20 available, coupon codes public

And for the more sci-fi folks we have the
FW3DM - Dark Matter
You have to keep it in a vacuum suspension chamber next to your Uranium and Plutonium models underneath your volcano evil lair.

We are currently 3D printing wear parts from these metals at my place of employment.
Stellite is quite popular for use in caustic environments.

:smiley: :sunglasses: :wink:

Yeah we use it for reactor plant valve seals and some turbine parts. I got to do some work with sintered parts as well a while back and we made some stuff from sintered Tungsten and ceramic with Molybenemum. Surface finish requirements were sub 20 RA using a Mitsubishi wire EDM and a tolerance of -+ 0.0001. What a flashlight that would make huh?

Hum…shouldn’t this be called…FW3FIRE? :smiley: :smiling_imp:

I would like to purchase one LH351D

I’d like to get in on this light, thanks!

In for one XP-L HI 3D

I’d like 1 as well. Whichever LED is available first. Thanks!

Probably so. :smiley: . :+1: . :wink:

no need for lithium cells , run it on dark energy.

FW3Ga

Galluim

Better have a VERY quick stepdown!!!

You joke, but what about a GaN FET driven flashlight. I figure if its good enough for chargers, why not flashlights?

I’m surprised it’s not yet on the list…FW3Be

and some get FW3A1A (1th aprill ed)

I would like a FW3CH in bakelite

with a nice touch of plaskon

Would add a playskool version with bright colors to detect flashlight modders at an early age

Or more seriously something like the EverBrite 9-LED 3AAA :person_facepalming:

And now for something completely different….
There are 2 materials that are not the most practical out there but one is practical enough to have a niche and the other - I don’t know but maybe.

1. Beryllium copper. High conductivity CuBe has good thermal properties and is much tougher than pure copper. Machining requires seriously good ventilation though.
2. Magnesium. Thermally - ok to good. Mechanically - passable. Weight - superb. Price - high but way lower than some exotics. Corrosion is a problem. Is it a blocker that can’t be resolved well enough for a reasonable price? I don’t know.

Put me down for one please, thank you!

Thanks everyone for listing all the materials in the world. That was very relevant to this thread and useful.

Right? It has been painful trying to keep up with this thread as of late.

Please add me to the list for 2 additional lights for a total of 4.

Thanks.

Agreed. Adding zero value to the thread — the posts should be removed. It’s already long enough, lets get back to the product discussion at hand.
