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.
Hi, welcome to BLF where we try to maintain a fun, family atomsphere and actually enjoy ourselves. You must want that other place…
I’m absolutely positive, even with the higher number of fun, off topic posts as of late that it will be VERY CLEAR when the light gets released. Absolutely no doubt in my mind the “it’s ready to order” post will be buried by pages and pages of “ordered one” posts within literally minutes of it being released and no one will complain about those “posts of zero value”. I imagine TK / the fw3a team realize that and would update the OP/thread title or even make a new thread at that time to avoide their important announcements being burried by such “useless posts” too.

2. THE LISTwill be update until the FW3A is announced for sale. After that there will be no further updates. . It will be time at that point to get real serious about reading the “I ordered mine.” or “I ordered 3.” , etc., etc. posts.
Guys, you may continue with the off-topic banter to keep everyone entertained (or bored because of the corny posts) while there are some issues to be fixed/resolved in the FW3A project.
I am not so active at the moment so I am wondering. Do I get a notification as soon as I can by one or do I have to check the tread on a regular basis?
