Doesn’t that depend on the acrylic and design? I have a 125 gallon fish tank that’s been up and running for 30 years and it’s certainly under lots of pressure.

Acrylic is softer and more pliable than glass. It should be less prone to cracking than glass. Polycarbonate is ideal, but dunno how that would affect pricing.

DBSAR · March 2, 2019, 6:42pm

If the side wall thickness of the globe/lens can be at least 2.5 to 3 mm thick, acrylic would be strong enough. (for example i used an acrylic storage cup that has a wall thickness of 2.5 millimeters, (roughly 1/8” thick) on the original V1 Lantern build, and that lantern has been used & abused, dropped, knocked over, & dragged on wilderness trips for a couple years and it has not cracked yet. (Just has a couple scratches & nicks from wear & tear. Though it would be preferable if polycarbonate can be used as that material is more scratch resistant & stronger, but if we have to go with acrylic for cost reasons and its thick enough then it will be ok.

Thanks for reminding me. will add it.

Ilumenati · March 3, 2019, 2:06am

OK, I’ve been thinking about the multi-day power outages we frequently have, better put me down for a second one.

My first one is: 1232 Ilumenati

Thanks,

Can I be added to the list too please?

SwissFlashy · March 3, 2019, 9:21am

@DBSAR Do you know if USB-C will definitely be used?

chathamh · March 3, 2019, 5:00pm

I’ll take a second one as well (Currently #1175). This build continues to exceed my expectations.

scdaf · March 3, 2019, 7:44pm

I’m 195 on the list. Please add me for one more and thanks for the endless work this has required so far!

DBSAR · March 3, 2019, 8:44pm

Were hoping the port will use a USB-C interface if it don’t drive up the cost to much.

!!! Important Note !!!

Anyone who has expressed an interest in a lantern should verify that their BLF user name is correct in the Interest list by user names link. When the lanterns are ready for purchase the pm’s will be automatically generated based upon the user name in that file so if your name is incorrect then you won’t be getting a pm

This is a one time only check so if your name is correct now then it will be correct going forward. In other words you only need to check once. Note that embedded spaces are valid characters so for example a name having one embedded space is not the same as a name having 2 embedded spaces.

Different letter cases in the user name doesn’t matter. Eg. Userxxx is the same as uSERXXX for the purposes of the pm’s.

If a name needs to be corrected send me a pm and don’t just post it in this thread because it could very well be missed.

DO NOT send me a pm saying that your name is fine.

Thanks

I can re-post this in the OP too just after the names list to get attention of any new members join in to add to the list.
