I looked at the brass ring in the driver and thought of that, but then remembered the Novatac and maybe other mods youāve made and left me a doubt, as you use the copper sheet throughout the body!
Still, once you used a switch instead and not a Piston Driver System, how did you do it in the pill/driver/ring side?
That still bothers me in the intention of modding my D10, as Iām afraid I canāt make the right connection on the āhead sideā :zipper_mouth_face:
This is definitely a keeper, the light is gorgeous :heart_eyes:
From how Iām building the D10 with e-switch in my mind you would do the same as I have done here with the thin e-switch contact ring fixed on top of your new driver, you would have the switch contact ring made so it sits under the movable sprung split ring, insulated from everything else so only when you press the piston, it presses down on the sprung split ring until it contacts the e-switch disc thus connecting to ground.
Should work I think, but I could be missing something as I donāt have the light to ponder over, like I said it is tricky and you would need to watch how much reduced piston switch travel there is due to the extra contact ring on the driver which is why I suggested stripping the original driver, but you will have a better idea when you have the light.
The stock D10 is working in the exact same way with a separate switch contact ring under the moving split ring.
Thanks for the answer CRX! I already have the light, but I didnāt have the time (nor the driver yet) to mess with it!
When I ādismantleā it, Iāll test and take some photos so that I can manage to see if I got the āwhole pictureā youāve mentioned to me!
I will not bother you more with this till then
And thanks for your hints and inspiration with these mods
Haha :+1:
I can make a tube for carrying a switch signal inside the battery tube from 0.2mm copper sheet no problem but I wouldnāt do it for making something like a hand made rotary controlled light made from 1.5mm titanium. Sheesh.
You got yours yet?
Wow, fantastic work CRX! I wish I had the talent to do stuff like this. I am OK living vicariously through you, because you provide so many thorough details and photos. Also, love that holster you made for the Lan Mokume.
I don't know of a direct replacement, maybe a modified FET + 7135 Driver - 15mm - MTN-15DDm would work but like I said you would need to add an e-switch contact on top of the board, this is what I installed in the Mokume LAN.
