The glow tape isn’t that green under normal lighting, its usually an “off-white” when I’ve seen it, just like watch lume.
I doubt it would change the tint much, especially when its placed under the business end of the optics where not very much light should be shining at it.
I’m having a slight issue with my light and I can’t seem to figure it out. For some reason, while I’m ramping up in the smooth ramp mode, sometimes it will just abruptly stop and shut completely off. Anyone got any ideas what I’m doing wrong? Here’s a video of what it’s doing https://giphy.com/gifs/ekvkxmNAyZY6Wk4AVW
That’s the main symptom of a switch tube contact issue. I haven’t seen it happen on my production sample, but I know the issue well from seeing it on earlier prototypes.
Loosen the tail a bit, loosen the head, then tighten the tail as much as you can, then tighten the head. The issue should go away.
If the issue returns, loosen the head, tighten the tail again as much as you can, then tighten the head. Try to keep the tail as tight as possible. And always tighten it tail-first.
Yes, but feeling certain isn’t the same thing as having accurate information. There’s a reason why there are so many adages and quotes about certainty, like counting chickens before they hatch.
How about a dab of quality rubber cement for the nub?
It will remain flexible as opposed to the rigidity of cured superglue.
A dot under the nub, and a thin smear over the sides and surface would create a cocoon for that little nub to live in for good.
Hmm, looks like I could fit about 57 20mm cylinders on my build plate, perhaps more if I crowd them in manually.
Estimated time of around 3 hours per plate.
My filament supplier has gitd on hand, I could pick it up tomorrow.
But on the other hand, PLA has a lower melting point than silicone, I was able to soften the top of a broken print with my D4 in around a minute.
This could melt inside of a light.
Guys and gals, I have received my units. All are in perfect order and working. I just wanted to say the wait was worth it. ALL OF YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB ON THIS LIGHT!!!
Side note - ordered 30q’s with mine. Anyone else’s come bone dead and have to revive them? Lol
