FW3A Useful Information.....

Thanks for the ideas Goose. Ideas welcome… :wink:

Yeah I’m working on it & should have it up later today after I get finished with a doctors appointment.

Last night TK asked a volunteer to do this… I could not refuse the ‘Light Goddess’ and the rest will be history. :smiley:

@ Lux-Perpetua…. Yeah… I went “reservation” crazy. :smiley: I figured better to many than not enough. I’ll just delete the unneeded ones later. :+1:

I'd have to say, I have some... reservations about this thread...

;)

:smiley: …. You won’t be dissappointed. :wink:

Would it be more useful to put the issues and fixes into a spreadsheet rather than another BLF thread?

Just thinking out-loud….and thanks for taking this one :+1:

Soon… ALL of BLF will be FW3A :smiley:

CRX, i’m waiting for you to add your custom switch with trit installed to this thread. Then, I can PM you and you can take my money.

Maybe some smaller trits in a triangle around the tiny plastic switch nub?

My light is on it’s way, traveling by Yodel, which is always fun :laughing:

From the pictures I have seen, for a single central vial install it looks like the centre nub in the steel cover can be ground down/ slotted, a hole or slot into that with a 6mm x 1.5mm trit & UV glue and then some playing around with the nub on the rubber switch boot. Maybe also use a thinner vial there.
Or as you say three trits in a triangle shape etc would look really nice too.

This is not going to be about mods or anything… it is just going to be a listing of simple things that TK can put a link to in the FW3A Thread OP… according to her…. IIUC.

I know …. Yodel! same here!
I’m kinda surprised someone on here doesn’t sort of mass produce some trit switches for this, once programmed the time and cost would be minimal - next to no materials either and the milling would take a matter of minutes. I could make some on the lathe, but no milling option sadly.

Thanks you for creating this thread, teacher.

I'm sure it will help a lot of BLF members.

GO TIGERS

My pleasure raccoon city. :+1:
Hopefully it will help those that need it. :slight_smile:

This might be a topic for a more advanced guide, and it’s not strictly unique to the FW3A:

How about including some notes on calibrating the thermal sensor in Andúril? Might help some folks squeeze out a few extra seconds on turbo.

Also, I don’t see a link to the manual at all. Maybe include that near the top, at the very least.

Yeah right… :wink:
You been in the swamp to long buddy…… :smiley:

I hear you actually…. I wish it could ’somehow’ be us two at the end, 1 & 2.
I would honestly be good with either being 1.
As long as they both “showed up” & played that is. I couldn’t take a repeat of last year on our part at the end… :cry: . :person_facepalming: . :person_facepalming: … :smiley:
RTR & GT

The FW3A uses standard 20mm triple stars compatible with the Carclo 20mm triple-TIR optic.

This means standard 20mm Noctigon triple stars fit perfectly.

Good idea. :slight_smile:

It’s one of those things new users should know, along with “open the front, not the back”. It works a lot better after it’s calibrated, and it only needs to be done once.

nice thread!

thanks for the work

Thanks for putting this together!

Check… I made mention of the Thermal Calibration in the OP, directing users to the detailed explanation on page #11 of the FW3A User Manual. I can’t explain it any clearer than that.

I looked for the FW3A User Manual too, so as to add a link to it; but I can’t find it if there is one. If you or anyone knows of one, direct me to it and I’ll certainly add a link to it. :+1:
