Thanks for the answer Jason. It was more a theoretical question that practical as I wouldn’t polish it for sure. No tools nor know-how! I just wanted to perceive how the materials would change and how it would look after polishing !
Thanks again :+1:
Does anyone know how to track shipments from Neil’s Gadgets? I was provided with a number and I am used to tracking packages from abroad (Asia, Europe, Russia) but can’t get any services to recognize the number. Thanks in advance.
I had good luck with ALL-IN-ONE PACKAGE TRACKING | 17TRACK. Keep in mind that there’s a DHL hand-off to USPS near the end (in the USA that is) and the USPS website doesn’t track it. You will see updates on 17 Track.
I haven’t been to SF in a long time. How’s the sygyzy club these days? Is the giant octopus still alive?
That should be compatible. That will come with wires pre-soldered on that you wont need but no big deal. If you have a little soldering experience it should be fairly straightforward.
The Nichia 219C has a nice even tint, though. No ugly shifts across the beam. Of course, the Cree HI emitters don’t have tint shift, either. Lower CRI, though.
But what about the SST-20? Does it have tint shift?
Right. Considering this was a PRE-ORDER & you were toward the end of the list at numbers 2106 & 2107, a month is not bad at all…. and not even close to “the end of the world”. :+1:
If you can unsolder the two wires the new MCPCB comes with & the two wires on the FW3A MCPCB, swap the MCPCB’s & resolder the two wires in the FW3A on to the new MCPCB… your good to go.
With the release of the nichia version, does this mean the SST-20 version is dead or delayed further? I prefer the SST-20, but would buy the nichia version if it’s confirmed that it’s replacing the SST-20 that’s been hard to source.
Anyone else seen a tracking showing returned to shipper? Mine shows shipped on 05-20-19 and then "Returned to shipper" 05-22-19. I emailed Neal but haven't heard back yet. I'm more patient when I'm not confused...
My first one arrived almost two weeks ago… The second was hung up in tracking… Mind you they were ordered minutes apart… Now DHL gives me this :
