That looks great!! I’d be down to buy one from you if you decide to have another go at it. I’ve got a polished titanium FW3 hopefully on the way soon that will be perfect for it.
That is the one real thing missing on the FW3A, a decent deep carry clip. The stock clip, both V1 and V2 seem to be plenty strong. They do get caught on a seat belt from time to time and I have not killed either one.
I only hope to add to this thread, not take away from the custom diffusers.
Both the Felix AOD-S and NiteCore NDF25 diffusers fit very, very snugly on the FW3A. They are very useful with candle mode. Of the two, I prefer the AOD-S, as it can be used either tail standing or diffuser down.
The AOD-S does not look to bad. I am not a fan of rigid diffusers, they do not pocket well. I really hope to find one of the smallish silicone ones that will fit, none of my selection will fit. The ideal one, for me, would be similar to the one that fits the TiTool. I may try to make a form and form one up, not sure how well that will go.

I have a feeling both of these are FD2 tint bin because from what TA said, there was an extremely limited number of FA3 tint bin on the market in the range of 1,000 pieces only. Fireflies said Luminus recently wanted to make some more FA3 tint bins so there should be more.
Finally got around to modifying Anduril and flashing it with an update that has manual memory and removing a couple modes I never use like some blinkies and muggle mode.
Main alteration which was fairly simple: set it up so that when locked out, instead of going to the second ramp’s floor on the double click it goes to what’s set for manual memory. Much nicer to use for my case, I always accidentally activate it so it sits in lockout most of the time.
This just means I now have a preset double-click momentary in lockout for when I need light for a couple seconds, but don’t have to raise either ramp’s floor. Only drawback is manual memory needs to be activated in order for said function to work.
Wow that baby ti is shorter than the baby al ….and it will be welded ….so if it’s a laser does that mean it can engrave/etch your ti as well? Super nice mod :heart_eyes:
I was initially surprised at how light the aluminium version was when I first got it. The ti version is noticeably heavier. I realise you’re asking about ti vs ti/cu but I don’t have a plain ti version. I took some measurements of weight. The head has most of the extra weight but not all of it.
Alu version
Ti/cu version
While I was at it I weighed my D4ti with v2 head (aluminium)
Thanks! Great info. So do you find it head heavy too? Also, your d4 has the aluminum heatsink right? I remember the cu/Ti d4 to be tank like. It was too heavy for me.
Edit: sorry reread your post about the d4 v2 head. How much does the full ti/cu d4 weigh?
