FW3A mod thread. Post yours!

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.

Thanks for the info. I like the look of the AOD-S.

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.

Like the style of the Fenix diffusor, looked it up and ordered it for 4EUR locally, thanks for that!

I have yet to find a decent 1” silicone diffuser. That’s what I would prefer also. The Fenix will be for my nightstand.

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.

Ooop’s I did it again :person_facepalming:

Baby Ti….

Were you playing around with dad’s shrink ray again? :laughing: :smiley: :+1:

That’s pretty darn cool. Btw. How is the weight of ti vs ti/cu? Is it head heavy?

:smiley: Yep….and now I get to play with a Laser/Spot welder…at the local jewelry store/shop… maybe…

The wife has a friend who owns the store, they make their own jewelry/repair, he has a welder that welds Ti. :heart_eyes:

I knew somebody would get it! :wink: :+1:

Yes…awkwardly so (head) heavy…

Family group shot…

Shimmed the hole switch package down on the little Ti to make the button almost flush…

Whhhoooaaa!! Nice family…

Wow that baby ti is shorter than the baby al :open_mouth: ….and it will be welded :open_mouth: :open_mouth: ….so if it’s a laser does that mean it can engrave/etch your ti as well? :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: 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?

Nice work :+1:
