VaKo you just came to make the n00by move. Please fix your previous post. Posting big images without specifying the relative width parameter breaks the forum page layout for all devices whose screen width is lower than the image's. Use 100 (%) maximum please.
As mentioned before, this design was not my first choice, but now it looks like most user-frienly quad mod. I never liked soldering driver wires to pcb when it sits down inside deep (yes sometimes 6mm is too deep) pocket, when you are not able to put solder tip at the angle youd like to. With this design there are no such problems, you can solder spacer to brass pill and pcb to the spacer (and even leds to the pcb) within one heating cycle, put driver and solder wires, slide outer brass ring over spacer when all soldering is done and screw whole assembly inside head.
Kiriba-ru, I was hoping to get three of the copper p60 quad drop-ins here at the end of the month. I see there is only one left now. Any plans to make more?
as a beginner modder, can you help me understand what do these parts do, and possibly the instructions of them (to see if it is in my skill level)
It appears out of your list of items, I might be interested in S2+ and sofirn C8T
If you add a spacer to S2+, you can change one led to three leds (mounted on 20mm triple pcb) with carclo triple optics (10507 is the most popular option).
If you replace brass pill with copper one, you can increase heating mass and improve heat transfer.
C8TT was developed to show how fins (placed wide) can improve heat dissipation (not as much as most think). In my experience, C8 with my finned head can carry 2 times more power as regular C8 can.
I agree, seems like people want to handle heat on this light but the body of the fw3a is paper thin and I suspect you wouldn’t be happy in an extra large pill to distribute heat
I think that’s a great idea. FW1A is only 8.3mm longer. By inserting a copper spacer inside, you can significantly increase performance.
I had two FW3A pieces from the first batch with a black clip and sold them, among others, because of the “paper” shelf.
