FINISHED pinkpanda's entry for 7th Annual BLF Old-Lumens Scratch-build contest!

Giveaways and Contests

The electronic tail switch crossed my mind, but i think I would need to ordre new running gear. Led4power drivers are not e-switch compatible.

A light skim to pretty it up. One end is much better looking than the other.

I did some rough sketches to try and work out how to make it all fit. I don’t think I can make it all fit without using another metal to try and extend it in some way or other. I had intentions to make better blueprints but I can’t settle in my head what the final design should be. So I’m just going to start making it from one end and work out the rest when I get to it.

11

Can’t see pictures.
You’re not working on this light now are you…?
Because that would be unfair and against the entry rules, if the competition does start.
This year. Anytime. Soon…

12

I’ll try rectify the pics later.

As far as the rules… :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :innocent:

13

A true Rebel. :smiley:

14

Cool. :slight_smile:
BTW, have you considered this with 10250 instead? :wink:

15

I cant find any 10250 cells now? 10280 are hard to find too but got four on order.

16

I could send you back the spare Nukes I bought for you, for the sake of seeing such build. :smiley:
I wonder what would they do with 3V XHP50.2…

17

I’ll keep that in mind, would mean ordering a momentary driver & other headache stuff too and I’m behind with builds as usual.
Anyway, lets stop spamming pinks Rebelcheatin’buildthread with off topic chat :smiley:

18

It wouldn’t be blf if we didn’t get side tracked :smiley: Pics above should be fixed now.

I made the pill. I hope I left enough room for the wires.

19

excellent pp, a new comp ,pics aren’t working for me

20

Doh! I checked this page on the wife’s phone to make sure they were showing. Will go back and try again.

21

working now :+1:

22

Thanks LTP :beer: Worked out I hadn’t set the album to ‘share’ yet :person_facepalming:

23

Looks good pp. Your skills are coming along in leaps and bounds. I’d say theres heaps of room for wiring. :slight_smile:

24

Nice build so far! I’m glad my post brought some kinda response, but I didn’t expect a rogue build! :smiling_imp:

Honest, officer! I was only trying to get the real contest to start! :innocent:

25

Thanks moose :beer:

It wasn’t me officer :cowboy_hat_face: , David is the mastermind… :zipper_mouth_face: err… no I mean ‘the’ … I’m a pleb :blush: Honest…

Im wondering Pinkpanda what is the superconductor bar made out of?

28

According to the seller this is NIOBIUM TITANIUM ALLOY. I’m assuming the orange part is copper and not cupronickel.

Wiki says there is a couple different varieties - Superconductor material classes include chemical elements (e.g. mercury or lead), alloys (such as niobium-titanium, germanium-niobium, and niobium nitride), ceramics (YBCO and magnesium diboride), superconducting pnictides (like fluorine-doped LaOFeAs) or organic superconductors (fullerenes and carbon nanotubes; though perhaps these examples should be included among the chemical elements, as they are composed entirely of carbon).
