OMG, that is an Amazing mod “pinkpanda3310”. You have a gift of creativity and craftsmanship I think we all envy. Keep those pics coming . BTW is that Titanium ?
I didn’t even know about the oshpark flex pcb. Had I known I might’ve just made one anyway because of shipping times. But I know now so thank you Agro.
Very nice…… Not sacrilege - but it will be better!
I’m gonna have to take the plunge soon, been waiting for the ‘right’’ one…… but it just don’t seem to come along lol…. I am desperate for some aux action……
D4V2 26650 but do I go power lumens, ie xpl hd, or tint sst20 4k almost 1/2 power…….or go for the 5k somewhere in between on lumens……
I’m a huge Lunasol fan and this one is out of my league. I did swaped all emitters on mine to 90+CRI and bumped the current but this work is something else. CNC only.
Not sure what that comment is referring to …? Owning a CNC is a recurring dream for me :heart_eyes: Maybe one day…
Yes I can thread on my lathe CNCman. Are you going to suggest a threaded pill? Theoretically a good idea but I don’t want to make the pill for a third time. I’m happy with how firm the press fit is.

Hi PP
I was just checking on the lathe about threading, some lathes don’t have the gearing for threading. I didn’t think about a threaded pill, but was considering PM you about something else regarding machining Titanium.

My dream too ” PP ”
There are many CNC Routers for sale, but you need to research this for several months before buying one. It is possible to make some money on the side with one, but it will take time to learn many things. A rotary 4th axis will need to be added for flashlights and the table will need one corner cut out to allow for vertical milling for threading and boring. You will need software that is free for Hobbyist from AutoCad Fusion 360, and learn how to use it before buying. Art programs can be found free as well, and are needed to create “step” files for the Fusion 360 to read. Also its best to understand all the details of the CNC mechanical and electronics, as adjustments will be necessary from setup onward.

This all sounds complicated and it is at first, but the more you learn, it gets easier. The rewards are definitely as big as your imagination applied to making things.

Here are 2 that I would buy and will one day.
