MF01 Mini / MT07- Mod/Upgrade - Copper Heatsink Cover Plate

Wow, glad to see this came to fruition! Thanks gchart for the help to the community! They look great too :+1:

I joined this forum as l knew the experts here would have already worked out the best mods for these flashlights.
I am qualified in electronics + retired so can spend many hours reading all the info on this forum.

Where can l order a couple of these copper heatsinks?

At a push l can pop a bar of copper in my lathe & knock up a couple. But if they are already in production….

My location is Nottingham UK.

I just had a batch CNC’ed using the man of light design files. I have the heatsinks on hand and am waiting for the isolation stickers to arrive (hopefully about a week or so). I think I have 3 that aren’t spoken for.

To help cut down on international shipping fees, pat murris has volunteered to redistribute the pieces for the European members if you’re interested.

Pricing is expected to be $16 per kit plus shipping costs. Let know if you want on the list.

PS - welcome to BLF!

Where did you find your mf01 mini for 50 bux and the copper version?

Hey I would like to be on the list for the copper heat sink. Thanks hope I’m not too late.

Am I too late to get on the list for the copper heat sink

Hey brand new member and new to the flashlight game.I have just ordered my first real flashlights and one of which is the mf01 mini. I really want a copper heat sink what do I do to get one?

Wooooah dude. First off, welcome to BLF and the wonderful world of never-ending flashlights.

I think all of the heatsinks that I just had made have been spoken for. But it’s possible that someone has changed their mind, so I’ll make a waitlist and put you on it. Also, it’s been mentioned that some of the recently purchased MF01 Mini’s have arrived with a heatsink already in place from the factory.

Thank you! I will be happy to be on the waiting list sorry if I sent a bunch of posts I am learning how this all works with the msgs and postings. I have read that some come with the Brass heat sink but not sure from which suppliers I ordered from bangood us stock and the last one available from us. I was really close to getting a second copper aluminum one and i haven’t even received my green all aluminum one yet when I saw a you tube video of a Vietnamese reviewer that lead me to the heat sink you and the forum.

I would also like to know where to get the copper version for $50.
I get mine from Banggood for less than that, but the copper version is way more expensive

Just a heads up, the Mateminco MT07 on aliexpress now come with the brass plate

Hey gchart sorry to bug you again but I would like to get 2 of the copper heat sinks if they become available. I have 2 of the Astro/Minco MF minis I see you already put me on the list for 1 thank you. Please put me down for another… even if 1 comes with brass in it I’ll still take both. Copper seems better anyway.and I will probably get other colors later and need the extra.

Certainly. List updated.

Good news… Stickers just arrived and fit perfectly. Hopefully I will have a moment to reach out to each of you in the next couple of days to arrange payment and get your shipping info.

Sweet

Can’t wait

Update: nearly everything is in the mail! EU members (Sikarisnagari, fucx, Captain_Joe, and pfuender), your pieces have been mailed to patmurris to reduce international shipping fees. He’ll handle the last leg of the journey. US members - yours should arrive in a few days, ya’ll should have PM’s with tracking numbers.

The only person I haven’t heard back from is MF01mini (who was hasn’t been around in 5 weeks). Unless someone thinks this is unfair, I’ll give MF01min a week to respond. If I haven’t gotten a response by the morning of Tuesday, October 27th then I’ll move on to the waiting list (looking at you, Natureslogic!)

I am here and standing by ready with my visa.

Banggood 2 months ago made a “few hours mistake” and the price of all version was the same. In addition the highest coupon worked as well.
I noticed that and imediately bought the aluminium version with copper radiator for $45 - cashback. I knew that there would be problems to process the order. I made about 6 talkings on the chat and always heard that the flashlight is out of stock but on the site all the time it was available. After a month I probably hit the new person and I was said that the flashlight was avaiable all the time. For “hiding” order I asked for combine that order with a new one. For my suprise that person do that and few hours later all items from that order, including flashlight xpl-hi 5000K, was sent and 3 weeks later I recieved it. It is much more bright than sst20 4000K. It included modified copper plate instead plastic one.
I prepared the message on BLF and when I last time before sending checked the price it would be fixed to the regular one :frowning:

PS. OP wrote aluminium/copper version. Later the brass heatsink. There is no copper version with the brass heatsink so I think OP bought the flashlight in the same time like me. But it wasn’t whole copper version.
If I am wrong, I am also curious how to get the.copper version for $50.

So,Quad-XXX, are you saying that the copper/aluminum hybrid version from Banggood comes with the plate already installed? I have an olive one I just received from them that still had plastic but I also ordered the copper/aluminum version and I am hoping from what you say it may already have it. If mine comes with the Brass already installed then I would only need 1 heatsink plate from gchart.I will hopefully know by the end of the week. I still will need 2 obviously if it comes plastic.
