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

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.

I thought that alu/cop version is less popular and it is no way to get the upgraded version. But apparently I was wrong.
For 99% you will get that flashlight with a brass plate.

Well guys l discovered that my green one that arrived 2 weeks ago already has a brass one.
But that will be substituted when my copper one arrives.

Seems that it’s pot luck whether it comes with brass or plastic as that information is lacking in the description.

Mine arrived today.

Only took a few days to ship from US to UK.

Many many thanks

Jim

If you do replace it, let me know if it has thermal paste or pads under it. I'm just curious how far they took the suggestions with this mod. Hopefully they did.

Thanks

I haven’t yet took out the brass heatsink. I will apply some new thermal paste & remove the pad should there be one.

Wife has the house decorating top of my activity list this week. So will get round to it by next week

Wow, that’s crazy. I sent them all out on the same day (Tuesday). There’s 2 people in the US whose heatsinks are still in transit.

You’re welcome!

I replaced my brass plate with the new copper one. No paste or pads under the original. It did have a plastic centering ring which does not fit the copper, fyi.

I have just gotten one in from bangood it was only like 68 bux or so with coupon code available at coupons from china.com for the copper/aluminum MF01mini and it came with the copper plate already installed. I am not 100% that the same is for the regular full aluminum cause I had gotten one that did not have it. The copper/aluminum one is super heavy tho.

Should be a brass plate. Is it yellow or orangish? Yellow would be brass.

Sorry my mistake it is indeed for sure brass.
