I didn’t know about the fenix competition, thanks.
Ok so I have a bit of progress to report, today I made the trigger clicky and it’s enclosure/mounting.
I haven’t cut the enclosure to the final assembly size/shape but the masking tape shows what the final thing will look like.
Way too risky to cut this now based on estimated measurements!
Inside it’s simply one of those standard 1.5A omten reverse clickies mounted on some random tailcap pcb I had lying around and trimmed down to fit inside the enclosure.
The enclosure I made from a 5v transformer/power supply casing which had a nice little ergonomic lip at the base. I cut this in half and sanded the two halves until I had the width that I needed. Then glued the two parts together, drilled and dremmeled out the hole for the switch boot and put it all together. There’s a backing plate mounted into a grooves inside the case and plenty of hotglue to ensure the switch doesn’t go anywhere.
The cable will run down inside the handle through the middle dovetail groove and the twisty part will take the rest of the cable down to the tailcap. Not certain how I’m going to run this into the tailcap just yet but probably just through it’s own port. Maybe with another connector if I get real fancy, for modularity and flexibility.
Also just to be clear I won’t be running 15amps through this cable! It will just be the control switch for the drivers.
And finally here’s some more renders of the model with the switch mounted. The blue line shows where the cable will be running.
Those MT-G2s are to scale btw! Huge buggers!! :party:
Cheers
