The bezel
After some interesting discussion these are the options
We will present the top 2 to Thorfire
And thanks to Thijsco we can present these all in similar manner (the metal shining wave bezel Lazy-R-us
made would of course have gotten all the votes, being shiney and metal and all, so we keep it fair here )
UPDATE Thijsco used the technical drawings from Thorfire of the Q8 V1 head design to show us better how the bezels look.
You might want to reconsider your vote after seeing this.
1 I do not care about the Q8, do not want it, but I do like to vote in polls!
2 cut outs most like the SRKs have:
3 flat no light escaping head down on a real flat surface
4 flat with very small cuts to let light escape when placed head down on a flat surface
5 flat with cut outs to let light escape when placed head down on a flat surface
Still like the wave most
But choose flat with very small cut outs for its easier fabrication (sorry Sharpie they’ll have enough of a challenge I think ) and I hoped appeal to both flat bezel lovers and safety lovers.
Interesting to see the little tuned down SRK style take the lead so hefty now.
Yes no sharp edges of course.
That wave sure does smoorhes through all life’s challenges.
I see the one I voted for has more votes so I might just change it to the wonderful wave
Other: replaceable nylon inserts that thread in allowing them to conduct light out during headstand but minimizing distortion to the beam. Think of the bezel with holes that was in the main thread but nylon or plastic screws threaded in to glow if the light is headstanding and on.
Expressing my opinion that I prefer something else. Six or eight holes for threaded or even push in plugs would allow light to exit and allow for use of both translucent and gitd inserts. Having four white or clear inserts to emit indicating the light is on and four gitd inserts to aid in locating would set it apart and be very useful.
Argh did I miss this in the Q8 thread? I was under the impression the bezel with holes was out but with inserts it would be cool. Yet we would talk about more parts and assembly steps.
So if this thread goes wild over it I can add it as option but for now I lean to saying it seems like a nice mod.
And wauw, in a couple of hours that wave rolled from a third/fourth position to shared 1
Keep on rolling!
Im liking the unique look and smooth edges of the wave assuming its doable without adding cost. If its not feasible then I would go with #2 standard srk look.
