Yes Ledil Cute lens. I thougt about polishing but I try to use it this way and if I like it I will leave it that way. I built it one day ago so not used it much.

My grey S2+ switch PCB is 16.15mm but it has more room so very tight but it will fit.

20

congrats…perfect work.i dream about my quad xpl…sadly,too much work i guess:))

21

Thank you all! More pics and videos coming later. Today I want to make the lighted tailcap for it.

:beer:

Nice build Zozz. You have built the V6 now for the V8. :wink:

24

And the lighted tailcap is working :smiley:
I used BLF A17DD driver, and 470 Ohm bleeder resistor on driver and 47KOhm resistors for each pair of the 6 leds in the tailcap. In the tailcap I used PD68s rev5.1 led ring board instead of the stock aluminum washer. This is for the 14mm rubber boot.
The six leds eat 0,106mA so if I use a 3000mA battery it will last for about 19 days.





25

Is that 0.106ma, or one tenth of a milliamp?

If so, that’s
3000mah / 0.106ma / 24hrs / 365days = 3.23 years

Either way, it looks great!

26

One tenth of a milliamp. So this way it enough for 3 years?

27

congrats…perfect work

Gorgeous. Very nice work. I really like the way you did the lighted switch.

Agree, the work is all very crisp, no wonder that you get it all working well. :slight_smile:

Thank you!I putted in a 4.21V battery in 7 hours ago. It still shows 4.21V while the button glows :slight_smile:

Two days ago I built another X6 triple for a hungarian forum member. I made more detailed pics of the build and video. Here are some pics and a link for the whole X6 triple album. I don’t know when I have time for video editing. But I have a nice video of the complete soldering of spacer, noctigon and the three leds together. After finished it makes 12A at tailcap at start and then drops down to 11A after 10-20 seconds.

Video of soldering together the spacer, noctigon and leds:

33

Thanks for the video! Could you explain the screw thing? I know it must keep it all centered and pressed together, I just don’t know how it does that. What kind of screw is it?

34

It’s nothing special. A regular M4 allen screw and a nut and some washers and a spring. The big shiny thing under the spacer is a huge washer to clear the screw’s head from underneath and to slowing down the heat up a little. The spring is compressed to press out the unnecesary solder paste when melted. And the screw is also make the centering as you mentioned.

35

Nice build, I’m new. Just posting here to be able to find it and your photo album again and to thank you for documenting your work.
Cheers!

36

Thank you! You’re welcome!

I did an electronic switch. Too much current for the mechanical switch.
