Great price! *semi groupbuy* Jaxman Z1 host

Its a lovely device really impressed with the workmanship. There is a 5a driver on kai domain that i ordered.

Yes. He’s going to be doing that.

Isn’t ALU also an improvement on brass?

Funny sciencetists :wink:

Can you link that driver mattjik?
I need one too :wink:

I’m pretty sure this is the driver mattjik was referring to:

FX6 Driver

Roger that ^ I also asked Jax about a copper pill and an XHP70 washer, he said no and copper wasn’t needed….

If ALU is better then brass and cheaper maybe they should switch to that.

Nah, if you’re going to the effort of making them you might as well do them in copper, can solder to them then.

Be interested in buying one if it ever happens.

:+1:

Sorry hank, just now saw your reply.

Contact Hoop and let him know you’re interested, so he has an idea how many.
He does batches, intermittently, so may be a while.

I like to have two or three or four pills for a good light, so I can swap drivers and emitters quickly and easily.

Of course, then, I start wanting more host bodies ….

That, is a great idea! I had not thought about that option. :person_facepalming: …. Thanks for sharing that hank. :+1:

Whats the €£$?

Let me PM HOOP to ask him to chime in here :wink:

Hey friends. I am finishing up Hanks Z1 heatsinks today and a few extra ones. Made some a couple weeks back but wasn’t completely happy with them so I remade them. I also have XP sized centering gaskets for the Z1.

Oboy.

Lovely job.

Keep us posted on costs.

Finally got round the assembling my Z1 today, bit disappointing with the driver though which is the FX6 from Kai Domain. States 5a 2.3a and 800ma but its actually 5amps 500ma and 100ma…

Never the less an XHP70 at 5a is very bright to me anyway, ill get some beamshots shortly :slight_smile:

Really rubbish picture was at least 70m to the beach, pissing off pedestrians and watching them retaliate with there feeble torches was fun though. Shame about the crosshair!

Beautiful XHP70 emitter

It looks like this host is no longer available from Jaxman :frowning:

Wauw nice pics mattjk!
Hoop too for that matter

Yes I’ll email jaxman Sunday evening and when I know more you know more right after :wink:

Thanks The Miller!

And Z1 hosts are back!
No idea how many :wink:

X1 is being tweaked and improved now so a bit of patience for that.

Really keen to get a copper pill but no word back from Hoop yet :frowning:

Got a FET 22mm driver on route will pair up lovely.
