Picked my S2+ triple pill and optics up from the post office yesterday, great packaging, complete with a handy storage box
Screws into my existing S2+ host fine and the LD-3 driver fits nicely, although I may have to shave a little off the retaining ring to get a bit more clearance on the moonlight components (not a problem with the ring, just my choice of driver ).
Just need the green host and triple 219C to arrive now!
Kiriba, you may want to change the S3 inclusion from these threaded spacers. Current S3 have the integrated shelf for the emitter. Or include (Old Version)
Will work in the new S3 with integrated shelf but without a glass lens.
Still working on my copper collection from you. May make another order when the M2 Quad are back. Some nice new additions.
Yep, I had this message (Old Version) on ebay, have lost it moving here.
Not sure about spacer. Convoys have 2 reflector dimentions and S3 should have similar one to S2+. Need more feedback (some members have bought this spacers in 5-10pcs quantity, Im sure somebody else have mod his S3).
I still have 3 of your standard Copper S2+ spacers, all measure 7.15mm, 7.17mm, 7.19mm
Noctigon DTP MCPCB is what is widely used in single and triple build
Here are pics of stacks I mocked for measurement.
Noctigon single XM-L with emitter and reflector spacer, S2+/S3 reflector and Stock Glass.
Noctigon Triple, your Carclo Quad and S2+ spacer
Noctigon Triple, your Carclo Quad and S2+ spacer and stock Glass
The stack without Glass works fine in the S3 Triple. Just the threads on the Stainless bezel to hold it together, only has a couple threads. I can not get it to start with Glass on top. I have no problem here just want to inform with my findings on currently made Hosts.
Also the S2+ spacer used in the measuring is the 7.15mm high. It has already been Lapped into the head of the S3 to make full contact and the top has been wet sanded Flat on glass surface. So material has been removed in head, on bottom and top of the copper.
Thanks for the info.
I can just suppose that hosts with integrated shelf are still rare in combination with triple, that`s why nobody have found it out earlier.
I need to check triple sets from KD height and make decision about required spacer height.
Welcome,
Wanted to point out a few observations on this one before it gets glued together.
The S2+ is assembled from the rear, total size is not as critical as on the S3. S3 only has so much room and no way to compensate.
I honestly have not tried to assemble it with the single emitter stack. Guess I should try before it all gets glued to triple.
OK, Single stack works but there is a small gap under bezel using the Noctigon and XM-L spacer. I also have the O-ring on top of glass. Thinner MCPCB or no O-ring will seat the bezel flush. Guess if your skill level is higher you could also use a flat pad spacer or omit the reflector spacer all together. Space is tight in there.
@kiriba-ru. Finally built my triples using the spacers you supplied before Christmas (had to wait for KD to reship the LEDs). Spacers were a perfect fit. Thanks!
Not everyone uses a part the day they get it. Or even the same YEAR. That doesn’t excuse rude, dismissive behavior. I’ve made literally thousands of purchases and your response ranks among the top 5 worst. Thanks for confirming my statements.
