Simon is selling reflectors for S2+/S3 20*12mm.
Maybe he changed it when he went to the integrated shelf, the one I used to have was the old version with a pill.
measured all my S2+ and my S3 reflector and all measure to 11.6mm
My S3 was bought recently as a Host, it is the integrated shelf Flat Balck new version.
11.6+1.2(center ring)+1.0(stock pcb)=13.8mm
7.2(spacer)+1.8(triple pcb)+6.0(optics)=15.0mm
Can anybody confirm any issues with Convoy triple builds?
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

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.
i have triple xpl and also nichia sets,if you need height…also on the new copper board…
Yes, please measure height (without extra legs length).
height of the legs?or the complete sets-legs joined with the board?the sizes are not posted on kaidomain exactly?
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.
complete set without extra legs length.
8,45 mm said my friend,who measured it right now…
I don’t think this is right , this height you mentioned should be with the extra legs length .
I measured 7.15mm .
@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!
As I said, poor customer service.
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.
Think I am up to about 10 builds using Kiriba-Ru parts.
Today I finished the Convoy S3 Triple. Good Stuff and Packaging, fast International shipping.
I would think there is some reasonable expectation to inspect the part upon delivery or very soon after.
Parts were fine on arrival with a quick inspection. Domes fell off into the baggie while just sitting in a drawer with other parts I was gathering. I’ve NEVER seen domes just fall off before and would not even think to check even periodically to see if it happened. Nevertheless, I stand by my statement.
I’ve built 3 triples using these parts and the integrated shelf S3 hosts, all worked perfectly.
