Does anyone know if the carlco 3 up optic can be used with a KD triple board? I inadvertantly destroyed the optic & emitters on the KD Nichia 219c x3 board :person_facepalming: on one of my builds.
I’m hoping to be able to reuse the salvaged board on another project. I happen to be ordering from a US vendor & can use the quick shipping to finish my project sooner(& hence only those carlco optic are available otherwise I’d definitely just buy a replacement optic from KD.) Thanks!
And if you are ordering from MtnE he will reflow any in stock emitters for free, bare or on another board. He does excellent work. I have tried and it gets frustrating to get the 3 emitters and jumpers done and done right. I will never do a Tpad quad again. 3XP are easier but still… it will be done right from Richard.
No etc.
Carclo compatible only.
Round milled board with 5 drilled holes.
I can help with design to avoid usual problems.
Will take 50-100pcs from first batch and more in future.
Production methods and self-cost is same too other noctigon-style KD boards, so target price is $3.5 per 2pcs.
Yep I agree T-Pads :confounded: ! Make a 32mm triple board in the KD Black! I would really like it if they made both, dedicated parallel boards also, dislike using jumpers! :+1:
A simple Parallel design similar to Manker, Mateminco, or who ever it actually is. But Must fit Carclo and have the Negative on the outer edge. Yes, with some Meat on the board, Not thin. Please… :money_mouth_face:
I want to mod my S2+ with a 219c triple.
I bought the LED´s from Clemence. Now i need the other Parts.
Will this fit? Driver is a MTN FET + 7135 Driver
I just got in an assortment of the KD DTP copper stars a week ago… I have to say, they are really nice. They are flat, black and dimensions are good. I will use more of these.
received mine too, very good packaging and quick shipping. My triples aren’t flat though. They are slightly bent and only a good amount of sanding makes them somewhat flat. Having said all of that - they work 100%. If anything this seems like a cosmetic issue.
Warning KD Black stars, de-doming a couple XHP35HD E2-1A’s in racing fuel, and the substrate is lifting, guess I have a couple more 20mm copper spacers!
I did not try any triples, very happy with the Noctigon ones. I will have to watch them when removing domes, I always solder the led on before I soak them to remove the dome. Have not tried any of these in gasoline.
I hope that KD can get the new XP-L2-W2 LED´s until the BLF Q8 is ready to be sold.
This will be a lot of work and also not realy cheap but well worth. The Q8 + 4 new XP-L2-W2, a new XHP50.2 as upgrade for my modded TN31 (K40M driver with resistor mod and dedomed MT-G2 LED and i added a lot of copper to help with the extra heat), and a XP-L2-W2 upgrade for my UF-1504.
