[PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping.

Looks like there are two Fab Labs in Ho Chi Minh City, both with lasers. (One 40W and one unspecified.)

thanks mate, but as i said i want to do this myself, i have some lights that i want to engrave them too, the fablab you mentioned is quite far from my house, it takes about 1 hour to come there

:+1:

Oh my! One hour drive to get somewhere is unrealistic? We dang near go that far to feed the dawg! :stuck_out_tongue: All kidding aside, people here drive an hour one way to work all the time, that’s if the traffic isn’t bad. To drive an hour, even two, just to go out to eat or go shopping is the normal, everybody does it. (And the highways are packed with some crazy drivers too!)

So now I’m wondering if my 3.3Amp blue laser will burn anodizing (I don’t know it’s wattage, 2 Li-ion cells at 3.3A should have it around 20 Watts, yes?)… it very quickly burns most things I’ve had in front of it.

(Reminding myself to heal before trying anything else dangerous.)

ahh, you dont know about my city traffic, do you?
traffic jam, everyday, everywhere(1 hour for 10-15km travelling)
if you can test your laser burn anodizing, i would appreciate it

After must consideration , sadly I have to withdraw my slot @ 318 for others.

Sorry !

Minimoke.

Glad to see the engraving thing turned into a DIY and not implemented for all, love the Giggles text for sure but love little to no engravings better :wink:

Will update the list later.
However I think the mass pm will be send based on the previous update so ignore it if you don’t want it after all.

To bad TM, i just entered the 555 range
Which means i have to wait somewhat longer

In case of non reaction/paying more people down the list will be send the PM :wink:

Any deadline since pm sent to make payment? So member like yokiamy can get pm too.

And i guest new 555 list will based this first payment?

Cmiiw

I didn't receive a PM yet, is that correct?

The PM text is being tweaked (Mr.Scott has just made the layout easier to read)
I think it is ready for sending but when it happens depends on when Mr Scott and SB can find the time to do so.

Google: Fablab
for your area. The often have a laser engraver. The conditions how you can use it are for each Fablab different, but it’s most small money.

Ask TA for a svg picture of the name

Anyone know of any of the Chinese vendors that have GA”s in stock ?
I have checked Aliexpress, BG, GB & Everbuying & none have any listed ?
Nkon, the european supplier, also doesn”t have any listed.
Failing that I think that Neal posted a while ago that he could supply 8 cells with each purchased GT ?
Any idea what the cells are & the price please anyone ?

i bought some GA’s from an alibaba seller 3 months ago. about US$3.80 a piece and no minimum qty required i think. you might like to try alibaba since their vendors tend to accept Paypal as well anyway.

LT wrapped Panasonic protected 3400 BT I guess

Here is the Giggles Text that I used in a few different formats. Personally I would stretch it out another mm or 2 to fill out the flat area but otherwise I think it works great.

Thanks for the link.

That is with am XPG2 and only 850 lumen. The GT will throw a more usable beam for sure. I hope that it actually gets to 1.2k lux to justify the size of the light. I am sure that modders will get well past that mark very quickly.
