4 billion g tees gave been delivered now

whats the hold up ? lets get busy folks.
id like to come on here daily and see a few dozen new shots
I sent an email to Neal requesting for DHL tracking code as soon as shipped to make the correct customs declaration before the Giggles arrives in my country
So I bought an eight pack of 12 inch x 12 inch .060 Kydex sheets to make a lens cover for the GT. First tried making a cover without using a form and it came out real bad, loose fitting. Next I spent a couple of hours making a form, placed kydex in the oven to heat up and it shrunk to about half it’s original size. The light being round makes things extra difficult when using Kydex.
While i continue to wait for my GT, can anyone find out the effective beam angle? Measure the hotspot size at 10, 20 and/or as many meters away as reasonable
I was also thinking about this. And maybe line the inside with something to avoid scratches. But I have never worked with Kydex before so I really don’t know if it would work or not. Also kydex is pretty expensive here I would say. 18$ for a 12x12 sheet. 2,4mm thick, which is around 0.9 thickness.
As far as I know you dont need to make any customs declarations before it arrives to Uruguay. I have sent a crap load of packages to Uruguay when I was working for my last employer and none of those recipients needed AWB numbers before shipping. If you need that AWB just for the tax avoiding purposes, it’s a diffrent story and imho thats not something they need to do for you.
People need to calm down. I have seen more patient 5 year old children. Just like somebody said, Lumintop might have took a little too big bite here. I’m surprised that they haven’t already halted the production of the group buy GT’s, stole the design and started to sell them out 250USD a piece… Well, just joking but there are some really dishonest chinese companies out there, so big thumbs up to Lumintop
The piece that shrunk so bad was square when placed in the oven. It only shrunk one way, the other way got a little longer. Started with a square and ended up with a rectangle twice as long as it is wide. In the link above the guy was having the same problem.
Is it possible to change from registered to DHL? I just checked the list and for some reason I’m on there for registered. I’m in the US, so DHL shouldn’t be an issue.
That’s why I claim the AWB I want to avoid unnecessary problems and expenses
The first time, a few years ago, I did not make the customs declaration
The package was retained
So I know what are the problems and the expenses
I know well how is the mechanism, I have done it many times
I think you never did it so you do not know him
