Maybe pp is frugal by not having a wife? 
It’s a beauty!
Thanks CNCman, i’ll keep this in mind. I have a dream of doing a cnc conversion on the lathe one day but I have a hard time justifying it. I just get the feeling that it would not be a huge benefit to me because I do not make repeat parts (nearly always one off’s) and the dwg’s (I’m not familiar with cad/cam etc…) and set up for each part might take just as long as manually machining it from the start. Regardless of all that, the link you provided does look appealing 
Thanks cabfrank
My wife is quite small (especially when she stands next to me), is that considered a frugal wife? Or am I the frugal one?
I have the multi colour tail switch that I ordered from Led4power now. So after thinking about it I wasn’t so keen on laying trits in there with such a bright tail cap.
….and I came up with this idea…
The drill bit walked a little and whilst it’s hard to see in the pic the line of holes was not 100% straight. So I cut a groove over them.
I stuffed the inside with blutac but I later found this wasn’t such a good idea. With the blutac blocking the holes inside I epoxied up the holes.
It took more effort than I was expecting to remove the blutac as the epoxy was doing it’s job and was sticking like shit to a blanket. Even after trying to clean it up the epoxy still looks ‘dirty’.
I cut back the outside epoxy flush with the body and reinstalled the switch. The ‘dirt’ is just as easily seen on this side. I don’t mind the epoxy is a little opaque but the dirty bits irritate the crap out of me. Really not looking forward to removing the epoxy and trying again :person_facepalming: :weary:
On the bright side I think it was a shit hot idea…
At the end of it all I might make a lanyard hole and call it done.
Nice idea. I use blutac a lot too, it helps if you smear a little grease on it where you don’t want it sticking. Lighter fluid dissolves it.
I would make a lanyard hole (or not) and call it done. It is amazing.
That’s a seriously good idea! Really like it. I would mill the epoxy, making the slot a bit wider and try agin. Will be worth the effort in the end.
Thanks for the tips CRX. I was thinking of wrapping the blutac in cling-wrap. Grease sounds like the way to go.
Thanks guys. I’m busy tomorrow so I might just enjoy the light as is for a few days until I get time to change it.
Nice build :sunglasses: :+1:
Fantastic build and a nice write-up describing the steps taken. Love the (w)hole idea! 
That looks so sick pp. Nice work.
I re-did the epoxy. I still ended up with some bubbles but nothing too bad. I polished it a little this time but I’m not sure if I like it this way yet. If not it won’t be much to scuff it with fine sandpaper.
What it used to look like-
What it looks like now-
OMG titanium AND blinky colours!!! :+1: :partying_face:
Lol, the gif’s I made are not very indicative. The colour change is more lava lamp style than blinky.
Nice flashlight you have there :+1:
Love the LED color and the shape of the host
Can’t see the new version 
Very nice indeed, brilliant idea on the lit tail cap, came out awesome!
Once I receive it I’ll get right on the review… 
Looks awesome mate.
Did you have to changer your tooling on the lathe seeing as Ti is harder then Aluminum?
I joined the flashlight group on Facebook and they sell custom lights like this 600+ USD its crazy.
Can’t see the new pic either, but I’m glad you did improve it :+1:
