BLF Interest list for Very High Current Beryllium Copper springs Pt1(ENDED)

Flashlight Modding and DIY Parts
252

Iā€™ve already thought about it.

You see, I said that the max shipping price INTERNATIONALLY for less than 110 springs would be 5$US.

So, for most people, I was going to wait until I received the big springs first, test them, and if they are good, I would then request the batch for small springs to be made.

That last part however, would need to be payed for by you guys and gals, since my hobby funds are almost empty by that last purchase.

However, for some people who ordered A LOT of springs, which are:

- MRsDNF at 120 total springs

- teacher at 160 total springs

- ASF at 200 total springs

- Texas Ace at 140 total springs

  • DB Custom at 150 total springs

For these guys, it would actually be CHEAPER to send the big springs and small springs separately due to weight reasons.

TLDR: For most people, I am going to send in big and large springs together.
For the people mentioned above, it would be less expensive to send the big springs and small springs together.

Whatever works best for you BSM first & whatever is cheapest second. :slight_smile:

Thank you sir!!! :slight_smile: . :+1:

254

I bought some protected Sony VTC6 Button tops. Cant remember where off tje top of my head but if you cant find it let me know.

255

I havenā€™t been drinking(yet)ā€¦I swear. Am I just slow or is this explanation not really making sense to anyone else??

Shipping:

- If you have a total of less than 110 springs, it is cheaper to ship small and big springs together.

- If you have a total of more than 110 springs, it is more expensive to ship big and small springs together. Therefore, I will ship the big springs separately for these guys:

  • - MRsDNF at 120 total springs
  • - teacher at 160 total springs
  • - ASF at 200 total springs
  • - Texas Ace at 140 total springs
  • - DB Custom at 150 total springs

:+1: /\ ā€¦ā€¦ Makes sense to me. :slight_smile:

You are in Canada & know what the shipping costs are there. Works for me however you need to do it to keep the ā€˜shipping costā€™ down. :+1: ā€¦. :slight_smile:

My Username is joechina
you wrote joechine in the table

259

Oops, sorry.

260

BlueSwordM could I please increase my order to 30 big and 30 small?

261

BlueSwordM Iā€™m happy to pay for both the big and small springs now before you order if thatā€™s easier for you.

262

Same here BSM, Iā€™m with skinny_tie; whatever you wantā€¦. Payment in Full, partial payment, down payment, whatever you wantā€¦. you call it. :slight_smile:

263

Whenā€™s the last date to change our orders?

264

Not yet.

265

We are at 1741 big springs and 1257 small springs.

The big spring group buy will end once we get at about 1950 springs.

That is the same thing with the small spring: it will end at 1950 springs.

266

Please add 6 small and 6 big to my order.

267

Iā€™d like to add 10 more big springs and 10 more small springs to my order. Thanks!

268

Please add 20 more small springs to my order. Thanks.

List has been updated.

Ok, one last thing before the springs are being made, as the BeCu 1mm wire has been ordered and shipped.

We initially, or rather I initially, chose zinc as plating as that would be the best compromise between cost, mechanical properties, and electrical conductivity.

However, I have thought about using nickel tin for plating instead. Because tin has a lower melting point, it would be easier to solder a bypass to than zinc, if you actually need to haha, and since it is a bit softer than zinc, it would provide about better contact area with the battery, and provide about the same electrical conductivity. And nickel substrate below the tin.

So, which one would you prefer?

A zinc plating, or a nickel-tin plating?

/\ ā€¦ As far as I am concerned BSM, whatever you think best. :+1: . :slight_smile:
