Low-cost copper pills, spacers, optics, drop-ins (Updated 23/10/2022))

Yes. Custom ring is not cheap.

$3.00 for a custom machined brass ring sounds reasonable to me, certainly better than soldering one in

Hi Kiriba

can you please PM me for 2 (Copper spacer+brass centering ring set for quad mod Convoy M2)

Ok, I let my custom aluminium Pill inside.

∅20mm H1-A driver can be used soldering it to the pill with a hot air gun. H1-As maximum Vout can be modded for triples, see Jensen567's work.

:-)

This is a little job I've done with a genuine UltraFire SK98 flashlight's pill.

Inner cylinder is ∅11.1mm approximately, made of two 1mm thick copper discs. Under it is soldered to a ∅18mm 1mm thick disc, and thermal glued to the pill's balcony.

This model would thank a nice and beefy copper pill, it is very easy to mount an H1-A driver in, fits snugly.

mtnelectronics is supposed to have something in the works, available at the beginning of August! I suspect a copper pill will be quite necessary when running an XHP in an S2+

Thanks for the info mate! I’ve been reading RMM’s thread and noticed that recently :wink:
I’ll be looking for it on both thread and in MTN site! Thanks for sharing :+1:

Thanks kiriba-ru. Could you please put me down for two B158 pills?

Im sorry, it requires as much as 20x S2+ spacers in material and as much as 10x S2+ spacers machining time.
Money is not target, I left the message to finish as much custom (small quantity) orders as it is possible ATM.
If you think parts are overprices, you are welcome, just $10 for any die (I will help with tips and drawings), it would be great if another BLF member would provide this pills could keep prices at better level.

I do not have a the possibility to make something like this and I do not say, it is overpriced. But its not worth for me for this flashligt.

Got my goodies, tnx!

Now I’ll see what a triple of 351Ds will look like… :smiley:
