word to the wise, from your friendly hijack monitor
I invite USAll to remember to stay on topic, so Sofirn does not think were just a bunch of random talkers
ON topic: new Sofirn AAA twisty
Off topic: glow powder
I know, it was about the holes in the AAA twisty, but really it has zero to do with what Sofirn needs to know to start printing Light Bodies!
Lets not do what the FW3B thread did… just random talk to fill time while nothing gets done
I think its time for a prototype Sofirn RoachLight… they got the tube right, the clip right, the tail right, and the LED right… Now pot it and shoot it… I bet it stays lit…
and Im glad gurdygurds is here to help drop, drag and throw one around… I bet it stays lit during that too
how hard can it be to pot an LED into a tube with a battery inside… lets GitErDone
Let’s not forget that the Klarus Mi02, which is a blatant E01 clone that survived many torture tests on CPF, was ceremoniously tossed off of a 3 story parking garage along with my E01 and DIED upon impact while the E01 giggled and continued to function like ain’t nuttin happened. It might be tougher than one thinks to equal the toughness of The Toughest.
I got notice that the “engineers dont’ think it will help with parabolic reflector. Would be better to keep the E01 reflector design”
That does not sound like they did much experimenting, but since here on the forum the opinions about the reflector shape varied anyway I will not stress them anymore about it.
(bypassing opinions, I will do some experimenting myself at some point so that at least afterwards I can tell the world that I was right about it )
I think the tail should be simple, no magnet, as that doesn’t interact well with many other keychain items, trait slot is good but not necessary. Pocket clip for sure, even as an optional accessory.
In regards to the reflector… in a 5 mm light the reflector usually doesn’t do a whole lot. The led has a lens molded into it, this makes the most difference. The conical, brushed aluminum of the e01 is probably the easiest to machine and therefore cheapest.
Spend money on knuckling if anything.
Hey guys! Thanks to the 26 people who have already responded to the survey. If you haven’t taken it, here is the link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SH8J7BS
Thanks Docc, 29 responses already gives a picture. Let’s run the poll for one more day and end it together with TheShadowGuy’s poll for the complete picture.
Could you post the link once more so that people do not have search for it?
Edit:link is already below
Lots of page here, but I just heard about it. I saw in the original post an unbelievably low price; can anybody clarify what the projected pricing is? Assuming something reasonable count me in for two- do I just sign up to the google doc?
