Vinh sells these lights and I believe not just a few. Maybe he would be interested in buying a number of cover plates?
Please add another heatsink for me, 2 in total. Thank you.
interested i will take one
I’ll take two pieces
If I understand correctly, we will need a magnet to ensure contact between the battery and the driver. But in this case, there is a danger that the magnet will make a short circuit to the custom radiator.
I thought he also makes protective stickers, but generally with this plate a magnet is a bad idea and its not needed as the positive button is raised
I sent Mateminco the CAD files, I hope they decide to use them on next batch or even replace it on any future lights leaving fab after they got them made
Interested in 1.
Thank you!
Please add one more for me. 3 total. THanks
Likewise, please put me down for one more, for a total of three (3). Thanks!

I hope Mateminco can do an aluminum version that’s anodized, so any shorting issues would be not that much of a problem
copper or brass is nice but the type of material does not play a big role here, its relative few heat on a big surface
I have posted in his sales thread this topic but he (looks to me) furiously deleted it.
CPF is strong there...
Interesting…normally he is a nice guy.
Was it him who deleted it or maybe someone else?
Did you direct the offer at him or at readers?
It shows that last edit was done by him. I have posted openly in his thread where guys were dicussing about heat and quick step down...
Whatever, he’s been informed
He like many others on CPF have been warned by CPF moderators to not allow any links to BLF. It’s not that Vinh don’t want to allow BLF links but he might get banned by CPF and he relies on CPF for his business to pay his bills
Yep, that’s what am thinking. Like i said, he has info so he might jump in.
No, there ist no magnet needed with the actual design (V2.1), only in my first mod (V1) with the old design, while I was using an aluminum heatsink I was using a magnet, because it was to scary for me.
In the new V2.1 design there is a cutoff around the connector button (plus pol of the battery), so the plus pol button is 1 mm raised, additionally i deliver such isolation stickers for the top surface, see the description in post one.
Thanks for doing this Lexel, we will see what they will decide and do with this idea and design.
I have another expectation for that, I think the copper version will perform better in some diffucult situations, like top ramp with a fully loaded high drain battery. Copper has way more density, therefore can take more heat energy in the first few seconds and due to the better thermal conductivity bring this heat faster away to the body.
Maybe I’m wrong with this, but we will see, in a few days I will provide my test results of both options with runtime graphs before and after the mod.
Brass is not comparable in this case, due to the very limited space and a three times worse thermal conductivity than copper. (Copper 380W/mK, Aluminum 236 W/mK, Brass 120W/mK).
It would be interesting to see the images of the thermal imager and the effectiveness of the “copper” - extending the heating of the AMS, if, of course, it can be distinguished separately from the LED (in the thermal imager) …
I have a professional IR imager, but copper is bad needs to be not reflective like anodized aluminum, sticker might help
Not sure if I can get a free sample with national envelope here in Germany, does not need be a parcel
The production of the first batch is not yet started. I received only two samples of the CNC-machined final version (V2.1), one of them is on the way to ZozzV6 for testings, the other one i keep for my own testings. Zozz will make a review of the MF01 mini and test this mod in addition and provide the results.
Later, as soon as the first batch is ready for shipping, we can talk about test samples, sorry for that.
Anyway, i will earn nearly nothing with all this project, the production costs in germany are quite high, so I mostly doing this just for fun and for the community.
