MF01 Mini / MT07- Mod/Upgrade - Copper Heatsink Cover Plate

Payment send for 2

Thank you

@All who’s done the payment for the 2nd batch, thank you. You’re all should have got a PM from me with a confirmation of the payment. If not, please let me know.
Tomorrow I will start to prepare the shipments.

Got mine yesterday, thanks mate :slight_smile: now to find some time to do it and the sw45k swap.

I heard back from you about the 2nd batch and sent my money. I can’t wait to try it out and have this light live up to its potential!

:open_mouth: sw45k swap sounds nice, please let us know how well it worked and how beautiful the beam has become.

I’ve got D220s and D200s - I think I’ll stick with 220 for higher output but a bit closer to BBL. It’s gonna be real pretty :slight_smile: will stick with 15A 26650 for it so I don’t need to bother writing a custom firmware.

Got your payment with detail description, all clear so far. But I miss your PM with address information, please provide me the info where to ship.

Ok, I managed to put in mine and decided to do a small review. Originally I posponed installing this plate because I wanted to wait until I manage to flash it to correct rhe voltage measurement. So this copper thermal path works great. At 24° C room temterature the flashlight didnt throttle down from max ramp in 2 minutes. The head and body also get quite warmer during rampimg than before this mod. In general I didnt notice any output difference (visually) in minutes after turn on. Without the mode it dropped down to visually half intensity in seconds. All in all fucking amazing mod! Thank you man of light!

And and just an FYI. This flashlight is not flashing friendly. You got to unsolder 5 cables, 3 of th really small and really thing, disassemble everything to get to the Attiny85 MCU. All in all it was an interesting experience and I learned a lot about flashing and Anduril firmware, but I am not going to flash anything without pogo pins in the future. Everything is very tight and small inside and its easy to damage components on board easily. EMISARs are much more flashing friendly.

Thanks also to Dr.Phillip for highlighting and initiating investigation of the problem.

I’m going to replace the existing wires with much longer ones and squeeze it all in the cavity so I can pull the driver board without de-soldering cables again :slight_smile:

Hi Paul

Thanks for the reminder, Just send you another PM for the shipping address

Thank you and more power.

Payment sent, PM also.

Thank you!

Recently I installed the copper heatsink in my Mateminco MT07.

It is a huge improvement. The thermal properties are better than a FF E07 now as it gets hot only slowly. The whole head heats up until the flashlight steps down. Before, it stepped down even on Turbo before the head got hot. The copper heatsink upgrade made the MF01 mini or MT07 suitable for real world use as it can sustain a certain high output now. Thank you, man of light, for making this possible. :+1: :person_with_crown:

Thank you guys for your feedback, I’m happy to hear that it works well for you.
Now enjoy your lights in the way they was originally thought/designed.

Oh and I forgot to mention something. The copper plate fitts perfectly on the aluminium ones, but the copper and brass seem to have slightly different tolerances or dimensions. The brass one was abit “snug” but I managed to press it in with my fingers, but the copper one was harder. I resorted to using plastic rod and a small screwdriver head as a hammer to gently tap it in. It didnt take long and wasnt destructive, but I couldnt just press it in with fingers. So if you have the copper/brass ones you might have to use some gentle tap tap.

Oh, sorry I was not aware of this fact, that the aluminum, brass and copper versions have different inner dimensions.
Maybe it is only the coating of the brass and copper one, that slightly increases the surface volume.

My copper version is on the way, as soon as I get it, I will analyze this fitting issue.

Maybe it is just the surface coating, it was not really an issue. Nothing a person who resorts to modding couldnt do. It didnt require any ajustements or any changes to components, just some force. It works great on brass and copper as well, no other issue.

INTERESTED in 2.

Thanks man of light!

I’m interested in one.

I’d like a few
