Lots of inspirational stuff on this page, as ever 
Liking the Pico mod CRX!
The FW3/NovaTac heat sinks are a bit heavier hand fit to a slight press fit, to the bored out body/head …. they can run a bit longer Turbo runs than the FW3A’s can.
. The first triple uses a copper sink pressed fit into an aluminum slug, brass signal tube and a FW3 driver.
It is a Heavy little Beastie…. but with the great knurling feels substantial in the hand…
The single emitter FW3/NovaTac uses an aluminum sink, brass signal tube and FW3 driver
20mm MCPCB pocket…easily change out emitter’s on 20mm DTP boards and in this case during the initial build a 3v 50.2 (it’s been changed numerous times so far)
The other 2 I have just made MCPCB’s to fit the better stock drivers… one with a XP-L V4 3C and the other with a Nichia 219B….
All of them run the brass signal tube as do most of my FW3’s and FW3 shorty mods…
Here is a stock driver updated board and Nichia 219B LED running the 18350… Future sink/driver upgrade? Maybe? I do have a few left over and the pills/sinks are pretty easy to make.
I missed that crx! wow you clever wee bugger you!
I knew it could be done…… and if there was anyone who could do it……. stunning!
It is fantastic to see someone turn something unused and basically would have gone in the bin, into a masterpiece! the true spirit of modding. :+1:
Oh and have you named it surely it’s got to be the CRX ‘Puff Drive’ lol! 
Awesome mods 
Very cool! Reminds me of this:
This is STUNNING:
Hard to believe this was a vaping device! Looks like a curious Cool Fall Spy-007 variant. You should consider making a run of these.
What’s the funny looking thing on the desk? No, not the glowing cube. The grey thing with all of the buttons. :confounded:
Isn’t that a fax machine?
Naw, pretty sure it’s a copier. An ex-ee-rox, I think.
You got me, that’s got to be it.
Actually, it’s just a touch tone multi-line office phone. Not a Xerox/copier. The back has a slot for holding papers… Back in the late 1960’s copiers / fax machines were much, MUCH larger.
I finally finished my brass s2 clone triple - just waiting for the illuminated tail cap….
Wow!
How much current are you going to be running in that?
I have no idea - electronics is my weak point… the driver is an A17dd as in the X6 - it’s powerful though and wipes out my fw3a totally when side by side. I thought the fw3a was more powerful, but it would ‘look’ not. Maybe it is on paper, I dunno lol (maybe it’s coz it’s slightly more focussed). I have the hi’s in my fw3a too!
Nice work GO0SE
Looks good. Since you use a lathe, maybe you can widen the bezel opening slightly (without compromising the slot for the o-ring) to get more light out.
Now I discussed this……… I thought about ‘unholing’ the holes lol - as in rounding the bezel to the 3 circles/lenses.
CRX pointed out the o ring (which is kinda square and you can see in the pics) might pop out. I think he’s right. It would look funky, but you’d have to lose the ring - maybe silicone the optic in around top edge off the optic if waterproofing were a worry - but it could be done.
Still, I don’t think I’ll bother…….yet……
I am looking to put goldish leds on the illuminated tailcap, and am getting some goldy/yellow gitd powder for a gasket.
I may get another one later and sell it/ them now I know what’s involved …. I’m kinda in love with this one now, it’s moved into my 3 faves….and because i made it, it’s all the better lol! (more so it works)
Thank mate! 
Wow. Some orsm mods and builds going on. Love the work guys.
