14500 FW1A's (Nitecore d10 with Anduril)

I have a D10 in mint condition…somewhere. I gave up on it a few months after i bought it because the battery was always dead. There was some kinda parasitic discharge bug if i recall that Nitecore wouldn’t acknowledge. I would love to do an emitter/driver swap. What would you charge if i sent you mine?

Edit: I had to dig around and find it. I was wrong, it’s a D11 R5. Would still love to have it modded.

D11 is the same thing internally, just different body and firmware. My first piston drive experience & mod was an 11.2.

I sent ya a PM.

Ill take whatever is left

That is too cool, great job!

Interested in the used one if other offers fall through.

CK hasn’t been around for a while. I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Lmao I didnt realize this post was so old. whoops.

I had sent a pm a few weeks back and didn’t get any reply yet. hopefully all is well!

can anyone sleuth out what driver Cereal_killer used from this info:

I dont know what a Mini GT driver is, yet…
nor what driver is in the actual lights that a couple lucky people bought…

is it a Lexel thing?

@Cereal_killer I hope you’re ok, and returning again.

Might you be able to convert one of my D10s with an FET & Anduril?

Possible, but CK frequently made his own drivers. Hard to say unless a purchaser speaks up.

Edit: yup, see here: What did you mod today? - #8285 by Cereal_killer

thanks

I guess thats keyword oshpark = custom driver, not commercially available…

I can’t make it out in the boards, where does the e-switch path connect?

It looks like something that could be put together pretty easily. But I don’t have a D10 or anything remotely close to take measurements with or to test it on.

a ring around the outside of the driver

that is contacted when the sprung split ring is depressed by the piston

pics are links

All you would need is an anduril driver with the switchwire connected to a thin suitably sized underside insulated copper or brass washer fixed onto the driver.

I asked Lexel a while back if he had any suitable drivers, nothing came of it. If it helps, I snapped some (bad) photos of my D11 driver and can be seen in Lexel’s driver thread .

Have had my eye on this thread for a bit, as I have a D11 and have often wondered about the change of getting Anduril on it.

One of the light in this thread just re-sold; posting here so this thread has a pointer to it, for people interested:

(Lol I’d have considered buying it and selling my unmodified D11 - but missed it by a handful of hours, dang :slight_smile: )

Can you modify my existing D10 ? I would love this set up, i still love my D10 form factor and slightly more through beam pattern, AND I love the tint, and UI of my new FWAA (219CT 4000k) but the accidental push on the FWAA is a major problem. I keep looking for a FWAA but in a better “easier to carry” form factor that wont accidently turn on in my pocket, but with that nicer rosy 4000k - 4500k tint, high CRI and no green. I think i have 2 working D10 and 1 broken D10. Are you still doing these mods? Also, with the newer driver, will it also take a standard 1.5v AA or does it have to be 14500 like the FWAA ?
