Low-cost copper pills, spacers, optics, drop-ins (Updated 23/10/2022))

Crazy idea bump:

Make this and SKV and I will buy it. I mean I didnt ask him but he’s a sucker for this stuff

Same style as S11 quad but have it replace Ledil ANGIE optic with 12x XP mule MCPCB.

33mm on the bottom to match Noctigon 4XP 33mm, whatever size at top you wish that will fit above mule board height would be ~10mm and make o-ring groove like above. You could even countersink small hole in bottom to align with one of screw holes on Noctigon 4XP 33mm to prevent rotation (optional I guess). Suggest making it in copper so board can be soldered to spacer.

You would not want the wall of spacer to be against pcb so we dont block as much light from mule

Yep. I confuse you sometimes, you usually think in one direction.
I have thought about spacers for the mule config since Hank made such pcbs. I wanted to try a smaller board in S21A but realized that bezel opening is not big enough and too much light will be waisted.
It will be hard to fit o-ring like I did it in S11. Convoy lights are “meaty”, there is enough room in all directions. Noctigons (emisar) are tiny, thin and lightweight. I have never made anything for f3a or d4 or other well designed tiny lights - they are already piece of art, they are hard to improve.

P.S. I have not read much about new leds for few years. I am right if I suppose that your request comes from the fact that there are various of great leds in 3535 case, while all multi-led arrays like xhp70 still have ugly tint and not many cct options?

You can always FET+1 the XHP70.2. The 7135s aren’t technically rated for more than 6V but my L6 driver is doing fine so far.

Noctigons are tiny indeed but it is the reason I chose this combo. We need some space between LED and bezel and D4S (or even X6 w/ “Angie” spacer) is actually too big since Angie optic is ~35mm and mule MCPCB is only 24mm so we have plenty of space on sides. Height will be slim compared to some spacers but I dont see problem. Maybe you cant countersink a anti-rotation hole but everything else seems ok

Yes and xhp70 .2
Also xhp50.2, xp-l2, xp-g3, probably xm-l3 (it’s new led) too. They all have a terrible tint.

Hi, any chance you could make a Convoy C8 copper pill?

No, all Convoy C8s made last 5 years do not have pill.

I got mine this week as well, really good quality spacers! The craftmanship on them is incredible for the price, and they fit perfectly without any modifications in my S2+ triple. The thermal contact is really good as well when using quality thermal pastes, having no problem with overheating. I can only recommend them, and will probably buy more if needed.

Any idea if the triple spacers will fit the newer copper host I think it has slightly different threading

Dont see any reasons why they should not fit.

I have new copper host and “old” spacer. Working great :)

I ordered some parts a while back. They took a long time to arrive due to customs. Parts arrived well, wrapped individually and thoroughly. The manufacturing is clearly at a high level. Thanks a lot!

I would like to order 3x L21A spacers. What’s the thickness on these? 5mm?

L21A? Sorry, don’t have any spacers for this model.

I think he meant S21A

Yes S21A, sorry for the confusion!

S21A spacers in stock. Plane to plane distance is close to 5.5mm.

Fits 20mm mcpcb correct?

If so I’ll take 3, I’m building a couple quads with a 22mm optic, measurements say I need a 5mm spacer so I’m sure it will work.
