Is the slicing height the distance between the PCB and the top of a washer sitting on it?
I.e. A recommended 1mm slicing height would simply be: place a “1mm thick washer” on the PCB around an LED and use it as a guide to slice the top of the dome off.
I only ask to rule out measuring from the top/square bit of the LED to the top of the dome. :student:
Yes that is TimMc, place a 1mm thick washer around the emitter just over the MCPCB, and use it as a slicing guide. You remove most of the dome, but still leave a protective layer on the led. It should sort of look like an XP-L HI emitter.
Hello Simon,
Since I modded my Z1 with a 4 LEDs 10W IR emitter … so now I’d like to “know” when it lighten up or turned off (without looking directly at the LEDs which emit a dim red when ON) : could it be possible to get a lighted switch that would fit the Z1?
Had to goggle the light to see a pic of the switch. Looks like the SS switch that comes on the colored-body S2+es.
There’s a translucent ring around the button that can leak out some light, so while it wouldn’t be bright, you could swap in a lighted-switch board underneath for a perfectly usable indicator ring.
Or drill out and rethread the hole to use the blue-lit rubber-capped switch (on the Convoy website).
Point being, don’t think there’s a lit SS switch that’d be a drop-in fit.
