FYI, this was $24.63 shipped and thatās with this weird color and me probably creating the most complex/not-optimized print.
Working with wood you would have to like chisel out the clip slots or forego that functionality. IMO having them fit tight in the holes and creating clip slots was worth it.
@contactcr Very nice! What design software did you use?
My āmodā today is inspired from my entry in this yearās Old Lumens contest. While that touch lamp is cool, itās really not feasible for my kids to use and itās not very reproducible.
So I designed a new housing with Fusion360 and printed it on my 3D printer using PETG (after a couple revisions to get all the dimensions just right). I designed a simple circuit board in Eagle and sent it off to Oshpark using their After Dark service. Iām also using an off-the-shelf TP4056 charging board with protection features.
Put that together and Iāve got a nice compact very simple on/off touch lamp with built in charging.
I used TinkerCAD which I guess is AutoDeskās free online tool.
Iāll share it when I modify the AAA slots in case someone else wants the same design or wants to modify it themselves.
Cool. Yeah, TinkerCAD is a great place to start.
Very Nice work ācontactcrā. I love watching and learning from you guys 
Wish I understood the details of your work on the driver. I like the flashlight stand

Is that your Home Shop ? If so, that is Sweet :heart_eyes:

Nice light āgchartā :+1:
Could you tell me what 3D Printer you have ?
Also, I gave up on Fusion 360 after Autodesk killed it for cnc use.
I have FreeCad installed but I have not played with it yet.
Do you have any suggestions for a free cad software for a 3D printer ?
.
Thanks CNCman! Besides the basic TinkerCAD, the only CAD software Iāve used is Fusion360. Itās too bad theyāre locking out some features. Thankfully it still does everything I need in the Free version.
Iām not really familiar with itās usage for CNC. I know they originally announced the removal of several features, but then on Sept 25th they back tracked on that and decided to keep STEP export. I know thatās one of the CNC-related features, right?
This is my last mod. Mf04 with driver from mf04s and Gt-fc40 led with 4000k 90cri.
There is my aux board too.
Total overkill with FC40!

Yes, the removal of STEP file export was a shot over the bow warning that it will be permanently removed in the future. So after a year of watching Youtube videos and practicing drawing models and i was just starting programming 3D models, Autodesk did what i was afraid they might do and kill it. The STEP export will be removed in the future, so i deleted it and loaded Freecad.

Very nice āWallKillerā Love those blue lights !! :heart_eyes:
Do you have any pics on the blue lights ?
.
Hmmm, i donāt make so much pictures but you can find something on my FB page:
Iām new in this stuff, I like projecting pcbās and flashlights so I combined it to modder hobby.
Hereās the files for 3D printing/editing of my design. I modified the AAA slots to be a bit wider than what I printed so I havenāt tested this exact one but it should be fine. Thereās always sand paper

Again, nice job!
I like TinkerCAD but sometime its simplicity can actually make things slower or more tedious. Hereās a brief example of how you could quickly create something like that in Fusion360 (free version) in case you ever feel like something a bit more powerful. Iām sure there are some even better methods than what I show here, but heyā¦ Iām still learning too 
Thanks for taking the time to make this. At least for this example this program seems only incrementally harder while having a lot more features. I will definitely try it out for future designs
Iām using for a long time fusion 360, and i made so much complicated projectās with this software. I think they should add some mathematics stuff like parabolic function.
inspired by youā¦
triple mod done by moderator007, my favorite SuperHero
Look what Kal-El just flew in with, from Smallville:
Jetbeam TCR-1 triple dedome LH351D 3500k
400 lumens on 16340
Love it!
Looks just like the golden hour at sunset.
Brain transplants on a batch of Sofirn TK70ās and Convoy H1ās. They all got RampingIOS (D4 V2 UI) via an attiny412. Drops right in place of the stock MCU.
This is what the hobby probably needs more of. Direct-swap MCUs so we can fix the firmware on lights more easily than having to come up with an entire replacement driver.
Of course the next question is: Who is gonna put Anduril on a Zebralight?
