Very Nice work ‘contactcr’. I love watching and learning from you guys
Wish I understood the details of your work on the driver. I like the flashlight stand

Nice light ‘gchart’ :+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 I’ve used is Fusion360. It’s too bad they’re locking out some features. Thankfully it still does everything I need in the Free version.
I’m not really familiar with it’s 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 that’s one of the CNC-related features, right?
.
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.

Here’s 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 haven’t tested this exact one but it should be fine. There’s always sand paper
I like TinkerCAD but sometime its simplicity can actually make things slower or more tedious. Here’s 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. I’m sure there are some even better methods than what I show here, but hey… I’m 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
I’m using for a long time fusion 360, and i made so much complicated project’s with this software. I think they should add some mathematics stuff like parabolic function.
Brain transplants on a batch of Sofirn TK70’s and Convoy H1’s. 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?
