What did you mod today?

I used TinkerCAD which I guess is AutoDesk’s free online tool.

I’ll 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 ‘contactcr’. I love watching and learning from you guys :sunglasses:
Wish I understood the details of your work on the driver. I like the flashlight stand :+1:

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

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?

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 ‘WallKiller’ Love those blue lights !! :heart_eyes:
Do you have any pics on the blue lights ?
.

Hmmm, i don’t make so much pictures but you can find something on my FB page:

I’m new in this stuff, I like projecting pcb’s and flashlights so I combined it to modder hobby.

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 :person_facepalming:

Again, nice job!

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 :slight_smile:

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.

inspired by you…
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!:slight_smile:

Looks just like the golden hour at sunset.

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?

The Thrunite T2 UI is really making me hate it. Great form factor but shit UI (IMO) and terrible pocket clip = doesn’t get used.

Dang. By the looks of it I thought the T2 was going to be a sweet light. Guess I didn’t pay any attention to the UI. :frowning:
