What did you mod today?

[thefreeman]

Nice, what optic is that ?

Thanks JaredM.

Cheap eBay microscope got an upgrade

The little coin cells finally died but instead of replacing them I replace the whole thing with a QX5252 circuit that is powered by a single AAA battery. The cool white emitter has also been replaced with 4000k rngwn 5mm

Ouch. Did the optic survive that?

… and also the fully tightened bezel gave me this:

Ouch! It seems every mod has its own challenges, but glad you figured it out.

Any beam shots of the dual emitter? Curious how/if it changed the beam.

FW3A w/ 1x Osram Red Flat (as secondary) and 2x Samsung LH351D (as primary) flashed with Anduril 2

Yes, it did. I was surprised how heavy anna optic is in comparison with carclo quad.

Im glad you asked… I also wondered

Impressed I am. :+1:

My Sanremu knives!
I bough 2 “spyderco-like” pocket clips and some screws/rivets and finally gave them deep carry clips

Finally got the boards in to convert my Amutorch E3 to Anduril2 with RGB Aux LEDs. It was a very tedious mod, but after a couple setbacks I think it turned out really well. I made a custom attiny1616-based FET+1 driver and used Loneoceans’s RGB Aux board for the FW3x series.

My E3S came in - the last purple they had in-stock on their aliexpress store. The UI is steaming hot garbage, so: is this board/BOM available? I think assembly will be easier on the shorty at least.

[gchart]

My boards are available on Oshpark, so are Loneoceans’s if you’re interested in the aux. Almost all parts are fairly standard FET+1 components with the exception of the attiny1616 instead of the attiny85. Unfortunate with the chip shortage those are pretty much impossible to get right now.

Awesome thanks - I forgot to check again, and the last time I looked I didn’t see it (may have been my oversight).

I’ve actually got an assembled loneoceans aux board from my Lume1 which I’ve decided is unusable (due to lack of RPP). I’ll order it eventually, between that and the 1616.

"GT90 Mini" - OK, so i know others have done this already, but what a FUN setup. Gt mini pro (OP reflector) with the sbt90.2 in it. I selected the mini pro because of its higher amp driver, otherwise i really wanted to use a smooth reflector version like the standard GT mini. But the OP reflector actually works pretty well, and i am definitely getting close to the KCD if not more than my ft03 xhp50.2.. Going to take some measurements after i tidy up the install of the sbt90.2 by reaming the reflector and centering it a bit better.

Haha that’s awesome! How quickly and how hot does it get on turbo?

[ArtieT59]

I have the thermal regulation turned off (thanks to the awesome gt driver) and honestly it takes about a minute which is way better than I thought it would be. I feel like I can push it more, I may try bypassing the springs this weekend see if that gets me anywhere. I am running a molicel P26a battery. It is fun though!

Tiablo A8 with 5A driver and SST40

[Scallywag]

So today I built my old Thorfire VG-10S light into a gift for my father, who will be visiting soon (finally everyone is vaccinated and he gets to meet his 9mo granddaughter).

• LD-A4 driver at 6A
• Luxeon V with on-MCPCB NTC
• Large BlueSwordM springs at each end

I also almost completed my Sofirn D25S build - only to realize I only had one 16mm 3535 MCPCB. D’oh!

• LEDIL Anna TIRs
• LH351D “Dogfarts” (SPHWHTL3DA0GF4RTS6) 5000K nominal
• Quadrupel Fet+1 Anduril driver
• Pink switch LEDs (since my D10 has red)
• Thanks to both Quadrupel and Tom E for this one

And then I reflowed Nichia 219b sw45k into my Thrunite Ti5T. Gorgeous.

I have more mods planned but that’s all I had time for tonight.
