Hi, I’m thinking about joining the machine made category. Is making a drop-in acceptable, even though it isn’t a complete light?

Making a drop-in is an acceptable entry for the Modified Light category. To enter the Machine Made category, the entire light housing and drop-in would need to be made by you.

For clarification, I believe a battery holder similar to the plastic type in this link would be suitable for a Challenge entry. Correct?

I have been meaning to build a lantern… Maybe I’ll come up with something. I have an idea, but idk if I have the tools or skills to pull it off. May do something simpler as a “learning experience” for the one I really want to build.

Not yet decided if I want to build another aluminum hosing or to try enter the world of 3D printing.

Does it counts as "outside services" if I am using the 3D printer in my office?

PS: thanks for everyone involved

Just created my build thread.

I made a thread, not much to see yet.

I am actually withdrawing my entry for time and budget reasons. I’m not going to have anything ready.

Here is my entry i am in the hand built thread , hopefully it will get done.

EDSG Hand Built Thread - The 10th Annual Old Lumens challenge (finished)

Well better late than never i think the saying goes. If i will finish i am not sure. This is the official build thread for Everydaysurvivalgear my entry is in the hand built contest for the 10th Annual Old Lumens challenge. Thank you to Hoop for organising this years challenge and thank you to all the sponsors that make the Old Lumens Challenge possible. I wanted to make a hexagon shape light but apparently my mitre box had other ideas lol i think you need a 45 degree angel and not a 90 degree …

[wcddesign]

I think I have components and tentative plans for four lights and a laser… I just haven’t had any time to work on them.

If I do anything in time for OL10, it will have to be a one-day project and post. There’s a keychain type light I’ve been meaning to build that I might be able to do quick enough.

So, this is my “flash” entry in the BLF OL Contest of 2022! I‘ve thought about entering for a while, but I had no project in mind, until recently.
