Sold out: $20 HD2010 & $15 Convoy C8 copper pills

The main issue with “standard” C8’s is that there is no original C8. They’re copies of copies of copies and it’s a headache to see which pills fit which hosts. :slight_smile:

I’m open to suggestions for specific C8’s though. The Xin-TD V4’s look pretty nice. Which C8 fits your purpose?
HD2010 offers a wider reflector and thus is a heck of a thrower. Combine that with high amps from a beefy 18650 or a Moli 26650 cell, and you got yourself a winner. :slight_smile:

I’ve just returned from the machine shop and put a down payment for 40 HD2010 and 30 Convoy C8 copper pills.

Here are the changes (from the samples) that are going to be applied:
-The HD2010 pill’s surface will be flat, not drilled(as seen in the photos). The positive and negative lead holes will be diagonally cut from the edges of the 17mm driver slot to the 20mm LED PCB contact plate.
-Increase the LED PCB contact plate by 1mm for the HD2010 so that the LED would be correctly focused.

-The top height of the Convoy C8 pill will be increased by 1.5mm to increase thermal mass without compromising proper assembly.

The machinist quoted 8-10 days for the preparing and machining process from today.

I’ll be taking payments in a couple of hours. :slight_smile:

Taking payments now:

Got your payment and form, thanks!

Hey Ryan, PayPal sent for 1 HD2010 pill, with tracking, not sure if the form took the submit properly as it stayed there so I’ll wait to hear from you before I close it out.

Thanks man! :slight_smile:

Edit: form was asking for 0’s on the convoy pills I am not getting, so it’s all filed and a matter of record. :slight_smile:

Thanks, got your PP and your form submission.
It seems like you marked that you wanted 2 HD2010 pill on the form but I’m assuming you only need one?

Ah, yes, thanks for catching that! I initially was going to get 2, but sent you some extra instead. :wink:

Gotcha, fixed. :slight_smile:

Got it, thanks!

Paypal and form submitted for 1 HD2010 pill.
Cheers

Got them, thanks!

Make sure you do a nice group shot before sending them out. That’s a lot of copper! hehe :wink:

Definitely will do. It’s going to be an amazing shot. :slight_smile:

Got your PP and form Tom E.

You put 2 Convoy C8 pills, I’m assuming you meant 3? :slight_smile:

PP sent for one HD2010 and three Convoy C8 pills. Sorry - I initially indicated two HD2010's and 4 Convoy C8's, but backed off a little. I'm covering the PP fees.

Notes:

  • If you raise the pill top of the HD2010 pill, don't do it by very much, maybe 0.5mm or so -- just a tad bit.
  • The vob HD2010 pill has 6 threads, not 5, but appears to be almost 2 threads wider - the threads portion is very noticable being wider than the stock pill.
  • I'll need cleance for a 4.9A Nanjg in the HD2010 pill, so 2 layers of 7135's added on the inside. If the pill can't clear it, I'll be drilling out some copper... Would have been nice to have the clearance though.

Thanx for doing this!!

Great, thanks for your feedback.

I’ll have a visit tomorrow and tell the machinist to raise only 0.5mm. I told him to raise it by 0.75mm today, but I’ll be able to make the change before the production starts.

As for the threads, do you think we could put extra threads in the part indicated in white:

I think I might be able to do about 5 HD2010 pills with more driver space above for those who stack their AMC7135 chips.

Payment sent for 4 C8's with tracking. Thanks.
