GB- MaxToch SN6X-2X - Now Closed

Done.

Gadgetman does the dedoming in a few minutes and would not think of charging for that small service. I’ve asked him to post some tips on the process.

How does it focus after dedoming?

can you please invoice me - my paypal is jmpaul320(at)gmail.com

Thank you mudgripz. :slight_smile:

My sample light came in! Pics and some comments here.

Looks great - I seriously like my dedomed new 2X.

Here’s gadgetman’s 5 minute dedoming method:

“Basically I hold the LED board in a vice with little wooden soft jaws I made up to provide insulation. I use a hot air attachment on a gas powered soldering iron (not a gas torch) and heat the underside of the board until I see the lead flow (melt). Then I gently press down on the dome with a concave ground screwdriver and hold it for a few seconds, making sure not to move the LED. This lifts bottom of the dome around the four sides of the emitter surface as well as testing if the dome is soft enough; if not soft enough I apply a little more heat.

Once soft enough (and the solder has taken again) I lift the dome off by popping a screwdriver under the edge of the dome on the opposite side to the fine gold wires. Normally the dome will just pop off with a little pressure. If the dome does not soften enough or it is reluctant to pop off I soak in petrol. The heating and lifting of the edges speeds this process any way.

Similar to this but it pops off a lot quicker and cleaner.

Good news is—- Paid orders, which are not delivered this week, will upgrade to 7-day shipping for free. :beer:

The waiting is like a torture…… :bigsmile:

I would just like to say that there are no MAP issues with this or any MaxToch GB. That is all :bigsmile:
