Anyone (sinner?) know if what sinner is making would work with one of the Carclo quad optics:
and a new quad star like the one IS has started selling? I have the optics now, and some of the boards coming in, but haven’t selected/found a host yet (yes, I’m aware of the other thread).
EDIT: I think that the diameter of the optics is 24mm.
The 24mm carclo lens will not work right away but a few custom modifications will be required obviously a spacer to account for the reduced length of the mount, and a custom head with 23mm or 22mm aperture so the optics dont fall off. Currently the bezel/head cap is 32mm OD 24mm ID. Hope this helps.
Another (add’l) possibility maybe is some kind of washer (black) that would sit against the lens and have an inner diameter slightly smaller than the OD of the Carclo? It’s a bit of a hack, but it looks ok if the washer is nice.
I think best would be a heatsink made for it that is thicker to get the star and optics to the front of the lens instead of having them sit back with a spacer stealing lumens
I remember this guy that disappeared had a quad drop in that well, dropped into p-60’s.
So they should fit. Also in the realm of gaskets, there is a guy that used to sell custom GITD gaskets. I dropped him a PM to see if he is still in play. I’ll check to see if anyone else still makes them in blue. Green is so pedestrian.
Assuming that that’d be the case, i.e., that you’d be willing to potentially offer washers and spacers for a quad setup “after-market” :), put me down for 2, pending what the shipping costs to U.S. would be!
Sinner, perhaps you could offer different bases for the P-60’s. The standard base for use with a reflector, one for use with a triple and one for use with a quad.
Another idea just struck me. Could you make a spacer that threads onto the P-60 base in the same way as the reflector? Then people could just order multiple P-60 bases and spacers to have lots of different options in their builds and you only have to design one other part to open up a lot more options.
I hope I’m helping… I’m no machinist so it seems very easy not knowing what challenges this would entail.
I there any progress since last month ? I would love to see a prototype !
I really like the other copper and titanium Sinner Hosts, but over 50usd is yet too expensive to me for daily use (and i don’t want shelf (or safe) queens)
If it’s not too late I would like to jump in on this. Simply because your work is awesome and this is a cheap price! Not really concerned how it turns out, I’m sure with everyone’s suggestions it will be awesome regardless.
