So do u guys want this done or not ? if so just post so i can cancel my order on the material
Are you having trouble understanding the two posts you quoted? [Both DBCstm and Stittville Ed are suggesting that you stick with your original plan make a heatsink shaped like DBCstm’s drawing.]
Most posters seem to be in favor of you sticking with that plan. In my opinion the worst case scenario (other than a run of undersized parts) isn’t that bad: it’s simply a higher than necessary cost and the requirement of sanding or filing to get good acceptable fitment.
Stick to the plan and start making chips!!!
Oh that's good to hear because i really want to see these turn out for everyone
Nitro, did you give the machinist an X6 to use as a baseline in order to ensure the diagram leads to his part fitting the light? Or is he going to make the part off the diagram alone?
I gave him my BLF X6 :( but it will be a perfect fit for that host,like i said here or to u dale i can send out the heatsink to the members who would like to try it out ? just pay the member who has it the postage necessary and they can send it to them then back to me when done....
Thumbs up.
Hmmm, so second batch is a different one…I wonder if the WW batch is also different 
I may have to cancel my interest, or at least put it on hold knowing that they could have changed it all yet again, unless you are getting a WW in to measure too?
B42, to my knowledge there’s only one time the light underwent a change…from stock to the BLF Special Edition. With the thicker copper MAXToch star they Might have cut the emitter shelf a little deeper, I don’t know this for sure but it’s been suggested. It’s not undergoing any changes throughout this Group Buy To My Knowledge.
I'm in no rush,i got my machine guy,i have LOTS of copper and aluminum coming and i got u guys to back me up on any mistakes :) maybe ill contact the supplier and see if they kept records of any changes on the host ??
nitro I think you are going to cost to cost me some $. 
X6 ordered 9-24-2014 ——2.5mm deep X 21+mm Wide. Not 20mm. ——— BLF SPL == 2.0mm deep X 21+mm wide, ordered 11-03-2014… I ordered 3 on 11-13-2014. They are on a Slow Boat from China. I would get more # before You order HS. I will CK the last 3 when I get them.
Hey nitro, do you have any idea what you expect the shipped price for USA people will be? (Assuming that you ‘stick to the plan’ of course with both the ~31mm and ~20mm shelves.)
Well i can have 2 options,i can ship using usps priority shipping and i think thats little over $5 or if u order 1-2 i can ship them in a bubble mailer for around $3ish but priority will be best since it has $50 insurance included ?
How much is it going to cost me for postage to Australia?
I’m still definitely in for one as I said previously. I would like it to stay the same as the original design with the contact on the 20mm shelf.
It should not be that much ill have more info once i have them in hand to check the weight ect....the sample is half way done and materials has been shipped :)
So the price will be:
- materials cost ($6?) plus
- machine shop cost ($10?) plus
- shipping ($3?) plus
- your compensation for handling (x?) etc
is that in the ballpark?
here is a close price list for the heatsink in COPPER is $12.00 plus the shipping
for this design in copper will be $18 plus the shipping
in aluminum im asking $12 plus the shipping
and this in aluminum im asking $9
Cool, thanks for the info Nitro. Priority Mail flatrate envelope is <$6 I think, w/the free hard envelope, so the little heatsink should be <$18 ‘shipped’ in the USA I think.
Either a box or double bubble to ensure the heavy part doesn’t arrive with a dinged corner. I believe Mattaus shipped his P60’s in bubble mailers with extra wraps around each piece. Should fit nicely in one of Rich’s little boxes.
if that is $6 for a flatrate envelope ill just use a priority box for $5.85 with insurance ???? if ordering one i can use a double mailer ?
ill probable be offering a discount if orders are over 4pcs mix with either heatsinks so will see once here
