Put me down for one with the Khatod optics. I just got some of Richards new catch on the Nichia 219C emitters so I’ll use those. 
Thanks for the opportunity! 
PS: If you want to make an 18350 copper tube to go with it I’m in for that as well. 
Edit: Thread confirmation, very new Convoy C8 with integral shelf, matte finish. These are the non-anodized threads that go in the head…
Thanks will34. That’s definitely truncated V thread, so we are all good to go! :partying_face:
For sure Dale! (not about the 18350 tube tho, lol)
Dang!
I don’t know how to cut those threads or I’d make my own tube. Guess I have yet another thing to learn…
I’d tell you how to cut those threads if not for the fact that I think you’d be wasting your time with an 18350! But seriously, it’s just a standard metric thread with 1.5mm pitch. Pay no mind to the flat at the root and you’re golden.
I might as well make bodies and tail caps tho after I get the heads out there. Full hosts, one piece at a time. :smiling_imp: I messed around with a couple of patterns the other day:
I tried so hard to avoid this thread, but I’m in. Not sure which one yet
I have Sinner EDC lights in triple format with 18350’s, and my Cu X5 Quad runs on the 650mAh 14500 just fine. Something about a very compact but seriously robust light that get’s the giggle going for me…
The small grip on the right.
Interested in Khatod version… thanks!
I’d be interested in aluminum instead of copper also. If aluminum is not an option, keep me down for a copper version.
Blasphemy!
Ooh those designs
And then in bare ALU or copper. Nice!
Full hosts are better. And include copper star for LEDs. But price…
I like this, similar to the vague idea I posted in the S2 pill thread, but actually designed properly. And the C8 would be a better platform for something like this than the S2/S2+. So I am interested in one of these.
The M2 might be another one to look at for a custom triple head. Bigger than the S2, but still more pocketable than the C8.
+1… The M2 has one of the beefiest tube I’ve seen in any light.
The M2 appears to have square threads, which I can’t presently cut due to tooling limitations. Convoy C8 V2 / V3 is nice and cheap, has a great finish, a thick tube, and I can cut the threads. The tailcap end might be a trapezoidal thread though, it is hard to tell, but no matter in this case, and no matter if I made a host from scratch since it wouldn’t need to be compatible.
Just wanted to say you’ll had me at Copper and Quad. With the Cree XP-G3’s coming out this would be a perfect little wonder light.
Nice project! I always wanted a triple or quad led light. I have S2+ and C8 so I’m good with any of them
If required I could give you some high resolution images (36mp) taken with a macro lens of the various threads on the M2 and the newest C8.
I would still like to see a version built for the S series though, the S8 tube has triangular threads.
Put me down for one.
Any chance of getting one to suit an XinTD C8? If not, I will make do with the Convoy, I just prefer the XinTD.
Put me down for 1 please khartod quad c8
