I’ve always wondered where everyone buy these GITD parts. I would like to buy a GITD gasket one day.
Btw, as always, nice mod. And another flashlight on my wish list…
I just made that quick from some spare pieces I had.
It is 20mm x 18mm square tube I had left over from earlier builds with an 18mm brass ring jb welded in place at the front, some 2mm x 2mm magnets in the corners at the rear with a Zero Tolerance knife clip. There is some felt & kapton on the inside for a friction fit.
I was reading your thread above, I have one of these copper tubes that just stopped working, I have used it daily for years and love it. It flickered the other day a few times not doesnt turn on, guessing the board has gone as everything else seems ok. I have managed to get it apart and am thinking of buying a new board but i have no idea where to start when it comes to soldering it in. Any chances of a couple of pointers for a noob? I see the board on mountain electronics but it is just a bare board with no wires, I guess id have to buy wire of some sort and solder it to the board, where to they thn solder to?
You might get in contact with Jackson. He still has several models of the Cube for sale in both battery types and he’s quite knowledgeable about the lights he sells, does mods and repairs, etc. I’ve never had this light myself but this reminds me to pick up one of those old stainless 14500 models before they disappear for good.
Just a thought, are you sure it’s the driver board and not the switch at fault - it may have just broken since it seems it’s had a lot of use, it might be worth testing it with a multimeter before buying a new driver board.
You can aslo test the driver board by using 2 lengths of wire from the + & - of the battery to the same on the board.
