Allright guys, i’m done wrestling with the pixels…
Must say i ran into the limits of what i work with quite often, and still i had many many options, but i think it ain’t half bad like this:
The shelf for the LED sits in the middle of the fins.
Simple lines, not only because it’s very difficult (for me) to do otherwise, but also with the production costs in mind.
And i like simple lines too.
The anti rolling blocks are now milled into the head, which is easier to do properly.
This is with a 100mm deep reflector.
I hope you like it, although i only have this simple view of it, i have no 3D model.
Nice pics Jerommel, I like the one on the right the most. Albeit you put a lot of effort in it I have to confess I like Fritz 15 light more. But as you say, yours will be easier to manufacture, less milling.
Also, just because I am firmly in favor of Design 2. I don’t want anyone to think I have anything against the other designs. They are great and a lot of hard work was put into them.
Just because they are not what I think this light was meant to look like, doesn’t distract from the fact they are great designs.
I would love to see each of them made into their own flashlight and I would gladly buy them.
Wow, when I saw that quad I fell in love! That's definitely my favorite so far.
This thread is insane. I missed a few days and it took me a week to catch back up! You guys are doing an awesome job with this project. Every single design is top notch.
Dude, haven’t you been paying attention? This has all been worked out.
It will only require 4 potatoes provided they are a non-GMO/organic heirloom variety… or 8 standard potatoes provided they fit in the potato carrier.
Well said brother. :+1: Not only are we looking at five four (no offense Mr. Potato Head) excellent designs, but I’ll challenge anyone who’s followed this thread from start to finish to tell me they haven’t learned along the way. This thread has been all over the map and even included a few bar-room-brawls but through it all the dominant theme here is pure BLF. Brilliant innovation, excellent discussion, massive amounts of data, charts, graphs and links to websites and tools to further all of our knowledge, passionate arguments for and against all sides of every issue…what more could you ask for?
