I wasn’t telling that you are advertising these, but by using their terminology you give them some credit about exagerated specs !
We all know that those “new” nanowhatever boards are exactly the same standard alu boards with the thin black or white insulating layer.
BTW, I love my G700 and you should all buy one ! Tactical army power !!!
Cutter is the only place I’ve seen an mcpcb for the 35mm ledil Cute-4 optic and although they have XP and XM versions it’s non dtp. I actually wonder what optic or reflector the Noctogon 32 was designed for since it has the led footprint for the cute-3 but with an extra led pad in the center.
The eagle eye has a reflector optimized for the XPL HI led, the S2 for XM-L2.
Convoy M1 makes a nice host for the 24mm quad and Cutter T-Pad combo. Takes a bit of work for the heat sink but the host is really sweet and it’s pocketable…
I would go this route and have kiriba-ru make the copper spacer for it. I have one I did and it’s really a killer little light. 
By the way, no alu-nano plate I am going to test, after 14 days full of backorder delays I just had enough and got a Sinkpad. My last orders from SlowTech have been insanely slow. It seems they're having issues with chimpanzee training in their warehouses. 
Cheers ^:)
Match tested the copper DTP against aluminum a long time ago and had charts on the results. Aluminum stars peaked in output and current MUCH sooner than copper DTP. If spec current is all you’re doing, it’s not a big deal, but when overclocking, Copper DTP rules.
I meant this stuff: 20mm Nano-materials Base Plate for CREE MK-R/XHP70 LED Emitters
That's no ordinary baseplate, it uses a really high thermal conductivity dielectric layer (2 tiers available: 115 & 152W/mK) which presumably puts its overall thermal transfer performance on par with standard dielectric DTP copper boards.
These boards could be really handy in order to reflow 4-packs of 3'5mm of side emitters (219Bs, XP-Ls, XP-G2s, etc) in XHP70 footprints. Well, if you can get some…
Cheers ^:)
SinkPAD advertises 385.0W/m.k on their DTP copper stars, so that one is nowhere close.
I have thought about this.
This host can fit 26.5mm carclo single with minimal modifications (adding about 2mm copper plate under pcb).
Quad is smaller OD so the best way is making full height spacer.
Waiting you photos.
I don’t seem to have photo’s. I know I built one for a friend but I don’t know when it was, I remember that it was so cool I bought an M1 and built myself one. I have over 1700 pictures of flashlights I’ve worked on and built, can’t seem to find that one pictured anywhere, neither his nor mine. And, honestly, I also don’t remember who I built it for.
It’s a shelf, with a bit larger bezel and lens diameter than the 24mm quad optic, so I know I did it like the X5 triple where I had the sink full height to support the optic, and like the X5 quad for that matter.
The difference between optic and bezel aperture isn’t as great as this X5 triple, but it’s the same general principle.
The sink supports the optic fully, so the lens sits on the edge of the sink instead of pressing on the optic. In a small light, with an FET driver running triple emitters, I figured it needed all the heat sinking mass it could get.
Ok, I grabbed a few pics of mine real quick…
So as you can see here, I didn’t have a piece of copper large enough in diameter at the time to fill the bezel as I would have liked, so I just used a piece of 1”. It supports the lens, gives a lot of mass under the emitters and is glued with thermal adhesive to the shelf, so it works good, but not optimally.
Thanks Dale, I will think about.
Look at those fins! The ano is that lovely matte black, excellent little Convoy host, among the smaller 18650 lights for sure.

this optic is used in quad x6? or convoy m1?
it fits with this?:
http://www.cutter.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=cut2779
1. X6. I have some similar optics.
2. No, it won’t fit.
No, that one’s 35mm and made to go with the 32mm series board. That would more easily fit in an X6, but for the series high voltage requirement. Unless you want to run 4 series cells… lol
M1 have almost 32mm OD reflector.
I think M2 with SS bezel may be better choise. Host is little smaller, but still have enouth place to fit carclo or khatod quad with full visible optics.
Forgot about the M2, it’s almost a tube light but still has some cooling fins, yeah, that too would work quite well. Hard to go wrong with a Convoy.
oh you are right,very nice model…wish to understand better flashaenglish…i ask the same again and again:))
