Simple feed ramps for deep-carry pocket clips for Zebralight
I have a couple deep carry pocket clips for Zebralights made by third parties. One thing I didn’t like about them is how when I slip them on, the top of my pocket or belt slides into the clip and then stops when it hits the ledge with the screw holes. I then have to manipulate the light to ride over that ledge to fully seat the light as deep as possible.
To address this I made a couple simple feed ramps. These are made from single piece of sheet aluminum cut by hand with big scissors. They have slots that fit around the screws and cannot come out without removing the screws. The metal piece then extends below the clip, bends downward into a ramp and has two side pieces which also bent down.
I used the same sheet of black anodized aluminum sheet for these ramps. The topside of the sheet is black, while the bottom side has a bronze coloring.
They work quite well. Now when I clip these on the light no longer hang up. It always fully seats into the clip.
These ramps have another benefit: One of the clips had deeply countersuck holes. So deep that the clip wouldn’t tighten when screwed onto the light as the screw holes on the light weren’t deep enough. The metal flange which goes around the screw holes slightly lifts up the clip and allows it to screw it in tightly.
Looks good Yorick! They’re 1206 SMD LEDs.
.Thanks Neutral fan!
Emisar D1, green ano, modded with a SFT40 and 5amp / FET enabled d4v2 driver. All of the mods i have done like this so far have been 7.5amp CC, but i used the FET driver bc i was planning on something else with it. I am running a 10amp Panasonic 3450mah battery and it is BRIGHT, and not overdriving the LED at all. Going to do my next one with an FET as well. green lighted switch is for style points :))
This is awesome. Good mod!
This is great. I regret selling my green D1.
not much of a mod :
Sofirn HS40 is a very nice upgrade on the SP40, but I don’t like HS40 tube design… and I like a lot SP40 and Wurkkos HD15 ones and they lego with each other!
So I use HD15 with SP40 18650 tube and HS40 with HD15 18650 tube (and SP40 with its 18350 tube)
I modified a piece of these deer antler , to make scales for this Cub Scout knife .
It came out like this

Thanks for sharing Xandre. 
What are these balls? Polishing tools?
How precise did you have to be with focusing the collar over the phosphor?
Lapping,yeah.
Very precise like allways with collar,
Cause of the screws
it was the easiest collar ever to install.
Regards Xandre
Rdubya18- Nice work on those scales!! I'm not one who has ever paid attention to bone scales, but you have done great work there!
@ Rdubya18
Never worked bone. Does it carve with the same tooling as wood (hand knives/scrapers)? or did you use a rotary tool (as Dremel)?
If the latter, how do you keep the workspace so clean? I see you have a mini belt sander in the background.
And, did you polish the knife scales or is that lacquered?
Also, the crest inlay – nice dexterity in the cut-out!
Xandre links (at Taschenlampen Forum) require membership for viewing. That’s a disappointment.
Nothing of his control, but still sucks.
WOW!
that turned out really nicely
thanks for sharing your StaggErring photos
knife on right uses second cut stag (shows the softer marrow)

And some peanuts with first cut stag:
