Sold/Expired Batch #1 - Custom anodized Sunwayman V series Ti Selector rings

[mr.snakeman]

for #11 (I like to go with a more subtile style + it should go well with my trit filled cooling fins)!

#5 is available again

Thanks to all so far, the ones marked sold are now ready to ship. Sorry for the delay but I've been away for a couple of days and there is a 'right way' to install the magnets and the only way to work it out is trial and error so it can be a bit time consuming!!

+1

I mark the top of each one with a Sharpie marker & then extract them before stone wash. Found out the hard way that the magnets will not stay in their pockets for a 72 hour tumble

If they are installed wrong the control ring will give really wierd effects.

Can people who have ordered please let me know which model they will be using them on...?

(at this point I'm hoping everyone yells "Ti+" )

How's the grip on #1 & 2 vs the stock ring?

Personally I think it is improved as you can adjust just using your thumb... and certainly you can feel the selector ring more obviously when you pick the light up in the dark...

Cool. Did you do the matching on the rings?

The much improved grip is part of the reason I signed up. IMO the tactile design of the factory ring scores about 3 on a scale from 1-10. Matt's version looks like a huge improvement.

Mine will be fitted to one of my first run series as it already has one of my trit filled cooling fins mounted on it.

 

[theslippyslug]

Still some left folks!

Those that are sold will ship today - thanks for your patience guys!

Not Ti

At this point. If / when I can find a Ti in neutral flavor than I will have a Ti. At this point I have a V10A and V20A.

COOL!!....I will take #8 if it's still available, thanks!

How does the pattern flow around with #10

Could you describe the colours as you go around?

Very interested in the more clean look but with strong colours, (like #11 more, especially if in a strong colour (gold purple?)), but #10 can do if the colours flow smoothly to go along with the larger V10R Ti.

Ones I like, in order. #11 #1 #9

Im thinking - Ill take #3 and #10

But in the end I had custom ones made, so #3 and #10 are back up for grabs

 

[theslippyslug]

the sequence on #10 is bronze, purple, dark blue, light blue, silvery blue, pale yellow, deep yellow, magenta, violet

If you want I can do one with alternating yellow and green slots to go with your trits


any variations on the ones in the first post - just ask I can do one to suit your light - (although red and black are not possible)

Ukmidnite. Those work of art are really nice. Looking at them makes me want to go get a SWM so that I can buy one from you.

I will surely be looking out for more of your work.

 

[mr.snakeman]

"11 received and mounted on one of my tritted V10R Ti´s. Switching the magnets was a *****, but finally got it right in the end.

 

[theslippyslug]

Glad it got there ok!
It is a bit time consuming but you get there in the end! I don't think the magnets need to be pushed all the way into the slots and the head doesnt have to be complete to test (just don't look at the emitter when testing ! Use a ceiling bounce).

Once you've fitted it you can give it a wipe with windex to remove any grease from the coloured parts



I am doing a couple of rings for Okwchin by request so #3 and #10 are still available

Got mine today and magnets were no problem at all. A good strong pair of tweezers is a must to remove magnets. Install them with the notched part down and then test the light. If it functions erratically pull one of the magnets out and rotate it 180 degree with the notch still facing down into the slot. Place a small dot with a Sharpie or other marker on the magnet you just turned. Re test the light and if it is still erratic then simply remove and rotate the magnet opposite the dot and that should be it. This covers all possible sequences quickly. Looks great and I love this new ring. Thanks!!

 

[theslippyslug]

Thanks! Glad you like them!

Still some left!
Working on batch 2 now too

Any non=anodized ones? I'm just looking for improved grip.
