I'm on page 14, trying to catch up with everything,
Gene's shop has dedoming capabilities, I'm sure it may annoy some of the line but if he says yes to enough units they will get built!
Multiple options limits group buys and makes them MUCH harder to run, I recommend picking one option for the first run, which will generate a lot of hype, and then go in for round two.
The red was expensive for a few reasons, the emitters themselves were costlier, and then had em twice, plus I had to buy a few extra that were not claimed for a long time in order to meet the minimum order necessary. Suffice to say, all the group buys were definitely "passion projects"- I dare not try and figure out what it ended up all costing me!
Nevertheless hope to do more in the future- I'll chime in again tomorrow once I've caught up more on the thread.

thank you from London!.
I'd be willing to split the cost of several extra incase of any mishaps in the building process.

You mean make extra D'Domed in case a few get messed up in the process..
It can mean whatever it needs to mean to help get this moving..

That Ti 3P is nice as hell for $100
I've been eyeing it up a lot. I wouldn't mind getting one. How fast was shipping?

That one has a larger heat sink than the one Vinh uses and uses a more reasonable H17fx driver.

These things take 10-12 months, we are still in the BS-ing phase, which will go on another 10-12 days or so. 
Hopefully Gene isn't retired by then 🤣These things take 10-12 months, we are still in the BS-ing phase, which will go on another 10-12 days or so.

Don't worry, we're talking 10-12 Malkoff months, not HDS months.

Kernels, what canister did you use that has a larger heat sink (or built a thicker shelf?) than Vinh's P60 offering..
I like the idea of H17fx.. Got it in two lights and one module. It's a great driver!

Looks like this has stalled? No volunteers to lead the GB?
