Mag SST-50 & SST-90 heatsinks

[cmacclel]

I do not have an SST-90 heatsink in the works now but should soon. Currently these will be bare unless there in enough interest to make anodizing worth it. It cost me around $100 per lot so unless I have a demand for 50 heatsinks anodizing would significantly raise the price.

I soldered the wires to the middle of the led pads then bent them at a 90 degree angle then thermally epoxied the led to the heatsink. You just need to make sure the (+) lead is not grounded to the heatsink.

Sorry I didn't specify, I'm interested in one for the SST-90 emitter, D-size mag.

No hurry...

 

[overdog]

...will wait for SST-90 D-size...

Very nice Mac

How did you mill the "pocket" for the LED?

Will

I made the pocket with my CNC Mill. I drew up the design in EmachineShop then saved it as a DXF. I then opened up the DXF in Mastercam to program the tool paths.

Is the foot print the same for the 50 and the 90 ?

No there completely different in size.

Dude, this cnc stuff sure is cool!

I'm in for one C sink SST-90

I'll take the glowy prototype! I have no LED's or drivers right now........ only some stock D mags.

Me too.

I'm interested in one for the SST-90 emitter, D-size mag, with glow! lol

Any idea on when the 90's would be ready to ship?

I would be interested in one or two heatsinks for a SST-50 emitter in a D size Mag. On my wish list would be a heatsink that could be adjusted in the tube of the flashlight so one could change the height to match it to available aspherical lenses. I used another crafter's P7 heatsink for my over driven Cree R2 to good effect. I filed down the lip of the heatsink so I could adjust the height. I used non-conductive thermal epoxy to glue it into the desired position once I figured out the optimum placement for the specific lens I was matching it up with. The extra aluminum in the P7 heatsink really helped with the cooling as a side benefit. You prototype looks very beefy so I am sure it will do the trick, just pining away for adjustability. Nice work!

If you want a few without a lip that's not a problem I can turn the lip off before shipping.

Thanks Mac

That would work. I could thread a screw or two into the tube of the Mag body to hold her in place. Put me down for two! Thanks in advance!

 

[lupuz]

i am in for d size heatsink forthe sst-90!!

 

[javiole]

interesting stuff!!
I'm doing a different mod but your heatsink would suit very well what i need with just a little modification. If it is easy for you, would you make one which would have the top flat, i.e. without pedestal or holes? very simple, just like a round bar that fit into the magbody with the lips at the top?

Please, let me know if that is possible.

cheers

Any chance of supplying sst-50 mounted as shown in your prototype, it looks so professional?

Hey Mac,

This project still coming along? Have a guestimate of when your SST-50 heatsink will be available?

 

[rizky_p]

i think he is busy with his SST-50 EDC project

I'm interested in having one done the very same way. What are the dimensions of these heatsinks? I'm planing on using a hipCC with a homemade copper heatsink made from a piece of copper pipe.

 

[Techjunkie]

I'd be in for one for the SST-90 emitter for a D Mag. No rush - I'm waiting for the 4500K version to become available.

Also, any idea if the post would be tall enough to put the emitter in the right focus spot for a 2.5" Throwmaster?
