OK what thickness you need? I'm going to get some with the lightly textured peel-ply finish.

This looks very interesting! I might actually go for one of these, but would like to see that "Gen2" prototype first of all

I still have some more work to do :thinking: And i thought i would have 4 proto's
out by this past weekend.. But fate was not in the cards for me :mecry:
The back of the Gen2 needs some machining, And will end up a bit rounded
on the backside where the lanyard/chain hole goes through. It also has
alot of glowpowder mixed in with the epoxy too. The magnet charging
setup has been revised, But may change to something smaller in the
full production version. Also, I will have a Green G10 Proto made for all to see.
But here are the pics of the Gen2 with recessed led's sitting next to the Gen1 :twothumbs
I also have to round off the corners and make the cover match the body 100% just like the Gen1
The Pre-Pay will be starting This Week! So you can all jump in on the party
out by this past weekend.. But fate was not in the cards for me :mecry:

Looking good Sabrewolf.
You are losing a bit of illumination by the looks of it
with the recessed LEDs.
You'll sell your proto one with the LEDs sticking out to me ?
Cheers

Actually, The Gen2 Proto is only about 1/3 charged
So it would be much brighter than in that beamshot.
Ohh, And Yes, I would sell ya the Gen1

Excellent.Look forward to a side by side charged up pic.
The charging contacts on the Gen2 look great.
What do the units weigh?

The final shape won't change except the length.
It will end up being a little longer than the Gen1,
Including the Led's. So the new dimensions will be..
2.25in x 1in x 0.330in Or 32mm x 25mm x 8.5mm
Here is the lanyard hole all drilled out and " Hangin' "

I know you are offering CF or G10 cover plates but is there an option for Ti plates like on the Mini Chimera?
I see 3 magnetic contacts for charging, why 3 may I ask?

Its possible that i could do Ti. But i have no provisions in the design
for screw holes to hold the cover on. And it would certainly make the
light heavier. I would estimate it ending up at 2oz with Ti covers
.And the machining costs would be a little but higher. It can be done :thumbsup:
The 3 magnets are setup as 2x negative (outside ones) and a positive center.
It's setup to be flipped around on the charging cable without shorting
out the connections.

Is the carbon fiber thick enough to accomodate a trit?
Sabrewolf
Flashlight Enthusiast
I could do trits in the covers.. but certain locations wouldn't work.
Like on top/below the battery. Being that the battery is the
same thickness as the center section, and the covers are not thick
enough to allow installing a tritium.. I would have to install them around
the power button or on the metal casing itself.

There will be an option for that. But it would remove the lanyard post :mecry:
