UPDATE June 24:
First batch of 80 pieces will start shipping next week. You can still sign up for the second run of 110 pieces. See post #6, please
Price on La Petite Killer will be $95, including shipping worldwide.
First delivery in late June. A Ti anodized version, in limited quantities, i.e, 15-20 pieces, will be $105. These will be offered to those on the sign-up list in post #6, in the order that they signed up, and until they are sold. All remaining pieces will be unanodized, raw 6AL4V Ti.
The other good news is that the first production run will now be 80 pieces, not 60, so there are additional pieces available at the moment. I will start a sales thread as soon as the machine shop ships the pieces to me.
There will also be a second run of 120 pieces, and anyone wanting a Killer for delivery in July may sign-up for those now.
Sign-up List--see post #6. No payments until the light is completed, but folks on this list will have priority when the sales thread is started.
Click to see slideshow of the build, please.
First attempt at a small light--it was challenging getting this done, especially in Ti. You will see numerous glitches, but that's what a prototype is for--to iron out the bugs.
Thanks, Griff, for starting the list.
OK, we'll make it official--this can be a sign-up thread, too.
[second edit]: Details, details -- geez you guys are unrelenting.
Battery: SR44 -- There will be Renata 190mA batteries. Runtime should be just over 15 hours.
Price: $95 for bare Ti.
Design: May change slightly -- it's the designer's prerogative. What, no dimples? LOL
One thing is for sure: the split ring bore will align with the grooves.
