Just to clear things up a bit about my "Extra" project associated
with the chimera like the ipod and such.. These are things i tinker
with while waiting for stuff to cure, or dry.. Like epoxy or norland,
or silicone seals.. i DO Not do these things instead of working on
your lights. They are side projects i take on to bring some more
interest and add options to the chimera lights. Please dont take
it as me "Goofing" around. I also have a regular job to deal with too.
So all my lights have to be done on my "Off" time :mecry:
So to everyone, Please be patient :twothumbs

Iconoclast, Nfetterly, Doc, Smack2000, And Amorphous will be FINISHED Tonight for Sure!!! Promise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will update with package pics as soon as i finish.

Robert - I know you don't sleep - so I don't want you working on my light at 0430 hrs - I'd rather have your mind off in "how do I fit one of those little LG projectors into a maybe not so mini chimera"

I appreciate all the time & effort! :party::party:

My SFIII has come & gone - but the mini chimera is so customized I don't think I will ever sell it. When the Ano starts to wear too much I might send it down to Pontiaker to carve on it....

Hahahahaha.. That reminds me... I wanted one of those projectors
to mod and attach to my Touch Pro that does video output :naughty:
I will prob replace the leds in it too :D

Dont forget that the lights are "Locked" for shipping..
Press the power button 3x fast to turn them on for the first time :)
And please let me know when you get them :poke::whistle:

The instructions are allready loaded onto the memcard builtin to the light.
Just plug it into your PC/Mac to see them. Anyone who didnt order a memcard
allready got a small one to fill the void :thumbsup: and so i dont have to print
out instructions (too lazy) lovecpf

Yes, Carbon Fiber does act like a faraday cage :mecry:
But, The workaround is in making a custom top cover
in which the bluetooth antenna is installed in the top.
A small channel is milled in the top of the cover and
then backfilled with norland or epoxy to seal it up.
Its pretty easy to doo :cool: Or, I could just cast my
own CF covers with the antenna builtin :twothumbs

clever! I knew you'd come up with something. I mean, after that ipod bit, bluetooth probably wasn't even much of a challenge. :cool:


Ohh, Iconoclast.. Did you want me to leave the Brass screws in?

OR

The reglular stainless ones

I'm actually kind of digging the hex/stainless ones. At least until I find some titanium screws that fit.
Judging from the photos above however, I think the correct answer is "whatever you packed in the box is just perfect!" :twothumbs

Well, If you can find 2-56 screws that are 0.25in long.. then you are set :)

Got mine yesterday and its been in my pocket since. Its beautiful and not like any other light out there. Nobody has a clue what it is until they either hit the button or ask me

. Of course all of my computer geek coworkers are most impressed with the USB functionality. Anyways, I just wanted to leave a quick note that I received it in perfect working order. Hopefully I can get around to taking some more pics of it and a more extensive review/impression after using it.

Looking forward to getting the clip...

Thanks again,
Scott
