NOW this is flashlight porn at it's best !!!
Came out looking VERY nice Dave :twothumbs
Inside the head there is no extra room for wires to lay around. In fact there is no wasted space. This picture shows a cable guide, machined from acrylic, that nestles into the side of the adapter and runs power up to the MC-E. It holds the wires and connectors upright as the head is brought down over the adapter. Those tubes in the top of it are .078 in diameter with .063 holes. I had to make and try many varied designs of these before I figured out how to assemble the light.

GEEZ!.:green:..That wire guide is TINY!
It would be interesting to watch you assemble one of these.
Looking forward to seeing the other side and a front head on shot looking into the reflector, and lense.:naughty:

My workbench is messy but I know where every tool is! :thinking: They are there somewhere and it only takes a few minuets to find any one of them! :laughing:
Here are a couple more pics. I am so excited to have this thing complete I can not tell you. Thank you for you comments, you have all made my day. I do not even want to go back and figure out how long I have been trying to cypher this puzzle. But I must say, assembly is now a straight forward process. It is not quick but it is ordered and repeatable.
I have changed the MC-E cover. It looks similar but it is now removable without damaging it. I made this change so I could fully test the light in its final assembly and still take it apart if there is any problem. Once the light passes its tests, the MC-E dome is potted to this cover. After that it can still be disassembled but with possible damage to the emitter. At least there will be no damage to the titanium cover if it ever needs to be serviced.
The cover is held in place by four of these steel balls. They are .039" in diameter, the same size as is found in a normal Bic pen. One is sticking to the stack of magnets by the quarter.
If you look close you can see the bottom two steel balls in this picture.
The cover is pushed down over the MC-E and the balls are inserted in tiny machined cavities in the corners of the rectangular bore.
These past few weeks I have spent all my time on this phase of the Tri-V. I will now switch to the software and interface design. And to the final testing of the STFu MK-II. In the coming days I plan to bounce several interface ideas off you all.
Cheers
Dave

Looks fantastic. I can't wait for the sale thread. I'm locked and loaded for this one. :thumbsup:
On another note, am I the only one that thought 'beamshots!' when Dave said that the outdoor pics would be up later?
