Making the E20 Tailstand

[sol-leks]

Hi, I'm trying to figure out the best way to make my new E20 tailstand. I was able to disassemble the tailcap no problem and I tried sticking a o-ring in their but it didnt help. I was thinking maybe I could try find a washer that is the right size and sticking it in there so the button wouldnt stick out so much do u think this will work without compromising the lights integrity? Or any other ideas? Thanks

LOL, your still fighting with that tail cap :laughing: I have to admire your determination :wave:

Edit: Yes If you can find thin washers of the right size...I think you idea would be the answer...might have to use several.

What brand light is it a SF?

Sorry Fenix E20.
Heh, I'm not really fighting with it,and it was easy to get apart, it's just that it seems kinda crazy that fenix made a light with a candle mode that cant tail stand, as much as I love the light so far, it was a really dumb design decision on their part

Not sure then. Good luck.

When I first saw your post a washer was exactly what I was thinking as well. I would just go to multi drawer bin at lowes, you should be able to get and exact (or nearly) outside diamiter, however to get a good inside diamiter you may need to do some drilling. I think if you take your time and do it right ie sand, primer, and paint the washer then maybe use some good 2 part epoxy or what ever it will turn out quite well. Good luck.
