Re: *NEW PICS* The "Chimera Mini" A "Flat" Edc with Built-in Usb Charging
Sabrewolf --
That is REALLY cool looking !
Kinda' reminds me of the old "Vest Pocket Flashlights"
from circa 100 years ago.
A somewhat "retro - looking" device,
with totally modern, up-to-date innards.
I love it ! :kiss:
Plus, it's even waterproof, and strong enough to Sit on !
:twothumbs
Good Luck in your future flashlight-related ventures.
:goodjob:

Looks very impressive Robert!
Thanks !
I kinda liked the Retro Look too! I was going to put some art on the
front and back to really set this light out from the crowd.
As you may know, the Chimera is a Multi-Headed Beast. And it
usually has between 2 and 3 heads according to what tale you read :duh2:
The Bigger Chimera has 2 heads, and the Mini has a Multi-Die MC-E
going in it. Therefore, it is Classified as having multiple heads, And
Prob of the Warmwhite version. But that can be settled later.
Here is a Quickie Pic to show you what might be possible:
Or This:
These pics are just a representation to the "Chimera" Beast of Folklore.
They will be Ray-Traced on a stencil sheet, and media blasted on
top of the Polished Titanium for a 3D Effect. Let me know what you think.
I am going to try and finish this up soon. But as i said before, the
Glow Buttons and Mini P7 Edc are a top priority at the moment.
As it stands, the Chimera Mini may make it to production Before the its
bigger brother. I would like to know what all of you think of that idea?
Or should i focus on the "Chimera" instead? Its just that this light is
a bit easier for me to dow because its mainly a 2D part, whereas the
CHimera is fully 3D with Threads and such. Keep in mind that the
Mini will be full titanium. On the other hand, The Chimera will be an
aluminum body with a titanium top cover.....For Now....
Both lights will be waterproof and totally submersable to about
~100ft/30m. The elcectronics in the Mini will be totally potted
in silicone. As for the Chimera, it will have a screwed down top
cover as to make it more easily servicable in the field. The Mini
is a bit too small to make it feild servicable, but the silicone
"Can" be removed to replace parts. But it takes some work.
As for the battery, That will be something you all would have
to send back to me for replacement. I will offer a warranty on
both lights for a period of time, and will be extendable for a
nominal fee. Say 1yr basic, and an extra 50$-75$ more for
and extra 2 years? This will be factored later, So don't hold me
to it.
Again, Please let me know what you all think about producing
the Mini before its big brother
:thinking:
mini first please
