Equivalent Functionality - Different Style !

AWR - AndrewWynn is currently offering an HD-M6 mod. here with a Hotdriver and a 3300mAh rechargeable pack.

I have been exploring with him, my local machineshop, and an anodising company the idea of offering a super-power version using a 40mm extension tube and a 4800mAh battery pack. This extension will allow either an AWR-HD or a PIR1 regulator to be fitted.

This is how the conversation started . . . here from #115 (my PIR-M6 Tester and MN21-Osram35AX mod are slightly earlier in the thread + all the background to the HD-M6/PIR)

How about a 4800mAh super-pack option ?
I've been looking into getting 40mm extension tubes made for the M6 - Aircraft alloy, sympathetic design and HAIII hard anodised.

With these extension tubes you could just lengthen your pack to 3p2s-17670 protected AW-1600mAh and have room for an HD or a PIR1 utilising your New-TailCup. AWs 17670s are listed at the same price so for a little more we get a bump-up from 3300 to 4800mAh !

I can get them made and send them to you for inclusion with a super-pack upgrade if you wanted to do this depending on response. I would need 10 units to start this off as the CNC machine setup cost is the biggest factor.

10 gives a starter figure of £35( ~$62) per (including anodising +postage) - This is based on their guess of how long it will take to setup the CNC-Machine from my M6 and could be slightly more or less but seems reasonable.

Click to expand...

So - to sum up - for about $62 (EDIT:Now inc. post) we can add another 20minutes runtime to the HOLA-HDM6 / PIR1

~$12 per 20minutes-HOLA Std. dimming Primaries (SF batteries)
~$120 ~ 40minutes-HOLA Regulated(+100%) 3300mAh Li-Ion
~$180 ~ 60minutes-HOLA Regulated(+200%) 4800mAh Li-Ion


So - Who wants one(or two?) - the estimated cost starts with the batch set at 10. Cheaper for more ? EDITostage now included:

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Packs

Yes I do want one 20min for $60. Pleaseadd me to the list

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Packs

Hi dbedit

Added to list.

Can't see you on the AWR HD-M6 list ? Do you have other intended method of use eg. PIR1-Self made pack or . . . ?

Cheers Pete

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Packs

By the way . . .

This is an at-cost adjunct to AWR's HD-M6 offering than can be used for any M6 owners own purposes as well.

If anyone knows a way to make these tubes more cheaply ( eg. friend owns a CNC-Machine and a plating company ) and wants to do this, that would of course be great.

Pete

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Packs

If the extension tube means I get to use the original, unmodified M6 tailcap with Andrew's HD-M6, then I'd like to be added to the extension tube list please.

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Packs

Hi Flea Bag

You could use the std. tail-cup ( it's just the insert that changes - not the whole tail-assembly) and the 3300mAh pack but there would be ~30mm of air to fill ! You could fill it somehow (spring?) but it is very simple to swap between the mod-tailcup and the standard if you need to - just give it a pull.

A big spring+std tail-cup (you'd probably be changing the std. spring !) and 30mm of air or an extra 20min. runtime !

Let me know what you are thinking as the Std. HD-M6 +tail-cup-mod is a great solution if you just want 3300mAh. Love to have you on the list but it's got to be right for you.

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Packs

I am considering the whole setup.... I don't have an M6 (yet), not on the list for the AWR HD setup (yet) but feel I should at least get on here for the extension. Is AWR going to make the bigger packs if you get 10 people on this list or is that something we will need to do ourselves?

Thanks

Curtis

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Packs

Hi Cue003

Yes - as far as I gather from AWR he will make pack options available from sometime in May and when he has time he will be sorting out a few variations on his theme ( protected/un-protected/2400/3000/3300/4800 ) and if we have the starter for 10 a 4800mAh version will be one of them. AWR please correct me if I have anything wrong.

As for getting an M6 - www.opticshq.com do a great deal for CPFers call them and discuss it as the method to get it via the website is somewhat obscure ( there is a post somwhere on CPF but ! )

Hope this helps - let me know
Pete

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Pac

Applause, applause!!!!

Thank you for building it, I was kicking myself for letting that idea stew on the back burner for all this time. I'll take a pair of them for myself. I have been running my M6s with 4 different variations of rechargeable LiIon battery packs for the last five months, with fantastic results. My greatest hope was for the timely introduction of AW's protected C LiIons, but alas, it is not in the immediate future. My latest incarnations for extended runtime have been with the 2-in-series Emilion D-cell 5200mAh LiIon. The fabrication of the extension tube was the only ingredient missing. I had been using a section of FM 6AA big body light extension tubing and a reducer for my mock ups with the large D cells. Otherwise, the AWR "6-pack" is a phenominal setup for stock battery vompartment configs, with the machined tailcap puck affording the easy fitment of 6x 17500 cells for a 3300mAh 7.2V battery/ The PIR fits like a glove, I did most of my bench testing for the beta version of the PIR specifically to determine the overdrive tolerance threshold of the MN21 lamp assembly, at the expense of a few sacrificial units (at $30 per second of valuable data) to find limits by exceeding them. I would be interested in the tube itself and possibly one of your cell cages, I would really like to see some pics of what you are using now. Ive got the PIRs and plenty of LiIon cells, all flavors except 14650. Please email or PM me for details, lets collaborate on this!

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Pac

Hi Lunarmodule

Hope the applause is for me ! But AWR is doing all the hard work on the battery packs - I just think that while you are at it you might as well get as much as possible into the kit ( and out of it )

I'll put you in the list for 2 tubes - OK ?

Yeah - forgot about 2xD-LiIon - thats another great option - 5200mAh and room for a HD/PIR1.

I've got my PIR1 running in a ModaMag 6xAA adaptor mod to 3p2sLIR123 - Batteries are right on the edge methinks with the Osram64275AX now fitted into the MN21 LA.

Photos here from #77 onwards (page3) but general discussion all the way through. More photos as anyone wants them

Cell Cages ? AWR Packs or ModaMag Adaptors at the moment - thinking about 2p2s18650-2400 as another option for 4800mAh?

Keep in contact - 2 on the list
Pete

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Pac

put me down for one. I appreciate the information on the M6 and will be looking to get one this week hopefully.

Thanks.

Curtis

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Pac

Petrev,
Please put me down for one 40mm extension tube. Thanks.

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Packs

I'll take one!

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Packs

put my name in the hat for one 40mm extension tubes

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Packs

my battery pack is easily be extended for this solution as petrev has mentioned.. if you buy the HDM6.. the driver will be swappable from one pack to the other.

-awr

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Pac

I'm in.

Now -- do the different run times require different tubes? If so, the 40 min. for me. Maybe a 60 later. Thanx.

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Pac

Okay here's my expressed interest! :huh:

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Pac

yes.. the idea is.. the normal HDMD fits inside a normal M6 with only the inner tailcup swapped. The extended runtime model requires an extension tube that makes the light longer.. i haven't looked at the specifics regarding the size, etc.

Hi Leef

For the 40min runtime HD-M6 you just need to buy the AWR HD-M6 $120 here .If you want more (~60min ) then you also need the Extension Tube from here.

Hope that clears it up. You can of course join in here if you want the Extension after all - the more the better, as the item price will drop the more we get.

Hi AWR - I'll PM

Cheers Pete

Re: Feeler . . SF-M6 - 40mm Extension Tube for Extended Runtime with 4800mAh R-Packs

On I see... I blame it on my poor messaging skills... So I'll still need to modifiy my M6 tailcap regardless of whether I'm using the 3300 or 4800 mAh battery pack right? If that's the case then I'll need to think about this a little bit more...

I think it's better to remove me from the list in the mean time. Sorry for the hiccup. Will get back to you soon...
