Hi,

i have now finished my custom mini chimera. here is the old thread where i start my tests with the sst-90inside the body: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/253896

i get a raw body from brian so i done my own work on it:

Some technical Details:

Carbon cover
powder coated body
selfgrindet ucl lens

D2Flex PWM Driver from George
1000mA/h Lipoly Battery (need some work on the body to fit)
SST-90 with highest available bin (i am waiting for some neutral whites)
Blu Ray Laser ?mW (i ordered a green one from DX but they delivered me a Blue Ray laser so i put this in)
Micro-SD Card reader (also from dx) with a 16GByte Card as piggy-pack
2 on/off push bottons with permanent blue glowing led´s (i had them from broken fujitsu notbook docking stations)
2 red osram rebel on the side of the sst-90 also permanent glowing
2 blue trits on the right and left side

current for the permanent glowing of the push bottons and the rebells are 800µA

The light draws 3 amps at the highest mode. it will get hot after 30 seconds. in mode 5 from 8 it draw 1200mA and will be able to run continious without getting to hot - also extreme bright.

i never build such a light again. it was a hard work and very complex cause the space inside is very limited for all the electronics and the buttons.

Holy crap! :eek: That looks awesome!

I gotta tell ya, my resistance to flat lights is starting to weaken...if only there were a way to protect the buttons from accidental pressing, though...

Damn!

Very impressive, and I can definitely see why you wouldn't want to make another.

Any chance of seeing what the internals look like? Although I can fully understand if you don't even want to open it.

That is just awesome, you definitely have some skills.

So will this be your EDC?
Makes me wonder what other cool stuff you have made?

the sst-90 is locked via the d2flex superlock so you must press the button three times to start run. the laserpointer is not locked, but until now i see no problem with this.
maybe i add another led for the microsd card reader so i can see the activity, then i can take some pictures of the inside.

@THE_dAY

OK, this thing is damn cool. I love it. Great work, Markus!

I assume the Li-Po recharges through the small port next to the card reader? Looks similar to a Motorola cell phone charging plug.

Amazing! Dont need to say anything else.

I wanted a Mini Chimera with money clip when they were first coming out but have never been able to get the ready's together.

That is totally bad, in a really good way!:devil: Absolutely amazing. Of course, I'm a sucker for anything carbon fiber.
