needing a break from the stresses of modding things for other people, i figured i'd take a "vacation project"
here you can see it standing up on a black piece. the piece is a shroud that (obviously) allows it to stand on it's butt, and also covers the switch from accidental fireing. i had no real plans to use this piece (even with the beanstalk on), but as it turns out, i really like it!
here is how i accomplished electrical contact for the e2e head. the middle thing is a minimag tailcap spring, and the other piece is an aluminum "collar" i made.
this shot shows where you screw the head on at.
i "milled" a groove out of the delrin head with a drill and rotozip bit for the negative wire to go through without interfering with the positive contact.
here is where you screw the body in. it's a dead lamp assembly (kindly donated by a fellow cpf member) i soldered the wires onto it to connect to the e2e with.
you get funny looks when you edc it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif
the 2 pieces were made of black delrin, and connected together with locline. it can be bent to plenty of useful shapes, and should be waterproof. but that doesn't mater much, since i've never trusted sf's in the water anyway /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
i decided to use 8 loc-line segments, because it allows the head to go in viturally every direction, but not be too long when it's straight.
