    3d printing accessories

    Greetings. Having just assembled a Convoy L2... (this thing is really well made!) I would like to make a bracket for it with my 3D printer. Does anybody have a .stl file of the host? Or something similar that a CAD program can work with?

    I need a large light, to hang by the back door.

    Thanks for you all's input. I ordered a Convoy L2 host today... plus an LED and a driver board. I have a couple of 18650's recovered from a laptop battery that i can run it with initially. Once i get it working i will likely swap in a pair of 26650's. I ordered from mountain electronics, so...

    I need a large light, to hang by the back door.

    Whats the difference between the Convoy L6 and the L2? It looks like the L2 lacks only the side button, and if you DIY you can make it have the same output. I dont need a bunch of modes, so just on/off and a low battery warning would be great. That L6 or L2 chassis are a bit smaller than i...

    I need a large light, to hang by the back door.

    I used to hang a D-cell maglite by the back door, and it has now been completely outclassed by every other light i have. So I would like to update the back-door standby flashlight to something modern, and over 1000 lumens. I would like it to be roughly the same size (in the 10 inch/250mm...

    Belt carry - Rechargeable - Single Mode

    This looks good. Good pricerange. And the lumens would be fine. My previous belt carry light is a Coast Led Lenser HP7 for about the last 4 years. I wanted to get to a better battery than 4xAAA, and the bulge on the HP7 for the lanyard bugged me from day one.

    That looks like a good option. My previous light was a Coast Led Lenser HP7. Its output is fine, but I was looking for something with better batteries than 4x aaa. And that bulge on the side of it for the lanyard bugged me from day one.

    Belt carry - Rechargeable - Single Mode

    Hi all. Currently, I have a Nitecore MH10 on my belt. I like the size, and I love the brightness. However, in order to keep it from accidentally turning on i have to unscrew the tailcap about 1/8 of a turn to disengage the battery. Otherwise it will turn on in its pouch and eventually burn...
