    MBI #7 - The MBI MatchBook, Got A Light anyone?

    Dear Tribe, A quick post to let you know I'm still alive and getting better, and hoping to be back to normal-ish in the new year. Thanks so much to everyone for their kind patience on everything MBI. The very last of the Matchbooks are going out on Friday (though unfortunately there's nowhere...

    MBI #3 - Codename: HF

    Dear Tribe, Sincere apologies for the silence :mecry: Unfortunately, I'm currently not in the best of health (and doing my best to keep up with keeping up) hence I've been completely offline for the most part of the last couple of months. I do expect things to improve but until then, posting...

    MBI #4 - Get Ready to meet Zeus™

    Thank you phosphor22 :D Hi gunga, I had designed a clip for Zeus but for V1 Apollo, it will most likely be a no-clip version to avoid delaying it any further. Apollo Trit slots: yes,in the tail (3 of them). Approximate dimensions: 12.4cm x 2.4xm (diam) My original proto is 10.4cm but it grew a...

    MBI #7 - The MBI MatchBook, Got A Light anyone?

    Hi Tachead, Thanks very much for your reply and follow up. I've been working on a design that at the very least allows easy replacement of the battery and easier activation of the on/off too but it's quite a lot of miniaturisation so will need some testing to ensure it's robust. It would...

    500 Lumen - AAA Flashlight (photos) - Work In Progress - Part 2

    Hi BVH, Thanks very much for posting and it has taken forever I know. A lot can happen in 5yrs so I can't fault anyone for losing or changing their interests in that time. I have definitely not given up on it, rather just have to drip-fund the development when I'm able (before it financially...

    MBI #4 - Get Ready to meet Zeus™

    Update Some quick photo renderings of Apollo: Sorry the size is all over the place, my editor was going nuts (that's me). Thought you'd appreciate an idea sooner though.... I should mention, V1 Proto-Run will very likely be (99.99%) single tone. Enjoy :D Apollo (head, rocket engine)...

    MBI #4 - Get Ready to meet Zeus™

    Hi gunga, Thanks for the questions. Proto will run on 14500 but the drop-in is replaceable for when the time comes. V1 proto is looking like it will be SS. The plan for production versions is at a minimum Ti and hoping to offer an AlTiN coated version. Possibly dual metal versions too (eg. Ti...

    MBI #4 - Get Ready to meet Zeus™

    Hi Everyone, Thanks so much for the posts and especially for your patience on my reply. Newguy2012, spot on ;) Thank you. I've been very busily at work ensuring everything is on track for the MBI Matchbook, finalising the specification for molded sheath samples, etc. I'm also verifying the...

    MBI #4 - Get Ready to meet Zeus™

    Hi Parker, Thanks very much, I greatly appreciate your support. I'm working through the list of todo's and timeline, then I'll plan to send out a mail to those on the list. I can stretch it beyond 12 but as this is the first batch, of a new product, I do like to keep risks to a level that I...

    MBI #7 - The MBI MatchBook, Got A Light anyone?

    Hi Tachead, Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. Agree with you 100% The version 1 is very much a concept product to see if there's any demand beyond the MBI tribe. There's no need to "throw them away" as the "disposable" title mentions, they make great fridge/noticeboard magnets...

    MBI #3 - Codename: HF

    Thanks very much Thud1023 :thumbsup: Funny how timing works, out of the blue I received a mail regarding writing an article on the HF Ti. I suggested it's probably best to wait until I actually have stock of those but with so many products I'd like to make, I can't really say definitively when...

    Hi Iamnuts, My pleasure ;) Thanks so very much NowIC :bow: Hi walterr839, I just posted to the Torpedo thread a few hours ago ;) Hi gunga, Absolutely agree, I'm going to sum up the available info/spec and share it so you can have a better idea of where the design is at. :) Tgwnn

    MBI #4 - Get Ready to meet Zeus™

    Hi Iamnuts, Every time I reply to you it reminds me how nuts I am so thanks for choosing such a helpful name :) Zeus PCB is GTG (good to go). If there's anything I'd consider tweaking it might be lowering output on mode 1 just a little (though it could just be a result of my poor heatsinking...

    500 Lumen - AAA Flashlight (photos) - Work In Progress - Part 2

    Hi BVH, Thanks for the post. My engineer is waiting on a small custom pcb to enable next step of testing. There were 2 components mis-mounted but they are too tiny to re-mount onto the board so we need to create an external pcb with those and basically wire around them (one was incorrect...
