Afraid titanium is on the back burner for the foreseeable future. I wouldn't be able to run it on my mill and none of the machinists I spoke with seemed interested in the volumes I would probably be looking at.
So, moving on with the aluminum build; I found a slightly smaller version of the 240mah lipo in a limited quantity. Going to use those for the gen 3 until the source runs out (might have to come up with a gen 3.5 for the longer 240mah lipos after that). Mainly, this will allow me to go with the original length specs from the gen 2 of 49.5mm. Other specs of the gen 3 are, approximately: width = 25.2mm and height= 9.3mm
Going to stick with the warm Nichia center LED. It really does warm up the beam nicely, oh and the blue beacon behind the LEDs of course.
I'm going to go with an initial run of 9 gen 3 Micro ATLs and see how it goes. I already have a couple spoken for but if anyone is interested let me know and I will put you on a list of first come first served.
If I understand correctly, so far I have definite interest from:
kiely23+
nfetterly
Str8stroke
Anyone else interested, let me know. That leaves four lights unspoken for at the moment.
Also, I have at least one used gen 2 coming back in for a trade in on a gen 3. If anyone is interested in the used gen 2 let me know, I would offer it at a good discount.
I'll get the payment arrangements and shipping charges together shortly. Also, probably going to have to move this over the the sales section of CPF. I'll put a link in this post as soon as I get that set up.
Thanks!
