Jeff, are the aluminum in its raw state or black?

So far, they've all been raw. However, I do plan on cerakoting some in black for sure, but probably some other colors as well.

Ahh, great.. Keep us updated on the color. Hope to snag 1 in this round.

Nice work Jeff! I might be up for an Aluminum one if they last long enough.

Do you have any plans to do an 18650 body in the same style at some point?

Yes, I do have plans for a similar style 18650. I've got plenty of sketches, but so far not enough time. It'll happen soon. [emoji6]

 

[Thetasigma]

Sweet, I look forward to seeing how you tackle the proportions with the extra length.

I saw a 18650 prototype that Mac did but it was a straight extension as far as I could tell and the proportions seemed awkward. Perhaps adjusting the length of the tail and a slight swell of the body might have helped.
Good luck!

Simply beautiful... being enjoyed everyday (and just came out of the beauty salon)

The last couple weeks have been crazy, but this arrived on Thursday. I couldn't be more excited. [emoji2]

Sweet!

Awesome! Wait, what does it do? Lol

Awesome! Wait, what does it do? Lol

Press that big red button ... and flashlights pop out ?

The big red button is the emergency stop. [emoji6]

At the moment, nothing. Eventually it's going help me meet the demand, and get some different lights made. But not without quite a bit of work.

 

[okluma]

Sweet, I look forward to seeing how you tackle the proportions with the extra length.

It's a tricky one for sure. I've tried just stretching various parts of the design in AutoCAD, and I've even made a few prototypes, but none of them feel right.

So flashlights come out until the big red button is pressed ?

Even better !

:grin2:

Just like that. [emoji6]

HA! I need one then!

That looks like a great unit. You had to run a whole new electrical service to it, or just 120v?

I've got a phase convertor for my other machines, I just need to run a line from it to the back of the machine. It's not a big deal, but I'm being overly picky about making it all look clean.

man, your progressing at a rapid pace. good to see your planning on branching out.

I'm very impressed. I was lmpressed when I first saw these lights. Your evolution is remarkable. Very happy to see!
