On the list of eventually projects is polishing a piece of wood up and drilling some flat bottomed holes to hold batteries, all out and available, upright for charged, upside down for empty.

2018-05-16 22:40:56 UTC  

do it in metal :^)

2018-05-16 22:41:53 UTC  

Eh, I have some purple heart and bubinga, but metal stock is expensive, as are 18mm+ center-cutting end mills.

2018-05-16 22:42:21 UTC  

Plus no mill, just a drill press.

2018-05-16 22:43:06 UTC  

oh

2018-05-16 22:43:09 UTC  

for the mf04

2018-05-16 22:43:11 UTC  

tha tguy

2018-05-16 22:43:13 UTC  

dunno his name

2018-05-16 22:43:36 UTC  

Actually I forgot about pre-drilling. But still. Big mills cost big bills.

2018-05-16 22:43:58 UTC  

What about the MF04?

2018-05-16 22:44:27 UTC  

```It seems like the MF02 has recently started shipping with a more powerful driver. They seem to be putting out between 2.5A and 3A. With this higher amperage, I don’t think anyone has measured the candela. The earlier lights with less power did about 400kcd. They must be doing higher numbers now.

The MF02 is your best bang for the buck. The smaller reflector gives it a bigger hotspot and less throw distance, but that might be okay for your needs.

```

2018-05-16 22:44:34 UTC  

oh

2018-05-16 22:44:38 UTC  

```If the interest is high enough I could make a NarsilM UI 2S Boost driver for the MF04

```

2018-05-16 22:44:46 UTC  

so yeah if the UI is shit you can always get another drive

2018-05-16 22:45:05 UTC  

Neat

2018-05-16 22:46:29 UTC  

I should look into it for the MF01. It's really just the 2 second hold to lock, and hold to turn off instead of press, that I hate. Holding to lock is bad for a powerful light, and you should always be able to turn it off quick.

2018-05-16 22:46:54 UTC  

hold to turn off lmao

2018-05-16 22:47:00 UTC  

Yeah.

2018-05-16 22:48:17 UTC  

It's like half a second, and let's be real here, it's always on turbo anyways, so tapping to cycle to moonlight isn't going to be visible after that blinding turbo.

2018-05-16 22:48:25 UTC  

But it's still dumb

2018-05-16 22:50:37 UTC  

oh

2018-05-16 22:50:39 UTC  

drive isp retty cheap

2018-05-16 22:50:40 UTC  

22$

2018-05-16 22:50:43 UTC  

driver

2018-05-16 22:50:52 UTC  

25 after shippin

2018-05-16 22:51:40 UTC  

dunno

2018-05-16 23:09:20 UTC  

Is there good fountain pen ink to be had on AliExpress?

2018-05-16 23:12:38 UTC  

you need that nib :^)

2018-05-16 23:12:42 UTC  

and yeah i dont think there is

2018-05-16 23:13:10 UTC  

No writing sample? What are they hiding?

2018-05-16 23:13:23 UTC  

there is one

2018-05-16 23:13:42 UTC  

couple i guess

2018-05-16 23:13:43 UTC  

kinda expensive

2018-05-16 23:14:06 UTC  

colors look nice

2018-05-16 23:15:38 UTC  

Where's that writing sample? I can't find it.

2018-05-16 23:26:14 UTC

bassically as you shift pen upwards the pen gets thinner
