Yes, and I’ve already worked things out with CWF and RMM. CWF even sent me a nice purple Dragon S2+ with green LEDs, just because he wanted to be nice. I’m not previously familiar with Recon1 or Deadwood Custom Works though, and the license applies to anyone who distributes the code — including when used inside a product they sell.

This sort of thing happens all the time, is easy to resolve, and typically isn’t a big deal. It’s just interesting stumbling across my code in places I didn’t know about.

While we’re guessing, I know how you feel about assumptions and all that, but putting you on the spot, if you absolutely HAD to guess, when do you think FW3A sales will begin? Do you think/hope May sounds reasonable?

Think we can engineer it to not need a battery?
Electrolyte solution cathode in the battery tube, some sort of resin coating on the inner tube for the separation layer then the tantalum body is the anode.

May I propose the FW3O – The Osmium Edition.
Osmium is the densest element, is ridiculously hard, super high melting point, very rare (though not as expensive as gold). It also has a beautiful blueish/cold silver color. Heat transfer similar to iron, so better than titanium. Basically impossible to machine… So perfectly unreasonable for a flashlight

I would say….
….. (and this is the first thing that popped in my head) between 1 April & 15 April.

Hoping for 17 March - 31 March though....

Well while we are naming exotic hard to machine metals…
FW3ST – Stellite
FW3CA – Carbide
FW3TU – Tungsten
FW3CR – Chromium
FW3CE – Ceramic
FW3CO – Cobalt
All are quite fun to machine. I do get to machine some pretty exotic materials and its always a fun learning experience.

Lurking flashaholic, Ive bought all my flashlights through lurking here, BLF A6, Sofirn C8F, Soforn Q8, Emisar D4, and a few not so budget lights but I mod them all the same! Been waiting for the FW3A to come out for years now.......

And for the more sci-fi folks we have the
FW3DM – Dark Matter
You have to keep it in a vacuum suspension chamber next to your Uranium and Plutonium models underneath your volcano evil lair.

Yeah we use it for reactor plant valve seals and some turbine parts. I got to do some work with sintered parts as well a while back and we made some stuff from sintered Tungsten and ceramic with Molybenemum. Surface finish requirements were sub 20 RA using a Mitsubishi wire EDM and a tolerance of -+ 0.0001. What a flashlight that would make huh?
