Best is very subjective, but if I had to pick one then I'd say get the Emisar D4V2 with a boost driver

This is both wonderful and absolutely silly. Good job dude

Probably not very original but I'd love USB-C or Bluetooth programming paired with an app. These click sequences are getting out of hand.

Thanks! I'm using a T3A station with the t245 handle and a 2.2mm bevel tip.

I replaced the solder on the mcpcb with 60/40 leaded solder and my temp is set to 355°C

And I always use flux ;)

It could be a bad reflow, but it's common for one to be brighter at moonlight because of forward voltage tolerances

I'll second this. The Pinecil is probably the best bang for your buck that you're gonna get. Just be sure to grab some of the larger tips, especially the conical tips like the bc2 and c4

Excellent save bro!

Woah, that is not cool. How much in sales does that come out to?

That's the Citadel by Reaver Arms

Great work man! I knew you had a 5050 flex aux PCB, but didn't realize you also had a 3535. Is that on oshpark?

Holy moly this post is gold! I've been wanting to check out the new firmware and this helps to answer so many questions. Thank you!

To add to this, if you are going to store your Li-ion batteries for any period of time then you should charge them to 3.7v instead of a full charge. This will extend the life of the battery

There's a copper spacer under the mcpcb, a 3d printed spacer to keep the optic from resting on the aux LEDs, and the one out front is a 3d printed ring to keep the optic centered

Bro, this has to be the ultimate D4S!!

Holy shit dude, this build is amazing! Great work!

Thank you for continuing to support this new community. And the new format looks great!
