Ok, I've been thinking about this for some time and I decided I wanted a custom host for a 80-100mW o-like.com module, since I've never designed an aluminum barrel I'm posting my idea so anybody can share opinions. Maybe a member can do it (maybe mass produce it (just for members)) or come up with a better design.
The idea is to create a simple barrel which can be taken anywhere (pockets) without having to worry if dust is coming into the lens and at the same time providing a cool unique host.
This is the basic design, I've come up with a focusable design too but it'd take a modified endcap which would require more aluminum, and I'm thinking about a cheap but reliable and simple design here.
The parts can be labeled as (in order of appearance (left to right)) Tailcap / Barrel / Endcap / Dustcap
Hope you can participate in this project and let me know if you like the design (and if you would want one too).
Note that I'm looking for somebody to machine it for me, I don't have a lathe nor know how to use one
