Re: Key Chain Blu-ray... With FlexDrive!
Yeah, i understand what you mean, but i still think my tailcap (it's outside part) is shorter. Most of the tailcaps length is inside the barrel.
And even if i measure from the outside from bottom to button, i only get 26mm, not 28mm. And it's impossible to drill all that out, i'm afraid, since it gets narrower and narrower....
Otherwise, my tailcap did have a spring. It was in that hole you can see in the picture, i took it out since it won't be needed.
I don't know... It's like 1-2mm missing. Maybe it's possible, not sure.. I'll ask you to drill the tailcap as far as you can, without coming through on the other side anyway.... After that, who knows....
The button is a bit too low on the barrel (too close to the tailcap). Maybe if i created some kind of a lever, that would press an inner button (mounted higher up in the barrel), when you press on the outside rubber piece.
I would have to rearrange the insides, make my own contact and button assembly, with a lever, then it might just work with an 10280. But this would be a VERY complicated modification!
A thing that i could do would be a self adhesive "foil button", glued on the outside, wired in through the button hole. It's flat cable would not obstruct the battery. Then i would have room all the way to my driver. But i don't know if they can be applied onto curved surfaces.
It is possible theoretically. It just won't be easy. But then, why did i just buy a shitload of tiny batteries? You're gonna make me regret ordering all those 10220's (i hope)... ;D
EDIT: I got it! The "lever" could engage the positive battery contact, and connect it to my driver!
But how to make this lever? Where to mount it? Maybe i should create a "pivoting solder hinge"? :

It is 4" long, for a nice grip.
