Hey everyone,
Just like all of you I was excited to receive the host today I had a module all set and I just popped it in. This isn't a tutorial how you should build yours but just a quick look at mine tonight. this is my first pen host build bare with me
-this is diode case negative PL520 B1.
-battery 10440 efest
-sinner single battery host bare copper
sizing things up
now the issue I ran into immediately was the module presses in hard. I was gentle with it and used the vise. with rubber in the jaws.(the first time I didn't and it marred the copper oops)
also the tail cap has no spring. maybe some of you wont need a spring but my diode/driver setup required one for a good contact. I had to solder one on but BE WARNED it was tricky and the plastic got hot it took several attempts.
next I pressed the standard AixiZ focusing knob into the brass housing-that was now problem and this is where I am at!
I used a bit of brass polish to shine it up and it looks great bare copper.
Also some of us had talked about a 9mm build by squeezing a bit of wire between the module and the host. Tmack elected to get DTR to sell the 9mm with the case pin attached? this might be a better option because the module fits so tight. maybe it could be loosened up by some light modifications to the host im not sure.
it is very astatically pleasing! thank you sinner!
thanks guys,
jefferson
