Re: Presale #2 - The Cypreus-IIb - Custom Copper Host by Sinner
Can you post some pics of the new drop-in heatsink please. Sound real interesting to say
the least. Can you readily change the drop-in with another of a different wavelength????
Or am I just dreaming.

Awesome! How long will the presale be open? I'd be interested, I just need some time to gather the necessary funds - that ms-ssw-3 drained me
^I'm also interested in seeing some more pics

Presale should run for >2weeks, They are up for machining coming week.
Sure thing, i'll definitely post the details in coming week. The drop-in type heatsink means you can remove the whole thing just by unscrewing it. It contains your diode+driver+lens already wired up inside.
The build process will be exactly the same as my last edc build here
Only difference is a bigger 22x35mm drop-in. EDC has 20x30mm.

Re: Presale #2 - The Cypreus-IIb - Custom Copper Host by Sinner
I'm considering getting a standard 1x18650, but wouldn't the copper oxidize and lose its color?
Do you coat the host with Everbrite or anything to prevent oxidation of the copper? I like my hosts nice and shiny if you can't tell

Just polish it every now and again? That's what i do with my copper stuff.. About once every 3 months.

Re: Presale #2 - The Cypreus-IIb - Custom Copper Host by Sinner
Actually no need for re-polishing if you use vinegar+lemon juice to rub off the oxidized layer with a cloth. It is simple as that.
Well in that case copper isnt your best friend, but there are a few simple things that can be done, everbrite or any clear coat for that matter can be applied but at the customers end, I will provide the host with a factory finish. NiChrome plating can be done but that just adds more cost , If you feel like spending then I can also offer Rhodium plating.I'm considering getting a standard 1x18650, but wouldn't the copper oxidize and lose its color?

Re: Presale #2 - The Cypreus-IIb - Custom Copper Host by Sinner
Okay, that's not bad. I was just checking, thanks.
How much would it be for nickel chrome plating? Again, just curious, I will probably go for the copper and just use lemon juice/vinegar.
Also, what is special about rhodium plating? I have never heard of it.

Sure no problem. Ni-Chrome should be around $20-25. Rh plating is done on jewellery as it gives extremely bright shine and it cannot oxidise , even at high temperatures so it is perfect for this application.

Drop-In heatsink design completed Check OP for images.
Order page is up now. Presale will be running for only 1 week, after that the pricing will be back to normal.
Thanks.
P.S: feedback on the new order page is appreciated.

Oh man I wish I had the funds for one of these right now. I have the perfect build idea for one of those but right now I have be a responsible adult (hush) and do some investing for the future. I hope they're going to be around for awhile so I can snag one in month or so.
