    I paid for a supporter membership back in September (Sept 21st 2023), but I only just noticed that my account doesn't appear to have the supporter features enabled?

    Evolved Goodman handle for XTAR D26

    I'll check, but something like 35mm. If I ever get around to it, I'd like to create a parameterized version that uses a clamp rather than screw-hole to hold the flashlight in place, so that it can work for almost any light.

    Evolved Goodman handle for XTAR D26

    Thanks to a new printer and Fusion360, I’ve made an updated (hopefully final?) version of the handle. Improvements include: - Printed lower handle with bolt snap attachment - Lower handle can rotate up so the whole package fits in a pocket - slots for M5 nuts (rather than threading the plastic...

    A repository of 3D print STL sources

    Awesome, thank you! I'll print today and see what happens.

    A repository of 3D print STL sources

    Does anyone have an STL for a tool to insert inflator hose o-rings? Somthing like this. Alternatively, if anyone has measurements for a non-printed tool, I'll happily model it and share with the group.

    LW-PLA for buoyancy?

    I just stumbled across the existence of LW-PLA, a 'foaming' version of regular PLA with much less density. I'm wondering if this could be used to 3D print (with 100% infill) buoyant components, such as floats for camera arms. Obvious questions would be the compressive strength, as well as the...

    Cruise Control for Blacktip

    That’s with the stock firmware. If you flash this firmware, you can add cruise control (among other features) to any Blacktip.

    Cruise Control for Blacktip

    I’m sure you’ve seen it before, but there is an open-source version of the firmware (based off the exact same code base) that has cruise control as an option. It’s been out for several years now (I think?) and I haven’t heard of any issues. It’s trivial to switch back and forth between the...

    Evolved Goodman handle for XTAR D26

    That definitely looks like the same metal handle. I’ve been prototyping a design that would clamp the light and remove the need for a screw hole, but most of the lights I’ve been making handles for do have a mounting hole of some kind. The other option, assuming that the head is bigger than...

    That’s a very generous offer. I’m going to download it and have a play around!

    DIR views on non-canister primary lights

    If you use the medium setting (which I normally do) it's quite constant. I can probably rig up a comparison test with a GoPro timelapse, I'm curious for the exact answer as well.

    Evolved Goodman handle for XTAR D26

    V2(ish) of my Goodman handle adapter for the XTAR D26 1600S. It's designed to work with the bottom half of this Aliexpress Goodman handle. I also added a guard for the power button, since it seems very prone to being inadvertendly turned on. I have ~30 dives on my prototype model, also printed...

    DIR views on non-canister primary lights

    If you want an inexpensive light that works extremely well as a DIR-compliant cordless light, the XTAR D26 1600S has an extremely tight beam, runs off 21700 rechargeable cells, and mounts easily to a Goodman handle. The whole setup (light, handle, 2 x 21700 batteries, excellent-quality charger...

    Apeks reg service manuals

    Seconded to take @rsingler's class. He does also have quite the repository of service manuals. I'll hold off answering some of those questions, since the answer is 'it depends' and I don't think my opinion is worth much. However, one some of those: Apeks uses EPDM o-rings, and my...

    Apeks regs not serviced for 8 years

    I've bought a bunch of used Apeks regs, and serviced all of them myself after taking @rsingler 's 22-hour virtual service course. Some of the regs I bought had been sitting for 15+ years without being used, let alone serviced. A few of the second stages required replacing a couple of extra parts...
