ok so when can i expect this "lesson" to be learned?.....ive been diving this for 3 years soooooo.....

frankly, it looks like you tried to throw shade for no reason....and when you got called on it, you decided to get all cryptic to shirk responsibility for your made up claims.

Depends on water salinity , minerals , delay cleaning with fresh water after dive ; summa sumarum

sometames is fresh water with alkaline soils more corrosive than salt water

funny, no one seems to have issues with Aluminum/ SS dive reels....or all the other goodman handles that use aluminum/ SS.....or any of the other dive/ boating equipment that does the same...

dont be lazy and rinse your equipment and you wont have issues.

neglect will ruin ANY equipment that you have.

I'd like to be able to adjust underwater, although it's not really needed, it would be nice. I have a small right angle screwdriver / allen key that I keep in my kit.



I have yet to find a reason to switch hands. I'm sure there are some, but tbh it's so comfortable on the back there's nothing I can't do with it on. If I absolutely had to I could slip it off and just let go, the bungee would (should I hope, lol) catch it and it would just dangle until I got situated. Maybe there are some reasons to switch?



This is the model I used. I believe it says in the description the settings I used, I would go a little more as mine has some small hairline fractures near the screws, but I've beat the hell out of it to an extent, and I probably didn't need to screw it down as tight as I did. My next print will be a little beefier.

(this was not my design and I take zero credit for it, I'm just grateful someone did)



I guess it's for a more even distribution on the back of the hand? Mine puts my flashlight directly over the top of the middle of the back of my hand. It's pretty comfortable, and was super cheap to make. As you can see in the pic, it does not protrude but a little bit past my knuckles this way.

Looks great. What do use for screws and where do you get them?

I took it into my local hardware store and played around until I found what worked.

So which of the two do most people recommend? And best method to attach to a DGX600? (bungee?)

I took inspiration from both designs when making a 3d printed handle to fit my Watershot Stryker. Sadly Watershot decided to stop making lights and when this one dies I won't find replacement parts :/

Designed my handle with Solidworks, Prusa Slicer, and printed in PETG on Prusa Mini+.
