I think you might have to get more engagement before a BST thread really takes off. Kind of a chicken or the egg thing.

I'd love to see build/mod threads though.

Another thing about automotive (and probably most industries) is that large portions of the labor are contracted through agencies. Even most entry level engineers are contract now. So that figure doesn't include many of the lower paid positions in these facilities.

Thanks! I printed it at home. I haven't made the model public because I don't think guy I took the crab model from wanted it used like this.

I just mashed up other people's models in blender, so I don't want to take credit for that sweet crab. But yeah it is my model.

So cool

I'm still figuring out Lemmy image posting. This is my SP36 diffuser (and my s2+ diffuser). I'm sure yours will be much more practical.

Thanks Zak! Long live Lemmy

I haven't on this light. It's kind of a parts bin light, with a spacer made out of a thin walled copper pex line plug, so I didn't want to throw too much current at it.

I did use your guide to attempt a sense resistor swap on another 5A driver when I was trying to use an SFS75 in the S8. But I only have a soldering iron and wasn't entirely successful. I ended up deciding I didn't like the SFS75 anyway and abandoned the idea.

Yeah I'm also more interested in the heat management. We'll see if 8 amps is too much even with the buck driver. I was originally planning on the 5A with this emitter but, as much as I like it, I don't find myself using it very often.

It does tail stand, but the button sticks out just enough to make it wobbly.

Probably a half hour for the actual swap? I think the most I've done in a night is 3. I'm no professional but I'm getting faster.

Cool build! The TI tube is a nice touch.

I have the same setup in an S2 and like it a lot.
