Side by side comparison of the modified PT EOS taillight and a Planet Bike Superflash.
The new LED is a Luxeon III red-orange, rated for 190 lumens at 1.4A - should be good for about 40 lumens at the normal EOS max power (300mA).
The superflash has a tighter beam, but the EOS seems to be putting out a lot more light (1w on the EOS vs .5w on the superflash). The PT EOS also has better water seals, and you can set it for low and medium brightness, as well as flashing), making it a lot more durable/versatile as a bike light.
The foot design in the Exosuit was ok, but I found that it was not nearly as stable as I would have cared for. With the addition of the big fuel tank/Jetpack, the extra weight caused it to be even more unstable. I extended the feet back by 2 studs. I also widened the feet with a small bracket and tile underneath. After taking this picture I replaced the 1x1 tiles with a cheese slope.
Head Modification Contest
Contestants were required to do a faceup based on the theme of PNW BJD Expo 2016: BJD Comic-Con
The wires for the auto mode sensor were removed and replaced with a 47k ohm resistor. This converted all the auto (color) settings to a 1/8th manual power setting.
Contour HD battery movement modification, using piece of nylon banding / woven plastic package strapping.
The texture and rigidity yet flexibility seems to be perfect to jam the battery and stop it moving.
Modification of the Binary scarf from Knitty, for Willow. Done in double knitting instead of circular; it's going to have one sentence in binary code at each end and be blank in the middle. (Willow chose the code-- the section shown here says "we are the machine" and the other end will say "the machine is us.") The blue yarn is Plymouth Dream Baby DK colorway 109 (50% acrylic microfiber, 50% nylon) and the grey is Dale of Norway Baby Ull colorway 0007 (100% superwash wool).
Modification of the poster that Nikita did for the shindig on Saturday.
Amazing what printing something out and sticking in in your back pocket will do to something like this :P
I had to stuff a quarter piece down the center of the formation (Gluing the barrels together in a diamond pattern would have prevented this problem, ah hindsight) to seal off the airflow there, and then stuffed half-pipe pieces of FBR down the edges to help hold the barrels in place.
To make sure the barrels are far enough out to get the seal correct, slide the shell casing onto the adapter that will eventually be used to attach to the titan and slide the barrels down until they connect with the adapter.
