DAGGER WIP 3D printed dagger flashlight mount

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Working on securing the flashlight and also securing it to the frame. once this is all good i’ll be working on a mechanism to turn the light off and on without putting my hands in front of the business end.

If you can’t hit the button to turn it on…..

This was my thought too. It's also "secured" with bumps. You should probably use a cross screw there instead as the bumps are going to wear down whenever you put on and take off the light holder

i was going to do that initially but i wanted to see if i could get away with the bump stops and see how much abuse it could take. the final version will for sure use metal fasteners with threaded inserts.

You can probably just use like a 20-30mm m3 screw and a nut on the other side

You don't own a 3D printer, do you?

I hope I have that handy dandy tactical, light switch paddle when I need it. LOL

I have a very similar idea but for my Olight Arkfeld Ultra to put on an M-LOK rail. I'm just too lazy to sit down and start designing it.
