Vlog #12

 This Vlog covers the installation and user-adjustable flasher supplied by Custom LED to allow up to 10 selectable flash patterns.



The bracket was printed using ABS-PET plastic, filled and then sanded with 100 then 400 grit aluminium open-cut paper to achieve a smooth finish; then, 3 coats of acrylic polar White were applied to achieve a reasonable finish.

The unit is secured using M3/M4 S/S screws fitted to brass inserts installed into the plastic mounting block. 

Comment:  All the brass inserts had to be chased out using an appropriate tap to ensure smooth assembly.

When assembled finally, star washers are installed under the needs of the screws as required to secure them in place.

A pair of relays had to be used to simulate the off-on-on operation of an AN3021-13 switch that proved impossible to source, adding to the complexity but I was willing to keep my design parameters.

All in all, works well.
