4300 lumen maglite with cree xhp 70.2 led and an adventure sport driver. buy this driver in 6 volt form: https://asflashlights.com/-diy-parts/75-10-amp-capable-17mm-led-driver.html#/69-optional_parts-none/68-voltage-6_volt buy this heatsink: https://asflashlights.com/-diy-parts/32-heat-sink-for-maglite-d-cell-10mm-mcpcb.html this tail spring: https://asflashlights.com/led-upgrades-for-maglite/62-shorty-tail-spring-for-d-cell-maglite.html this lens because the plastic one will melt: https://asflashlights.com/led-upgrades-for-maglite/120-ar-coated-lens-for-mini-maglite.html Now the heatsink is actually made for a 10mm mcpcb and the xhp 70 is larger so either ground down the center ring making it flat like I did or use a 10mm xhp50 which is still pretty good. Also a stud needs to be soldered to the driver to contact the maglites positive contact and the maglites on off switch needs to be removed and the end needs to be cut down to where the retaining bolt slide ends for the positive and negative contacts for the led. Also the reflector needs to be cut flush with the smaller hole on the back of the reflector. I used a 2d maglite that was already led equipped from the factory. Also you will need to download a 26650 or 18650 adapter for a maglite which can both be found here on thingiverse. I have a 26650 I designed myself here. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3817794 The threads will be tight. There is no way on fusion 360 to adjust thread sizes other than what is already on the software so I got it as close as I possibly could, I had to print mine at 100.3% scale for a slightly better fit and you have to be careful threading this on the first time to try to not cross thread it. Remove the o -ring and you can thread this on fairly tight. Tight enough where it will never go anywhere. I have no affiliation with asflashlights.com update: I had to remove the stud and replace it with this spring trimmed to about 5/8 in. It keeps a much better connection with the battery now. https://asflashlights.com/springs/129-silver-plated-copper-core-spring-for-maglite-switch-tower.html
