MiniLantern 2.0

[swissgearlabs]

here's my improved version of the MiniLantern (did a post a few months ago). even better to use, somewhat easier to build (still not entirely happy though).

That's awesome mate, did you make all the parts for it?

I CAD'ed the whole thing at work and pay a workshop to cut most of the parts with a Laser/WaterJet into sheet metal. Some lathe-work in our workshop, the glass is from a glass blower around the corner. Assembly at home in the kitchen)

Nice work, SGL.

 

[Toddy]

Very tidy indeed and the stabiliser is good
I liked the prototype but this is impressive

You could do with a blank screw thread somewhere though to fasten the wick cover to so that it doesn't get mislaid, or am I missing something ? Youtube runs like an old cine film on this computer.

atb,
Toddy

Looks great, well done.
I remember v1.0 posts very well. We were all trying to buy one. I'd like a version 2 even more so please let us all know if you start producing!
