Custom Third Brake Light/Chase light

[Cblaxx19]

I received the full size print this week. Spent a couple days acetone wiping it to close the gaps between layer lines so it’s not permeable. Also sanded it a bit prior to painting and sealing. This print didn’t come in as nice as the last one I bought but it’ll do the trick for testing purposes.

I stalling it with my bracket results in great compression of the gasket and initial hose testing doesn’t show signs of any leaking as I had previously seen. So far so good! I’ll keep an eye on it for a little while during our heavy afternoon thunderstorms here in FL but I think it’s a pretty solid design at this point.

Next step is to have a few made out of aluminum and get some beta testers.

The more I research options for enhanced Marker, Chase, etc. lights, the more excited I get about this design! the Diode Dynamics SSC1 pod is the perfect choice for this type of functionality. DD is king in the light game.

Have you had a chance to play around more with this design?

I’m at the point where my design seems to be final.

I actually just signed an NDA with a possible manufacturer to help me produce them! Hoping to have some positive news in the near future!

If i get one i'm gonna need more switches! I'm tapped out on the upfitters

Sounds like a diode dynamics D-switch may be in your future

@Cblaxx19 Did this ever come to fruition? I'd totally buy this. Even the plastic version looks nice.

So I had a heck of a time getting a metal
Product quoted at a reasonable price.

DD also released their C2 2.0 pods that actually make sealing nicer and they offer a c2r pod. So I redesigned the housing around the C2 and C2R. It’s actually a little cheaper with 3 c2’s rather than 4 c1’s.

I’m still working on some refinement and finding a fabricator.

Patiently waiting!

Not so patiently waiting!

I'll be checking this thread 3x a day just to see of there's an update.

Would love a version of this that fits on a bed rack rail. My third brake lot is blocked by my tent and rack.
