New RYOBI USB Flip USB Light and 3D Printed Mod (FVL52)
Ғылым және технология
RYOBI has been adding new tools to their USB Lithium line-up. Last year I created a Lantern and USB Charger/LED light that used the USB batteries. RYOBI has added two new USB LED lights. A flip light (FVL52) and a small flashlight (FVL51). I find the Flip light to be very convenient. It has a magnetic base, 2x4" gripper, and screw mounting slots. The thing I found lacking was a light hook. So I designed and 3D printed one. I also did some battery duration and temperature tests.
3D Model:
Prusa Printables ( www.printables.com/model/3945... )

I was pretty impressed by the bent up hanger. Then I was really impressed by the 3d printed solution lol. Nice video bro
I haven't seen these in Australia yet, interesting way to safely use a single 18650 in a consumer product, the torch is not all that interesting, but the battery implementation is the cool thing here to me, will be interesting see if this catches on, and will be interesting to see what products Ryobi come out with as well, nice job on the 3D models, I'll be sure to check them out on Printables.
Love all your projects! Looks great!
Love seeing Ryobi related 3d prints. I also have a couple Revopoint scanners, so it was cool to see one being used here. Creative idea and nice implementation.
The whole reason I bought this light was because of the 3D hanger, I actually thought it was an accessory in the kit but then I finally was able to find this video, I just cannot seem to find nobody to make one, that’s such a great feature you can patent that design, without that feature I have a hard time using it so I go through so many coat hangers!
Very cool stuff! I'm not sure if I'm sold on this line of tools and toys from Ryobi. There are rechargeable lithium batteries available in the AA form factor which are quite affordable and work with just about any common light designed for alkaline batteries. The highly rated Pale Blue rechargeable lithium batteries are available for about $7.50/ea. Two of them would deliver around 5500mah, compared to the 7300mah of the Ryobi cell. The Pale Blue batteries can't charge as fast because they don't use a USB-C port, but this "should" result in them having more useful charge cycles. All of this is very compelling, when you consider the disposable alternative.
Very cool. 😎
Great video. 1:40 - how long did it last on the lowest setting? did it achieve the 24 hour spec?

I still need to check the 24Hr run time... The run-time results seem to correlate pretty well with the lumen output. 40 lumens is quoted as running 24 hours. 500 lumens is 12.5 brighter and therefore should run around 24/12.5=1.92hrs. In my test it ran 2Hrs and 9 minutes.
You should start an ETSY store!

I just put the model for free on Printable or Thingiverse. Much less work 😁

@SerendipitySue we would love to buy it from you because we don't have access to 3d printers.
Does this unit have a tripod socket like its big brother the 18v lamp?

@@SerendipitySue Thank you for following up my question
5:54 what's that little screw hole on the back of the light? is it for a 1/4" tripod mount?

There is definitely a treaded hole on the back. I could not get my 1/4 tripod bolts to thread. I need to get my metric set out to see what it is. Interesting it is not mentioned in the Ryobi literature
Can you just sell me a couple of those hangers ? Im not smart enough to even attempt to try making something that nice. Thanks
I would pay you dollars for one of those hooks

I'm not in a position to make and sell them. I put the free 3D model on the thingiverse and prusa printables web sites
Were can you buy Ryobi products, please don't say Home Depot. The Home Depot near me don't carry Ryobi any more.
