I watched a video awhile back about cutlerylover's attempt to heat up a titanium Thrunite flashlight but it didn't work.

***Warning, I am a noob with anodizing***

Today I went ahead, even though I was nervous about electro-anodizing a flashlight because of the circuits in the cap
So I duct taped the tube ends shut to prevent water getting inside the tube, threads and to the circuits.

Badly anodized because the tape covered more of the cap, but it worked.

I used the aluminum wand to tap the thing being anodized. !

I used a laptop charger block with around 19.5 v on the print
