Number 17

[Cantina Chef]

Here is number 17. Called this because it is the 17th hilt I've built completing my first year of building..oh and i'm horrible with names;)

Specs:

about 11 inches in lenght
all MHS parts
single 3.7 li-ion trustfire with recharge port in choke
green Lux 3
MR yoda sound board
activation switch in pommel
TCSS battle blade

*something kinda cool when i turned the saber on for the first time was a good amount of air pressue from the speaker comes out of the recharge port so when holding the saber it feels like there is a sort of energy emitting from the saber. kind of like vibration but not.*

That's one sweet hilt. I love the switches in the pommel, is it illuminated? A bit of a waste if it isn't.

Erm... video quality: Questionable.
But I like it. Especially the recharge port in the choke, is that a tight fit?

[Jin Ke]

Very cool! I really like the grip section....

[Cantina Chef]

The vidio quality does stink...cell phone...it's all i got:( and the switch isn't illuminated. I would like it to have been but I wanted to maximize the run time because i only used one 3.7 li-ion trustfire. Room was a huge obstical on this saber. and yes the recharge port in the choke was not an easy task...just fit with some clever soldering:)

What kind of run time are you getting on the single 3.7? I am assuming you are running this at 1A? This may be what i have to do in order to run my P4 and that has .7 less fv unless i miss my mark... Also how does the yoda do with only 1 cell? I am wondering since I will be using a luke ANH 2005 in my saber...

Thanks!

The board seems to run perfectly with the single cell. I have done sabers in the past with the larger 3.7 li-ion trustfires that Tim sells and they last quite a while but with this design i couldn't fit it. I will give it a full charge tonight and let it run. I will post the run time probably tomorow for you.

Really nice! I can't recall seeing black "Mara Jade" grips before, but it works well.

Very sweet saber -nice work -love the black and polished together

[Kal El Rah]

Excellent saber,, compact, brite, has sound and above all looks really reallt "EXCELLENT" :cool:

[Cantina Chef]

thanks everyone. run time is 18-20 min...and i guess the sound board will turn itself off if it is left on and un touched after four min. kinda cool i guess
