So I've worked on my electronics a bit to the point where I'm about ready to get some saber parts.
I'm wanting to build it ground up, so I'm going to go the route of getting a couple tubes and dremel them myself. See what I come up with.
Most likely going the galen marek starkiller style.
hypothetically, if i will do that style, i'll have 3 main sections.
lower hilt part would simply be a 1.5" tube section.
this would house the electronics mostly.
then the middle section would be a 1.25" section that would bridge the lower hilt to the upper hilt/emitter.
the upper hilt/emitter section would be 1.5" tube.
as in the galen marek style hilt, the upper section is mounted to the middle section by the 6 or so small screws on either side of the activation box. plus the button/knob on the front.
*click thumbnail to see what i mean*
4786
how would you go about mounting the middle section securely into the lower section?
i was thinking getting screws long enough to go through the grips, into the middle tube?
but that's a lot of tapping and if i wanted to take it apart, it's a lot of screws to undo.
thoughts? suggestions?
