This is my first MHS saber build. It's also my first saber with electronics. I've built several static sink-tube sabers, but this was definitely a whole new experience!
I'm sorry that this isn't much of a build thread, since I didn't take photos of the painting process. But I suppose it at least proves that I built it! Haha...
Tapping the blade retention screw hole in the emitter.

Econo board wired up to switch & LED. I literally said "Holy crap! I did it!" when I powered it on! Haha....

Again, I forgot to take a picture of adding the cellophane (Dollar General gift wrap) to the inside of the blade, but it is diffused. The blade is TCSS Thick Walled 1 inch Trans White.
Final Result!

Since there aren't many photos, feel free to ask me anything about the build process that I may not have covered!
