Hello, I've been looking at the site for few weeks now, and would really like to get started on my own lightsaber. Unfortunately I can't afford to make a start for a month or two (new baby on the way etc.).
I absolutely love the MHS system, and it looks like really good quality workmanship.
So I'm just planning and sketching at the moment. I have a few questions for now:
1. What are the postage rates to the UK (apologies if this is easily found elsewhere)
2. I really like the sound of the Ultrasound 2.0 board, do I need to be worried about not pre-ordering? Is the price likely to jump up a lot after? Is there very limited stock?
3. I'd like to build an RGB saber if possible. Can an Ultrasound board run an RGB LED? I was hoping to mix the colours using DIP switches, is this feasible?
4. Can the initial sounds (beep followed by some speech) on the Ultrasound be switched off? (No big deal if not, I'll install a mute switch. Which is probably wise with a baby on the way!).
5. I was wondering how the pieces of the MHS system align. Two of the parts I'm interested in make this an issue. For instance if I want blade holder 12 with a tapped hole in the side in line with the longest part of the chamfered tube, will this then line up with the switch hole in an pre-machined double threaded hilt? Or would I have to ask for them to be machined as a set to guarantee this? Apologies if this doesn't make sense.
Thanks in advance for any answers!
