I wanted to use the new 1.25" sinktube to MHS adapters. It turned out to be a really cool little saber. It has a RGB flashing LED Crystal Pommel (which absolutely makes the saber IMO). I also mounted the speaker in the ribbed section pointing rearward to give it a more guttural resonance...IT IS LOUD!

The Details:

MHS Parts
1.25" Brass Sinktube from TCSS
Aluminum SPST switch
MR Anakin Sound from TCSS
Luxeon K2 LED from TCSS
RGB flashing 5mm LED/Acrylic (clear) Crystal Pommel
MR Maul Speaker
Aluminum CT Wheel
3.7V Li-ion battery pack
Kill/recharge (pommel mounted)
plastic "chassis"
Gold Powder Coating
Finally, about 2' of heatshrink!

The Glams (some of the pommel pix are blurry, but are included to show the color variety):

pretty slick there LDM..

I like how you used the 1.25 adapters no doubt.

is the RGB led you used one that can be set to a color of flash (beacon mode) by grounding the MODE pin?

also is that the trans gold PC?

Nope on the RGB it has only 2 pins. The PC is trans gold. Thanks Bro!;)

I love the gold powder coating. It doesn't look like it's powdercoated at all--just like the parts are brass to begin with.

It looks like it was milled directly out of brass!
I like the contrast the 1.25" section makes, really helps to make it look elegant, without using a choke point.
