I know I am missing something but I can't see how this works. I have a copper nova heat sink that screws into an aluminum 'shroud' that holds the lenses for the LED's. What I can't figure out is how this mounts inside the tube and what holds it.
I'm making a custom hilt on my lathe. I will also make a custom blade holder/emitter. I know the heat sink/LED's go between them but how? What am I missing?
They’re designed to work with MHS parts. You would need to turn the lip off of the heat sink (assuming it’s there), and then it will need to be secured with set screws (or some other option YOU decide upon) somehow.
How do the MHS parts work together? That is what I'm trying to visualize, so I can make something to work the same way.Quote:

Then when you screw the blade holder male threads into the female threads, it sandwiches the lip between them and "locks" it in place. See the pic below for an example. Hopefully that makes sense.Quote:

This is also the foundation for how multiple other MHS-compatible internals work including things like Chassis Disk style 5 and MHSv1 speaker mount Style 5
perfect! thank you.
