Hopefully this will turn out good printed in stainless steel. Without the hole of course, that will have to be bored later.

Hmm yeah, I think I saw something like that at some point somewhere. I was thinking of putting a momentary switch below the clamp so that I could press it with my thumb while in the heat of the...

Work got in the way but a couple of days ago my buttons arrived. Well, some of them. Some are missing and some others I received 2 bags of. Those guys in China are making lots of mistakes like that...

Haha, I know! But I thought they look good so if nothing else perhaps they can end up being a decorative touch. Somewhere. At some point.

Am a bit surprised how strong they seem to be as well. If...

No good solution yet for the buttons. Looks like these 2 side ones will also only be dummys. Don't see any other way to attach them, will just have to be glued in place. Not a fan of that at all. But...

I'm waiting for a number of different SMD switches. I modeled one of them and hopefully the specs I took from a technical drawing are correct.
...

Nope, made a tiny mistake. CeX was turned wrong so I rotated it so that the wires don't cross unnecessarily. There will be a tiny connector for the speaker, has to be if you want to take it apart...

....21 euros. That's not that bad. If I got it right the first time. That we do not know.

This took a long time to model. And I only have 1 word for it: UGLY, UGLY, UGLY! :D

Lots of truoble I had with this. Change of...

You can have it 3d printed for something like 2 or 3 $. Tooling for injection molding this will cost them at least $1000 from what I know so not sure he'll be interested.

It's 0.7mm on the left where it's the thinnest and then just below 3mm on the right. That allows for a 2.2mm cut for 2 wires and the rest are 1.2 mm. I can add a third thicker slot and I probably...

Had to remodel my speaker holder, to get those thicker wires through I pushed the speaker to one side as far as it would go to still maintain correct wall thickness.
...

I'd like to have a lever/clamp there but of course it has no function on this particular piece because it's constructed as a 1 piece MHS part. Would be nice to hide a push button under it. I think I...

Thanks, will see what I can do then.

Yeah, I could just order a "better option" I suppose. But then again I don't fancy paying $45 shipping costs for something that costs half that much or less. That would make it $100 delivered to my...

I have a custom lens holder solution now, but still not sure wether you want your LED screwed in as far as it would go into the lens or is it better to have them further appart.
...

If I take the lens out of the holder it fits nicely over the dome. In that case I'd need to manufacture a different holder. But not sure if it's a good idea to have them so close together because of...

Hi,

perhaps somebody with some experience can comment on this. I have a LEDengin RGBW 10W and this plastic lens holder and 8.7 collimator lens. But somehow I don't think these go together very...

It depends. Do you need it for business as well or just for fun? All that you've seen so far can be made with a free one called Sketchup. But I think you have to buy the pro version to get some extra...

Oops, made a stupid mistake with the CF board, had some details on wrong locations. This is better. And prettier.

And it has holes...

So now I have to decide what to do with the insides and how to hold it all in place. Plus there is really very little room for the wires to go past the speaker and there are a number of them needed...

I believe this is actually my very first post here. But this project of mine was started years ago. This has to be some kind of a record for slow building a saber!

What I did right after...
