Looks really great!
Yeah I guess it must be possible, 'cause even if you put it near the blade, you'd still have to run the main LED wires past it.
I hear what you're saying on the look, I felt the same. You can...
Hey, so for my first saber I had a design kinda similar to yours with the same long choke:

Re: battery in choke, it is possible, but the fit will be tight. The resistor for the main LED...
Really like the blade holder / emitter!
That is indeed a BUNCH of sabers! My envy is now complete.
Nice!
You know, I just had another thought. Instead of using an inner and outer ring, I could stack some washers. I know the grooves are about 3/16" wide. Judging from the picture on the MHS builder, it...
Yes, these would be just decorative bits. I still want to be able to duel with this saber, so I want whatever I put together to be sturdy enough for that.
If it's a lathe I need, my dad has one,...
Hi guys, I'm trying to add some extra little bits to my MHS saber to make it my own. What I want to do is add a couple sliding selector switches to the style 24 blade holder I have, one for saber...
As for the click sound, according to the manual (found here: http://www.plecterlabs.com/Media/Doc/PetitCroutonV3.5-revA-GB.pdf), you can use either a latching or momentary switch for blade...
That looks right to me! Make sure to get the right buckpuck for your LED; red & amber ones run at 700mA, others at 1000mA. Depending on the length & configuration of your hilt, you might also want...
I think you can! Check out the Modular Wiring System parts in the store. They use JST connectors which you can put together without a soldering iron. You'd probably want to get an MWS buckpuck to...
Very cool!
Wait, were those just LED-lit blades, not after-effects?
Hi guys, thought I would share my experience making a blade plug. I liked the look of the shaver-based plugs I have seen online, so I thought I would try my hand at making one for my new MHS saber...
Thanks for the info! I'll take my time, wanna do it right!
So I'm planning to drill some speaker holes in the #8 pommel I just got, and I'm wondering if you veteran sabersmiths can offer me any advice on how to make the speaker holes line up with the grooves...
Yep, works great now, thanks!
Hey, I'm not sure when exactly this happened, but over the last day or two when I use the MHS builder, the blade holders only go up to Style 12. When I click the button to scroll to the right to...
Argh, just realized this post should have gone in the Parts List subforum. Doh! If a mod wants to move it, that would be cool.
OK, I think I am going ahead with my design, and if it doesn't work, FJK can say I told you so! :P I put all the stuff I'm going to order on my wishlist, which is here: ...
You know, something else occurred to me. In order to get the pommel onto the 5" fluted section, I'd have to screw it on while the switch wires were going through those grooves in the speaker mount. ...
Oh, ok, the wires will muffle it, gotcha! Hmm. So either I move the switch to a more conventional location, or deal with muffled sound. Argh! I shall meditate upon this wisdom.
Hmm, ok. I would much rather have the switch in the pommel if I can manage it. Would it be possible to just file some grooves in the speaker mount so the switch wires can fit past it? I can always...
Will the problem be getting the switch wires past the speaker mount? With the momentary switch it looks like there should be enough room for the resistor to fit in the pommel if I move the recharge...
