Can't he use the 4xAA holder, or even a 2xAA holder and dummy cells, and get some 14500's locally? As long as the batteries are not paired up in series in the holder, it will spit out 3.7v won't it?

Oh my so many bad jokes must resist...

But yes the weathering does look fantastic for your first attempt!

parts list looks ok just looking over it. I assume you are going red/orange/amber led? you might want to go slightly higher on the ohms (like 2 to 3 ohms, 2w) since the single 18650 can actually...

Nothing fancy there, just a CREE diode. All the cool flashlights are using them these days. :)

Gawd she's purdy. That high polished grip must be a pain to keep clean! I have a brass covertec for mine as well but really didn't care for how obtrusive it felt on the grip being oversized already...

Thanks. Not sure if I should bother to update first post or not. I swapped out the d-ring insert for the recharge port insert, and installed a 2nd dummy port in it with the posts clipped off. It...

Just checking in if you ever got to the files? I never got a reply from you via PM about getting a copy, and would appreciate if you could send them my way if they are still available to share. I...

That would work just fine, it's basically the same way a recharge port and kill key work, just opens the ground between the battery and board.

It's not true "tackle box" weathering unless you have half rotted rubber twister tail grubs semi-permanently 'stuck' to the parts. ;)

Perhaps clear photos of both sides of the soundboard would help so people can look for errors in wiring, soldering, etc...

For a cheap board and cheap speaker, I like the Anakin ROTS sound. Since I assume you will be installing a slightly higher quality speaker on your custom build, you will be happy with either of the...

Yep. Forgot the non MPS pommels had numbers too. :/ Was thinking of MPS V3.

Pommel 3 does need an insert and clip.

If you don't use the aux switch and don't want foc then you also don't need the power extender. But at the same time, without those extra features being...

Depends on how you are building her setup. Will it have sound? If so, what soundboard? If no sound, what battery supply do you want to use? A buckpuck needs a minimum of 5v to operate properly. ...

Just have a good soldering pencil with a very small conical point tip, a helping hands, and tiny soldering wire. Ive been using THIS solder and it works fantastic.

You are definitely psyching...

The Petit Crouton can do everything you want and is an excellent choice. There is also an enormous selection of sound fonts available for that brand of boards.

The Nano Biscotte is a basic board,...

Nearly 5 1/2 years on a necro-post... This must be some sort of record. :)

the charger will recharge about 500mA per hour, so about 5 hours or less to recharge a depleted pack.

Are you sure the speaker is good? Do you have a spare you can use to test? It may be bad. ...

I picked up a nice Windu that was already converted, from a guy over at FX. It had been converted with a RGB, using the R&B. He had also mounted a blue filter over the LED to really make a...

I apologize if you have taken any of my comments as patronizing. Like SS said, this saber building stuff has been going on for the better part of a decade. You are not the first "noob" to the...

Think of the port like a normally closed switch. The two poles for ground are connected when nothing is plugged into the port. When something is plugged into the port, the ground is open. This is...

The tenergy won't work (and is out of stock anyways) why not just buy the Panasonic protected battery? It's a little more money, but a better option than the trustfire 2 pack.

Otherwise you...

Your battery and charger selections are a little confusing. The only "loose" 18650 batteries in the store are TrustFire 2400mAh 2-packs or the Panasonic 3400mAh single packs (protected or...

The 82ohms resistors will underdrive your accent leds by about 10%, so they should still light up, just may not be as bright as if driven by the 68 ohms resistor you need to run them at the rated...
