Wow the craftsmanship on that things is AMAZING. Makes me wish I had a metal shop!

Other option I see what how you drew, some type of a sliding door would look cool too, think like a battery door on a remote. Either that or a couple posts that latch when you press on them, like a...

So I realized I had a few issues with the previous chassis design and wanted to fix it before I sent it out to be printed. First issue was I didn't leave enough of an opening to get the SD card out...

I generally like to do board soldering in the 600-700f range with my iron (Hakko FX-888D love it). It's hot enough to melt instantly. Cooler then that and you have to hold the iron in place longer...

Those are indeed great looking, and yeah if you can get the name that'd be awesome.

Make sure you get 2 new cells from the same batch/box if possible. You want these cells to stay matched as it will make charging and discharging much more predictable and safe.

Thanks! Do share your ideas!

I have a couple routes I'm thinking of, I have some nylon webbing about half an inch wide, if I had a couple of those I could put a grommet on them and screw them to the flat part at each side of it....

First off, first round of 3D prints will be here tomorrow, so excited! Second, I spent the morning designing my chassis now that I've mocked everything up. I used the TCSS chassis pieces for some...

So while I wait for the 3D printed parts to arrive I started wiring up my components. For each of them I let plenty of extra wire so I can trim it down to size as I fit it all to the chassis and on...

First couple 3D printed parts are designed and off to be printed, trying it a few different ways and materials to see what works best.

Parts have arrived, dry fit done, tested wiring diagram and activated the board and it all worked! Will post some pictures as I start the final build.

From the dry fit I have a pretty good idea...

That exciting feeling when you know your saber parts are out for delivery, that sad feeling when you remember USPS doesn't show up for another 4 hours. GAH!

I will definitely keep that in mind as I mock it up. I have a couple extensions coming as well and will see how everything is going to fit. I'm planing on going either 18500 or 18650. I have a couple...

Thanks, and don't worry it's in there! I just didn't put it in the list hehe.

After a year or so of lurking and reading and learning I've taken the plunge and ordered what I need for my first saber! I was actually ready to do it a few weeks ago but the Crystal Focus boards...

So I know this is my first post I've been a lurker for a while and will soon be posting my build thread :D

I do a lot of lathe work using plastics (I make pens and bottlestoppers as my other...
