How would it be frowned upon if it’s for personal use?
Wrong forum for that question.
And don’t forget forgetful Jedi’s CFX wiring tutorial...I made that mistake and made him grumpy (kidding). Robs TCSS videos are great but he hasn’t done one with CFX that I have seen.
I have torn...
Under promise and over deliver! You could easily make it a stunt with light, or even sound with some of the predicted modules!
That looks great...only question is length, looks like it could be close to 15”?
Who is the manufacturer? There is a recent k4 which is Obi ep3 sold on TCSS which I am building now. All metal with existing retention screw holes. You can always tap a new hole with the kit sold...
I used the TCSS heat sink adapter and a tri Cree and actually have a very firm fit. I wouldn’t do any serious dueling, but it holds up well. The other method that I considered and think would hold...
Not sure what leds you used back then, but I have both clear with blade film and trans white with film and vastly prefer the trans white, and they are not a whole lot less bright. Maybe give it less...
I watched and your video...was great and very helpful...Rob just kind of has that Happy Painter guy delivery...
That series helped me a ton too...I just think he went a little to heavy with the T6000...I cringed during the glue application!
I have been periodically checking his site out and it appears Rob has been busy with his Bane Legend run since last fall...hoping for some new TCSS videos on his CFX tricks as well.
Are you doing a hard wired battery? If so, you need a recharge port. Assume you got the momentary switches with the kit? Obviously need a chassis to hold everything...there are lots of options...
I also don’t think it had anything to do with the fact that it was a batch of clearance. Is your board secured to your chassis and insulated from sound vibration? One very simple explanation is that...
2 more quick tips. Grab a tap kit...I think I got my first one (for saber building) from TCSS. They can be used to clean up a poor initial tap. For this application, you really need a secure hold,...
Quick search...Rob/TCSS look to have a video for blade wiring. Tom T will probably see this as well but I know I was looking for quick answers when I was doing the first builds. He did a recent video...
Fun, but challenging first build for sure (I did the same one for my second build!)
I believe that I did use an 8/32 set screw, and I used that hole to secure the chassis to the top inner part of...
There is a voltage map picture early on in the manual, the one to replace is the one with the 14V arrow.
Agree with the others. You can do heavy dueling with a light and sound build. The biggest thing is to plan out the internals and make sure things aren’t moving around. And make sure the wires and...
Wow...glad you found a solution, and know it will work since it’s from Erv. Personally, I would still bias towards neo since the scrolling on a crossguard is a great add, and the wiring is way...
You do need the 15a high drain battery, but the 10a would light the blade, it would just be jacked up with crackle in the speaker. Is it the Sam board as you used externally, same config, and same...
Not a whole lot that can go wrong with that board...do you hear the menu beeps? Definitely off that you think you can hear some very faint sound. What speaker are you using, and might also throw a...
Didn’t connect the LED choice to the desired color...understand now. I do agree with Raven that you can probably get a decent amber with the standard neopixel strips...I get so many colors out of...
Any chance you would consider neopixel? If so, on the latest firmware of the CFX you can use the L2 data pad to do a delayed ignition of one side (I used the L2 for the quillions on a recent...
Thanks FJK...they do look better in the pics than in person. Do you just put the led against the end of the quartz and no other special mods or techniques to make it brighter? I recall a post about...
