The sleeve material has a coating you will need to sand off. It’s pretty tedious so if you can, make a jig and spin with a power drill while gripping it with sand paper.

As mentioned, leaded flows much better and is much easier to work with. If the fumes make you nervous you can get an extractor fan or get creative and make one from a cheap computer case fan and...

Maintenance on Through hole is a bit harder and requires a braid or pump to remove solder. Top solder is easier because you just heat it up and slide it off.

however, top solder introduces risk...

Add a 330 ohm resistor for data.

Thanks!

This is pretty common practice. Although 2-56 seems a bit insufficient to me. 6-32 will just fit but you have to be pretty precise to miss the threads. If you do hit them you can clean them up with...

Basically, for parallel wiring, yes. Page 123 of the most recent manual has details for both parallel and series wiring options.

The key word is “ask.” ;)

You don’t have to buy. You just need to know the thread size. The problem with Home Depot is the bin fasteners are in bags.

Yep. Made that back before I had my mill

Thanks guys



Yeah I kind of felt the same but its a scrap build and thats the way the parts fit. Its a stepped emitter so moving up the shroud wouldn't really work without long, partially...

CFX is a closed board. There are both desktop and mobile apps that can be used to modify settings (blade color profiles, etc) and/or control the board from a wired connection or remotely. Plecter...

Hah nice. These are circa 199-something.

It's weird but somehow they all ended up working together. Complete luck and unplanned.

Thanks guys



Patience and practice :cool: Ask JB Kuma how many times I redid many elements of this saber including the wiring lol he had to read all of my cranky texts.

You don’t connect negative and positive lines to this. You pick one and use the switch to open and close the circuit. Very basic example: battery negative > switch pin 1 : switch pin 2 > board...

Thanks dude. Sometimes slapping things together turns out ok :)

This is a hilt i pieced together from a bunch of scraps. Some MHS, some custom, some MPP. The copper piece was originally brass but I thought copper would look nice so I plated that. Then I thought...

Heres a nice weathered empty version. This was #5.

V1 and V2 are different sizes, however there are adapters available in the store that can be used to combine the two.

Those mats aren’t for fabric alone. They are “self healing” which means if you are cutting something and cut through to the mat the kerf in the May will close up. Some do better than others but if...

Looks pretty clean. Nice job!

3.7v battery I’m assuming? Given the results you posted you’re calculating your resistance at 1 amp! The crystals have 5mm leds in them. They are only supposed to be run at 20mA. You need something...

JB Kuma has charged through the blade side but I believe he used/uses aviation connectors which provide more connection points. I’ll text him to see if he can chime in.
