FJK is right...calipers as well as some basic drafting will help you conceptualize. Keep in mind...the first 2 digits of an li-ion battery is the diameter and the 3rd and 4th digits equal it's length...

This thread is great info on crystals from both sides of real crystals vs. synthetic crystals. Possible sticky for apprentices? Jedi or Sith respectively of course.

Yea I tinker around with it. I use freeCAD to convert step files to .stl and upload them in tinker.

Hat do it? Just kidding, I know ow what you meant. I bought a 3D printer as a B-day present to myself a few weeks ago, so now I have to learn some CAD stuf because printing other people's designs is...

Jbkuma is right, if secured at both end you will be fine. If it were me I would search online for a piece of 18ga tube with an OD of 1.25 and sand the outside as needed to fit in the lower section.

I wish I knew how to use illustrator...I just end up using MS Publisher to put my "tradional drafts" to computer format.
I have been wanting to learn any of the CAD systems for some time...

Duly noted, that is a great tip indeed.

Honestly if you want to test some pieces, go to your local home depot/Lowe's. Go to the hardware section and grab some 1/8" dia. aluminum rods and a piece of 1" wide 1/4" thick bar stock....it's less...

Acid? Try salt water etching. Cut out your lettering on vinyl...those cricket cutters. Once the part is prepped the etch is relatively quick.

No I totally get the unique aspect of it...the concept as a whole is awesome and I never thought I would see it in the wild! Your execution seems on the right track...perhaps patience wasn't and...

Hell yes they are! Mine are from my reloading gear I disassembled over two years ago before moving from the PNW to the east coast.

Oh yea, Angel...whatever you wrap your hilt with for design...

Interesting...I actually thought about doing this exact same thing within the last year...exactly how you have it drilled and wrapped...

I don't know much about the board you are using, but what...

No problem.

Assuming it's a standard MHS v1 and there are no grooves then 1.45" × 3.14 = 4.553"

So your measurement is pretty close...

If you are really trying to be super precise use a micrometer to...

Are you talking about the Korbanth cross guard 2.0? If so I was referring the cross guard section that TCSS makes.

Would there be enough room in this piece to place a switch (5mm led type) and a recharge port. Copper Nova or flat type?

Oh also make sure your battery is fully charged...I noticed with my two NBIV builds they go crazy when the battery is going dead.

What board is it? I think the quickest and easiest troubleshooting steps you could do is first check the settings on the SD card and /or try reformat the SD card. You can download the original...

Hey everyone, TLDR; at the bottom.

I joined the forum a couple years ago, but have been lurking a little longer. Lifetime fan of the fantasy genre started when dad gave me his original Conan books...

Sorry for the multiple post for those who get notifications, I have been on the road and went to make and edit to my spelling or grammar and it would delete this response:

FJK thank you for the...

Apologies in advance, I don't mean to highjack the thread. However I was wondering FJK, I have read the manual...given 3.7V is the primary/preferred power source now...in your opinion would hard...

Beautifully done man...I cannot wait to be out of apartment life and back into my own house again...I miss having a shop to work in.

Very cool! My wife and I have each designed curved hilts and I am planning for the builds. What is the ID of the curved piece? The pics in the store look to be 1.15" ID.
