Really neat design, please keep us up to date on this, it looks fantastic. One alternative you might do if you have 3d skills or know someone who does (possibly you can find the person who did the...
Actually, you may also want to explore the Nano-Biscotti as a start for several reasons: 1) they are hard to accidentally break while soldering (lord knows my soldering isn't the neatest and I can...
Just as a thought you may wish to consider if you haven't already (and if you have your batteries set for 7.2 vF) putting 2 of the ambers in serial and then having the third in "normal" single LED...
Well, building the claws isn't too bad: You need a hack saw (or a dremel type tool with a ceramic cutting wheel. Don't get the little metal wheels that look like buzzsaws: they have a nasty habit of...
I'm a big fan of the long choke (made my first saber with it) but I think you may be in for a tight fit on the sound card and battery, although there are far better people than me to ask on that. I...
On the bright side, there is an incredible satisfaction in making the saber add-ons and modifying pieces yourself. Add to that the fact that there are some incredibly knowledgeable and incredibly...
Very nice piece. What it reminds me a bit of, especially with the blade holder you have is some of the obsidian arrow heads I've seen over the years, so how about "Obsidian"?
You know, I was thinking about how you could wire the CEX and a PC /CF and I wonder if you could stack them vertically behind the crystal chamber by modifying some of the chassis acrylic disks with a...
Really like the design. As a person with a short grip, I'm also a big fan of the long style 3 choke (built my first saber with one) Very nice design with the very interesting addition of wood as...
I know this might be a little vague but maybe a video going into the preplanning and design iteration stage of how you approach saber design. As an production artist, I'm used to thumbnails,...
Actually, I don't think that the curving shroud shroud be too bad. The last few shrouds I've done have had strong curving elements (if you want I can send you the links via the board messenger so...
Denz' suggestion is a really good one. I started with nano biscottis (a great, rugged little board to learn on) and after the first one, the lesson learned was color coding, major color coding, since...
Jay-gon Jinn is quite correct that pulling a key off of the taped blade will be much easier than pulling one off of the CF. What you will want is a very bright/fluorescent tape so you get minimal...
One thing about the MHS systems that continually amazes me is that most any sabers really can be made with it with a little imagination and work. Curved sabers are so far the only thing that I've...
This looks great! very nice take one the graflex style while retaining originality. Really nice extra shroud on top of the Graflex and rib section. Please post more pictures so we can admire it fully.
Sorry to bump in but I ran into a somewhat similar issue with a combination of PC 3.0 and CEX. Basically the Main LED and Channel 1 Work but Channel 2 does not. I got around it since I'm running a...
The difference is that one has the thin horizontal triple windows on the sides milled all the way through as "windows" that show the blade, one doesn't. I'm afraid I don't remember which is which.
Beautifully done. I especially like how you "break the silhouette" away from just a single tube, using both actual differences in OD but also the clever use of color to create "negative" space....
Actually, the 23mm lens will fit right into the MHS lens holder (the 25mm is the one that needs sanding...)and the quad will fit into the heatsink quite nicely. If you look at my first build...
Just ran into an issue while kicking around a new V2 MHS design idea. Does anyone have thoughts on a shroud material size? The closest I have been able to find is either a 1.305"ID which is, I...
One suggestion, and it also makes things look classy when one does it carefully is to get some of the acrylic disks for the buckpuck, batteries and, if you want it, the recharge switch (if you have...
Stunning. Absolutely stunning!
This turned out to be a really nice hilt. Clean, practical and nicely ergonomic. Would definitely be great to see you add electronics to it and "bring it to life" (insert Gene Wilder "Give my...
I think it looks really great. Just received mine in the mail and am trying to decide what build to use it in. My only wish would be a chassis disk set or other form of mounting method that slide...
