And the Build log here...

Couple of things to consider. Its made for a slightly larger diameter. The graflex flashtube is 1.5" OD. However it should fit. You'll have to grind down the tabs the stick out in the interior. If...

So I am converting a heiland. I cut a channel for a small tactile switch to place under the original camera flash button. Similar to the graflex red button setups I've seen. However while the saber...

Does the CF v8 have any deep sleep pads like the v9? I was planning on adding a Bluetooth module, but I didn't want it to draw power while the saber is in deep sleep. Can I use the 3.3V pad similar...

I have been looking for a way to make a crazy bright saber and wondered about the 5054 Led strips I see around. There is one that is 120leds per meter, which is similar to neopixel density

What did you use to make the blade plug? Could you take a shot without the LED on?

Just finished the Copper Forge. Another saber smith will be adding the electronics.

Can you share your secret on cutting the belts so they line up like that?

You could use a 1.5 adapter and a regular mhs blade holder http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/MHS-to-15-sink-tube-adapter-P162.aspx
MHS parts are made to fit within a 1.5 sink tube.
