Thanks!

Led will be right at the top of the hilt, hopfully up enough the get the emitter to sit a bit higher, maybe useing a large o ring to ad some retention.

I dont think so..I do need to find a way to add a shim or spacer to the emitter so its not so low...I think ill just make a 1.24 heatsink and a set screw, as long as I can space the eitter out...I...

Yes, just the emitter is US, I know they are MHS and since all the blade holders I like are out I figured it would get me on my way to a MHS build, the hilt will be from here. It's a thin neck so the...

As the US emitters are described as being MHS compatible, I scored a used Archon v3 one with the intent of doing my first MHS build. What I didnt consider was how to mount the LED.....as US...

Kill key kills it perfectly.

One (smaller pin that works ) is from a local electronics shop, other is a SF style 5.5mm 2.1 barrel style.

I made a post here: http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/showthread.php?19652-Wiring-check

With my wiring, and im now having a bit of an issue with the charging. I have two charging ports, one in...

Figured it out, 3.7 of li-ion is different than 4.5 of AAA. working great now.

Wired it up, no sound, no light, no nothing. Still not 100% together but I hooked power up just to test after soldering the speaker on hoping for a boot sound and nothing.

Hmmmm, that might explain why its so dim compared to my green XP-E....I dont know why I cam up with that number, must have been really tired when I was reading optimal specs. Guess its back to the...

Its a CREE XP-E, voltage is around 2.1 since its red, same for the AV, difference is 500mah vs 20mah. Appreciate the help!

Yes I drew it with crayons, lol I figured it would be better than MS paint.

The resistor from the LED to the board is based on 3.7v in, and the switch 3.3v in. It will be a 68ohm for the switch...

Following since Id like to upgrade mine.

All done, aside from a D-ring on the pommel bottom to hang it:

Im thinking im going to try it, I know its an LED string, im hoping I can attach 6-8" more of LEDs, and then upgrade the main blade with a nice plug, and then I think the crossguard is 3/4 blades.

Im in the same boat, waiting on a blade holder and there really isnt anything else to use. In the meantime Im sketching future builds, scouting goodwill and hardware stores for parts, reading the...

I dig it, the latching vs momentary makes perfect sense as well. Might be cool to incorporate a similar idea into a build.

I think this is the last thing I can do before ordering more stuff from the shop:

Got the switch installed and wired, everything is wired up with bullet connectors so all I need to do is install...

Originally I planned to use my own heatsink , a finned one and have a cutout so it could be seen through the hllt. I was messing with another idea and already knew I was going to use the TCSS 1.25...

A lot of guys on here make PVC look killer! I just think paint against chrome sink tube is gonna stand out, but that's based on my painting abilities. The PVC is grey so at least its not white with...

Iv been trying similar for weeks, picking up everything at hardware stores and measuring to no luck....except PVC conduit. It has a 1" ID and with a bit of sanding can be made to fit the sink tube. I...

I can guarantee at this point I am making it more difficult, but the main goal of this first saber is a learning process.

I have a vintage 1920's drill press and the pvc fit perfectly on the back...

If you do it you should document it well, Im just waiting for my kid to break his so I can tear it open for the soundboard, haha.

Little update:

Finally took a dremal to the sink pipe and shortened it as well as added a slant to the emitter end.

I got my TCSS order and here is everything laid out minus the blade sitting...

I asked the same thing a few days ago and heres what I came up with. 1" PVC which means the inner diameter is 1", and then sanded it down so the OD was 1 1/4. I plan on threading it and using 8/32...
