Hi everyone!...told you it wouldn't be long. As I've mentioned, Mantis is my first saber finished but actually the 4th saber. This one I'm posting now is the second one I started. It belongs to my girlfriend and I designed it with her. She's been so great with tolerating my saber silliness and gives me a lot of help with tools, like where she keeps them and how to set them up..lol. Actually we make a great team.
With out further ado....
I can't believe how clean I wired this one, and how tight everything is packed below the custom ribbed section. I thought it was going to get damaged but actually it sounds and runs amazingly. the exposed wire is no longer then the solder pads and the solder is 90% perfect to my knowledge. The clash sensor is wicked responsive so you can flick your wrist rapidly and it goes off like a machine gun. On low volume setting it is still louder then Mantis. It is REALLY loud. I can't see myself doing anything but "reverse sound" and this one had 8 wires to get past the speaker. If I can't reverse it it ain't worth doing.
Now that we have two sabers finished with sound it was an awesome weekend of dueling!
PS can someone get rid of the twisted from the thread title?
...I thought I could get that evil smiley.
