Azmaria's MHS6 - "Earth Element" Saber

[Azmaria Dei]

Earth Element Saber

Ceregan's Reach is technically the "Spirit" in the elemental series i'm working on. This is "Earth" for that same series. marbled upper parts with gold greeblies (which are there because i somehow destroyed the threads on another emitter, had to cut it out, and that destroyed the threads on the Mara DF so i had to just cut those out and secure it with 4 thumbscrews...) the covertec is on the backside and is the 4th screw holding the emitter on. i forgot to bring a resistor with me for the switch LED, so that still needs to be put in. the lower half has holes drilled all over the shrouded area. i probably should have added a vented pommel insert to make it a bit louder, but i have plenty of room for resonance and it has a nice deep hum, though it is a bit quiet... anyway, i know the shroud window is crooked on 2 of the lines - they're still parallel and i kinda like it like that, hence why i didn't redo the whole thing. as soon as i get my Lee filters i'll be dropping a light blue filter into it.

Specs
MHS parts of course. the new sleeve material too. Obi econo board modified to drive a vibe motor. main switch is for main power - secondary is a mom switch for triggering the sound separate. the main LED is a CREE WWWW LED wired in parallel and resistored for 700mA each die. the whole thing is powered by one of my amazing scrapped laptop Li-Ion 18650 cells with a 6A PCB. recharge and kill key port in the pommel. i'm not sure how bright that LED is, but once i can see again i'll let everyone know.

and now for pictures! ^_^ enjoy!
