MedicineMan's Build Log for "Mederi" :




Color scheme:

White shroud on aluminum parts. I'm having a hard time debating on color scheme, and if I need to get any parts powder coated prior to ordering.


Innards:

* Rebel Star Green LED
* 6v battery pack
* Petit Crouton - Light Meat
* Crystal Chamber in choke

Parts:
* Activation Box 4
* Pommel style 4
* 7" Double female threaded connector
* Choke style 1
* Blade Holder 8
* 12" MHS Sleeve
* Covertec Clip (debating on color)
* DPDT Green Illuminated Switch



Thoughts and suggestions always welcome. Also, if you do 3D rendering or decent with photoshop, I'd love to see this in different colors schemes.

I like where this is going. You got your work cut out for you for sure. =)

I've got some color ideas from when we talked about this a bit ago. I'll post them up tonight when I get home.

[MedicineMan]

Sweet! Thanks, Boj! Yea this being my first sound and CC i'm expecting a bit of a cram-fu of wiring on this.

For a PC I would recommend you use a rechargable battery solution. If not a Lithium Ion setup, using 4 NiMh cells for 4.8v would be preferable over standard alkalines. Having a recharge port to cut power when removing the SD card is many times more helpful.

Duly Noted. Was wondering about that. Maybe a couple 18650's. I just worry on space, as well as with Activation box 4, where I could put the other switch, and the recharge port. Maybe they could incorporate the covertec clip w/ a recharge port for the screw.

Now to attempt a wiring diagram... :/

First couple with the basic saber for reference..







We had talked about a green and gold and white and gold. Anything else of interest before I start at it freelance? ; }

[MedicineMan]

i'm diggin.. could you do a white shroud with some different color variations?

[Ronan]

White shroud, gold pommel + insides. If you want green, have the box in green. Personally id have it gold or heck leave it bare so its not too bling.

[Boj-Vaati Mau]

Will do, MM. I'll try out Ronan's idea too...
