Greetings! It has been a long time. Around 2 years actually since I made my first saber and honestly...
I kinda screwed it up a bit..
Not to say that the adventure from start to finish was bad but it was hard for me. I jumped into the hobby without thinking and now that I'm a little older and a bit wiser I want to make up for my mistakes and build an all new saber to show that I can build a saber!
First things I like to point out about my old saber. At first this was the design and finished product:
It was missing a killswitch, the wiring job was atrocious (My fault really), the green v extension was cross threaded and the board itself was... hanging. (le'gasp!)
Cut to maybe a year or so later I decided to correct the mistakes of my past and try to atleast fix it:
-I fixed the board and the wiring but the extra wires are a mess
-Used PVC to fix the hanging issue so that was handy
-The adaptor is now cross threaded but lucky enough I was smart enough to put in the second adaptor that isn't cross threaded. (Cross thread-ception)
- but I added a killswitch!
But after all that I was still left with a little bit of regret. I love my saber but I felt like I let it down as well as myself. I said I would never build another saber again...
Until now.
This time I have buckled down and told myself that I will fix my mistakes, build a chassis and have fun with it!
This is the design I'm looking out. Please don't mind the black because that is actually going to be a leather grip. It is shown next to my old model:Please feel free to suggest a different blade holder if you don't think it will much up. I will admit I am still a little indecisive:
I have my wiring done as well with the new board and I just wanted a check on it. To see if I'm using to many JST connectors haha and on a side note I will be using activation box 14 for build and I already have the RICE connection worked out:
But now I come to the chassis. This is the first time I have created a Chassis.
I'm going to use a MHS speaker mount V4 but I just wanted to check that this speaker mount will also hold my chassis in place?
I'm aware that I am using the 4AA battery holder since I'm from australia the lithium batteries can't be sent internationally which I'm fine with. What I would like to ask is will it fit into my chassis if I used this Acrylic Chassis Disc for PC 2.0 and 14500 side by side pack? Or maybe with I rounded the edges down to fit the battery pack if it would fit at all. Any pointers or tips would be GREATLY APPRECIATED
Thank you all so much!
