My new MHS build with CF6+CeX

[fragrax]

I proudly present my latest MHS based custom saber!

For my third MHS project I wanted to incorporate a shroud element into the design. I also wanted to take advantage of the new color mixing capability of the CrystalFocus v6 with the added CeX board while still leaving room for a visible crystal chamber. So it was a bit tricky to incorporate all these elements into the design considering that the hilt is barely over 11'' long, but I think it came out resonably well.

I'd like to thank Tim from TCSS for the great work he did on the hilt and also Erv for the help in sorting out some technical problems I had with the soundboard.

Specs:

- Crystal Focus v6.10 + CeX
- Tri-rebel RGrB LED
- 2W speaker
- 7.4V 1400mAh li-ion battery pack
- Visible crystal chamber
- Real quartz crystal illuminated by a 5mm RGB LED wired to match blade color
- Illuminated red ring AV switch
- R.I.C.E. port
- 7 segment blue bargraph

Trying to pick my jaw from the floor here... Fell in love with the saber at first sight. Every single detail (the gold/silver emitter, the knurled rear grip, the switch box/shroud over the forward grip) adds nicely to make a hilt that looks gorgeous to me. Really excellent work there, congratulations.

Because it deserves to be repeated: very very cool saber fragrax!

Looks like something I'd make.. but with more diamond knurling. Looks great overall. I love your choice in soundfonts most of all, to be honest.

Simple but very beautiful.
I like it a lot!!

[Sills]

Nice, very nice.

Ciao, vedo che sei di Torino giusto?
io sono di Milano...la faccio breve, sono rimasto stupito da quello che hai realizzato ? veramente una bellezza....volevo chiederti una specie di lista di componenti che hai usato e come li hai assemblati per fabbricarla...vorrei realizzarne una anch'io...ma non saprei dove partire(ovviamente non voglio farla uguale) ho anch'io un p? di manualit?
I pezzi che non capisco sono la parte elettrica con il cristallo, le varie schede elettroniche cosa sono? e poi come hai fatto i rivestimenti metallici esterni...Volevo chiederti se potevi essere un p? pi? dettagliato magari con foto di ogni singolo pezzo. lo so che ti chiedo molto, ma per me ? molto importante........grazie e complimenti ancora

Ciao,
s? abito vicino a Torino. Sono contento che ti piaccia la spada. Comunque le schede elettroniche che ho usato le ho comprate da plecterlabs in Francia. Il resto dei pezzi li ho comprati quasi tutti su thecustomsabershop.com. Il rivestimento esterno dell'elsa l'ho fatto fare su mi sura da loro. Puoi contattare Tim via mail e chiedere se pu? fare una cosa simile anche per te. Il cristallo e la schedina con i LED SMD li ho comprati da persone che ho conosciuto sul forum.
A questo link puoi trovare il diagramma dei collegamenti che ho fatto di tutti i componenti interni. Questa invece ? una sezione che mostra il posizionamento dei componenti all'interno dell'elsa. Infine qui c'? una lista dei pezzi che ho modificato per costruirmi lo chassis. Spero possa esserti utile.

Dude, this hilt is just freakin' amazing. Solid work.

Every so often, a saber gets posted that makes me say, "I want to build one of THOSE for myself!"

This is one of those sabers. Great job!
