Thread: Trying to create a shopping list need help struggled to select items in shop and MHB

    Default Trying to create a shopping list need help struggled to select items in shop and MHB

    As there is a shortage of high end cards I pieced together a lesser saber, does this look ok for a NB Saber?
    I added a couple of extra bits and bobs.
    was a bit confused by Pex, is it a set resistor and LED must fall within preset guidelines?
    Was a little unsure with the resistor for the main LEDS
    if tri rebel royal blue royal blue white I estimate 1ohm 2 watts or 1ohm 3.3 watts defending how wired, not sure if that overload and latter I guess is just a drain

    Here are the bits in my list at TCSS

    Power Xtender? 2.0
    Insert O-ring
    Hilt style 4
    MHSV1 Blade Holder Style 18
    MPS Pommel style 10
    Main Body Powder Coating
    Blade Holder Powder Coating
    Pommel Powder Coating
    Media blasting
    MWS Short Momentary 16mm AV Switch - Black
    Drill & Tap Hole
    MHS speaker mount V6 - For 28mm Speakers
    8-32 x 1/8" Set screw
    Luxeon 18deg Tri-Rebel Star Lens
    Star thermal tape pad
    Luxeon Tri-Rebel Star
    Activation box style 9
    Box 9,10, and 17 Mounting holes service
    1" Hilt safety plug
    3.7V-14.8V Li-Ion Smart charger
    Switchcraft 2.1mm Power Jack
    JST Male connector 26AWG Yellow
    JST Female connector 26AWG Yellow
    JST Male connector 26AWG Green
    JST Female connector 26AWG Green
    JST Male connector 24AWG Blue/White
    JST Female connector 24AWG Blue/White
    2X JST female connectors with shared ground
    1ohm 2w resistor
    1ohm 5w resistor

    Because it is a small Saber I selected a Basic Hilt

    The insert o-ring is sized for the MHSv2 pommels. You want the MPS clip http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/MPS-Clip-P72.aspx to hold your pommel insert in place. You also need a pommel insert.

    The PEX will require a resistor, and the value will depend on which LED you're using. Read the post on Ohm's Law, or use an online resistor calculator.

    You have media blasting and powder coating. Be advised that the media blasting effect will be covered up unless you use one of the translucent powder coats.

    You'll have to source your 3.7v li-ion pack locally, since you're not in the US. Don't forget the NB and your speaker.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    Thanks, I realised after I posted I left of the pommel insert and clip, the rings I wondered if they would work as grips on the hilt.
    Thanks, I was wondering if the Pex still required a resistor or not after I understood how the 0602s worked with accent LEDs on the CF7

    I had trouble trying to select powder coatings etc so just left as was, I would have discussed my order first before placing, I did mail JQSabers because they are in same country as me but still waiting for reply, I see they advertise MHS parts etc

    I also realised that my lesser saber idea also futile as no stock of NBs lol. Oh well guess the universe telling me it's not to be

    The NBs don't typically stay out of stock for long. Two weeks is the longest I've seen.

    There used to be some o-rings in the store that fit as grips in some of the parts, but can't find them anymore. Check your local hardware store.

    That's good to hear thanks, do you know if Cex are also quick to stock?
    I too thought I saw rings for grips, multiple colours.

    Typically a similar restock time for all the Plecter Products. PC, NB, PEX, CEX.
