Thread: Help with first build

  1. #1

    Default Help with first build

    For ease of use I decided to use a JST connection for my first Saber.
    If possible, could someone take a look and see If I have everything I need so I can place my order.
    I have gone over this many times however, I don't want to screw up my order.

    Thank you so much for all the help, I really appreciate it.

    Looks fine to me.

    Most people would advise using a li-ion battery setup rather than the AAAs for the sake of runtime but the AAAs will still work.

    Is this everything you're planning on putting on your order? You'd need holes for your covertec, blade retention screw and guarded switch.

    You said "Guarded Style Latching Switches" Are you planning to order more than one for some reason?

    I copied it from the order screen that might be why it had switches on it.
    I did select guarded switch on my order so that should be good but, I don't understand how to add the hole for the covertec and blade retention screw.

    It's right here under the services section. Select 8-32 for the thread size for both holes, covertec and blade retention.

    Order that service 2 separate times, don't write in 2 locations for holes in one order.

    Thank you for clearing that up.
    I will look into the li-ion battery as well.

    I was bored so here is a 3D rendering of your saber. I have almost all the MHS parts rendered so I can just insert and build. I kind have my own little MHS builder. looks good. nice and clean.

    Thank you for taking the time to render my saber that looks great.
    I'm sure I will tinker with it and add more stuff over time.

    I have loads of free time and have become addicted to 123D. I now look thru forums for things to render.

    I am not only jealous of your free time sir, but also of your 3D modeling skills
