Thx for the tip.
I'll try buying some more discs to replace the broken one, and then if the new ones also don't fit... I may need to contact Tim.
They are S3 - Nano Biscotte & 18650.... & S8 - Recharge Port (in blue)
There are some odd looking (rough?) patches on the inside of the new hilt, running part way down it's length in a few spots. I will try to get a picture of that later today when I can access my PC, since I don't know if this is normal or not.
Pictures finally, not the greatest quality, I'm afraid... 5mp camera on a cheap phone, with no macro setting.
The first 2 images show the inside of the hilt, although the rough spots (darker, finger shaped bits... best description I
can come up with) are a bit hard to see.
The 3rd photo shows my mistake of having the box mounted too close to the threaded end of the hilt. (More specifically,
I believe I requested the box be centered between the threads & the first groove.) The result is my v3 (long) heat sink
is blocking about half of the switch hole. If I had been smart, I would have checked the internal view on the saber
builder which would have allowed me to catch the problem. I then could have flipped the box around so the larger
(switch) side would be pointed towards the pommel before submitting the order.
I can think of 2 possible solutions to this mistake:
1) wait until the v4 (flat) heat sink is in stock, and replace the long v3 I have now (along with a new thermal pad).
2) Buy either a choke (style 1 - short, maybe) or wait for the .75" male/female extension to restock.
At any rate, I will be buying the button head screw I forgot and some more chassis discs, hoping they fit in the hilt,
unlike the last ones.
