Thread: Is this possible?

    Default Is this possible?

    Hi,

    Is this saber build possible?

    I really want a hilt that just has all grooves.

    I apologize if this isn't the correct forum to post, but I didn't know where else to do it.

    Thanks.

    Scott

    That would work fine but your ID will be 1.15" rather than 1.25", it kinda depends on what's going inside it.

    Looks like you have a switch over the threads between the blade holder and ribbed section below it. You might want to rethink that placement. It will interfere with the led module not to mention you'd have to drill a pretty big hole through threads.

    No, that is not a realistic design.

    Yes this is possible..... just not with conventional MHS parts from the store. This entire design would need to be a custom commissioned piece and could be discussed with Tim if you are serious about it.

    You could even keep your switch placement. I would start by making your ribbed piece with a male threaded end there by moving them from where your switch is and adding internal female threads to the base of your emitter. This would mean that your blade holder would need to be extended on the bottom by .250" or so to accommodate the internal female threading.

    There is nothing here that I see that cannot be done so long as you have a little ingenuity.
    There's a difference between knowing the path.....and walking the path.

    Thank you for the replies.

    The overall length is approximately 12".

    I am serious about the design.

    Why not?

    Look at the design AS IS - CAREFULLY. What normally goes where the switch is??

    Yeah, DC has already flagged that. Just a little adjustment required and a bit crum-fu. There may even be room for a little bit of sarcasm.

    I'm kind of leaning towards Forgetful on the switch placement. I was just barely able to get a silver tactile switch in the region above where the heat sink for the LEDs is located just past the blade holder/emitter. That was difficult. Then again I used the larger, thicker v3 heat sink rather than the v4, thinner heat sick. That would have helped me out. However, I did use a tri-Cree and after a while they get hot and the v3 heat sink may be necessary. A single Cree would be ok with the v4 heat sink. Then there should be room for the AV switch as the v4 shouldn't go past the blade holder/emitter.
