let it begin.

Thanks all for the input, I'll be placing an order soon.

And stupid noob question.

does the sink tube adapter fit on the outside or inside of the sinktube?

[Jay-gon Jinn]

The sinktube adaptor fits inside the sink tube.

[ArkaiHalon]

Thankyou


my order just got bigger. lol

[Jay-gon Jinn]

I don't see why you would need that? It looks like you're going to use an MHS hilt in the picture, and if so, the sinktube adaptor isn't really necessary.

[goldsaberwarrior]

If you're going to make an mhs saber you don't need a sink tube adapter. The only time you do need it is when you're mounting an mhs blade holder to a regular sink tube.

[ArkaiHalon]

I realize that. However all my other sabers are sink tubes, and i'd love to put a blade in them.

[Jay-gon Jinn]

Ahh, okay! Be sure to post pics of those too, when you get them done! You'll like that adaptor, it makes it so much easier to attach parts to a sink tube!

next dumb question.

I want to have a recharging port/battery set up.

What's the best battery set up to go with, and will fit in the MHS?

[Hasid Lafre]

What do you want? a 3w or a 5w? Whats your mhs design? think your gonna have room? if your gonna do a recharge setup then I would strongly put the port in the pommel.

It will save space. the AA battery packs are 4" long and will take up a good amount of space. the AAA battery packs are smaller but have less current cause of the size.

If your gonna have sound you got to figure out where to put the speaker.

[ArkaiHalon]

My original plan has evolved somewhat, and is as follows, and I'm hoping someone will tell me if this won't work.

I want to put the speaker in the pommel itself, and use the pommel insert as the speaker grill. Recharge port close to the pommel, switches (originally closer to the pommel end) in the center.
