Well, at least it's a relevant question. As opposed to someone resurrecting a 2+ yr old saber thread just so they can say"Cool!"

Yes you need a heatsink. Especially for a PVC saber cause the PVC is more of an insulator and doesn't transfer heat to cooler air like an aluminum hilt would.Originally Posted by Onlyone

Who's "he"? There's alot people commenting here.
I'm all over it Fenderbender, should have mentioned I came to that conclusion but thanks for additional reasoning. Having a better understanding of all these parts/materials is key.

The id is smaller where the blade sits and the heat sink sits about a cm below the blade on a lip of the mhs piece below the blade holder so the optics and lens holder can sit on top of the LED without being crushed by the blade. You won't really be able to picture how the MHS system works without seeing it first hand.
Also the p4 IS going to get hot so you need a brass heat sink. If you're using a sink tube that has a id of 1.25 then get the mhs adaptor set which comes with a larger heatsink. Plastic won't do I'm afraid.
PVC blade holder is going to be far less sturdy that the above option, so I personally wouldn't go with a pvc blade holder solution.
Spend a bit more and you'll have something far more reliable.
These are the parts you're looking for, you will pay more, now move along....

I think he meant you? Since you're the one that resurrected this old thread.

Nice that he acknowledged I've been doing some reading but funny that someone would assume I'm a guy.
Unless I get an obvious indication,
I stick to user names.

I can picture it actually good description but my hilt isn't that simple and i would need several mhs parts to do this.
My outer layer of sink tube is 1.5 so I'd need a blade holder to fit that and a choke and then well most of my hilt is pvc inside so I'd have to almost start from scatch. I am looking at doing this later but can't afford it all.
Inside the 1.5" sinktube is a vacuum adapter with a piece of pvc with 1" ID. The vacuum adapter changes ID and OD and is connected to 1.5 sink tube with pvc spacers on each end. Then another vacuum adapter and repeats and another section or sinktube.
Pics below...I'm making alterations to the pummel as shown in the upper right hand version. a style/function thing.
I'm ordering parts to complete it and either I'm upgading it later. It would be nice to be able to finish it for now though.
PS ..I'm not weak minded so those mind tricks don't work on me...
And its heat sinks are copper not brass....hehe
My apologies, i just figured guys are more apt to put out crude usernames?Nice that he acknowledged I've been doing some reading but funny that someone would assume I'm a guy.

Especially with the one he used.
It's also a safe assumption that you are male, because probably 99% of the people posting here are.
I am the only female who posts here regularly and has over a few hundred posts.
