My new CF 3.0 MHS

**vortextwist** · 01-08-2008, 04:22 PM

Well here it is, pretty much done. just maybe a few cosmetic changes.
Running a 3.0 CF, 7.2 rechargeble, recharge port, lux III royal blue (messed up my lux V cyan)

I used the stock luke switch and added a mini momentary switch. This sucker is lound! And I thought my other mhs was loud. gonna have to fix that (maybe a CF 2.6 for it) ;D
I take crappy pics but here they are.

that's stingray skin in the grip area, and the luke pommel, still can't decide on the tri ring or covertec.

found these at radioshack. came with a black and red one. they fit into the luke box if I bent the pins. plenty of room when I got it in there.

Very nice, VT! I'd ditch the tri-ring, but that's just me.

thanks jay, I just hadn't decided yet. I will prolly do that though.

nice looking

Looks great Vortex, I like it. A classic look yet sleek at the same time.

Very nice, Vort!

Looking forward to hearing and seeing video of it... it's a shame about you saying you fried an LED, but... we've all been there.

One good thing about K2 "light side" LEDs (FYI)... it is pretty impossible to fry them using Erv's CF... no matter WHAT ledcurrent configuration you give it. For obvious reasons.

Hope to hear all the sound fonts you're using in there!

Looks cool vortex! I want to do a saber with ray skin. I've seen several people do it and it looks awesome!
Sorry about your LED gettin' fried.

When I was building my second MHS I almost fried one of my white K2s. (Had the wrong resistor)

thank guys!. Ya I don't think it was the config of erv's board. but not sure what it did. I'll work on a vid this week/end. I really like the ray skin but I got to find a diff way to cut it. scissors just don't cut it very good.
