My new Custom saber...Fury

[Arm on Fire]

Here's my design



All my hilt pieces and most of the parts.... (2) 700 mA buckpucks = 1400 mA , red-o luxIII, 5 deg optics, SW-616 Sound board from radio shack fx construction set, DPDT switch, radio shack speaker, and 4 aaa battery pack.



Soldered the DPDT slider to the pins on the back of the switch thats soldered to the board.





cut down the plastic housing the board was in originaly, cut and capped the onl led wires , and hot glued the clash sensor in place.



Here's my buckpuck setup.



here's both together.



Stay tuned... more to come

The moment of truth...







THANKS FOR LOOKING

I really like your wiring and battery chassis with door setup. VERY professional looking. Great work

Very nice Arm of fire

Nice! Very clean looking installation!

Good job!

Very nice saber! Really beautiful, precise machining work and sleek design. I've never been a big fan of the style 1 blade holder, but it works well with your design and the black is a perfect touch.

I like what you did with the guard screws around the slide switch - I'm not terribly fond of the push-button switches, but they're easy to install and work with a simple driver or resistor. I'm thinking of countersunk slide switches for my next project, but not quite recessed, so probably a lower-profile version of what you have with some smaller guard screws and the slide switch sticking out of the hilt just a bit.

got a question. using the way you wire up the dbl 700 mah pucks to drive 1400 on the red/O led, can you run a larger batt pack than the 4 cell 4.8 size?

in other words, instead of a 4.8 recharge pack, can i safely run a 7.2 2600 mah batt pack on that setup?

if so, then i can just get 2 of those, their goin in my dbl saber hilt. a dbl 700 puck in each half, drivin a red/O led in each end.

Yeah, buckpucks are awesome in voltage. The more you can give them the better. I believe their max is 24 V. In a nice sized hilt you could get crazy runtimes!

question, which prongs did you need to solder the new switch to on the back of the board, I can see they're both on the back line of three, is it the far left and middle or the two outside prongs?
