No more planning and this is it!

**Hasid Lafre** · 07-31-2008, 01:59 AM

Ok so Iam getting tired of planning this and that and well Iam just gonna do it and if I don't like Iam gonna sell the thing off.

I just need to get a couple parts and one is custom and another is tough to get fast or easy to get and takes forever to arrive so where to get it from is a tough choice.

Now the saber will use either a luxIII bin 2 cyan that Ive had for ages or I will use my orange led that I got from BR, or just pony up the cash and get a luxV. Now some say luxV arnt worth it with the rebel out and all and well to be frank I don't want to send it to someone to install the tiny goober or waste the time to do it myself cause I don't want to deal with something that fricken tiny. Saber will house a CF v2.5, Battery pack will be decided when I decide what led to use.

Design is based on a little bit of this and that with something of old and something new, borrowed and broken.

Now the parks clamp either I get it from parks and wait a year for it or try to source one. But putting the switches in that will be a pain so Iam gonna use 2 small momentary buttons like this in a card on the clamp.

I know unoriginal, but Iam also probably gonna put a couple accent leds with the short bezel in the card as well.
So if I get bored with it Iam gonna sell it off but I need to get this thing finish already.

Iam talking to Tim right now about a custom extension. Its basically a ribbed section cut down to 2.5" long and the ribs lathed off.

But to the end point Iam not sure if I want to use the luxIII cyan or the orange on this saber or not, I think maybe a luxV is in order but if I go that route I need a battery pack thats no longer than 4" and will provide more than 800mah. I need a battery pack that will give me 2.5 hours of run time at a minimum.

So should I stick with my 4.8V 2600mah pack and get a k2 or should I get a luxV and have to worry about getting a battery pack that has the needs I.....need. I would get the 7.2 nihm pack but thats just to big and Iam not sure if Iam gonna have that much room to spare.

Iam sure it looks like I got enough room to use just about anything but I don't want this to be cramped and a simple swing will take the wiring apart.

Now to find the right size timing belt.

Ok enought rambling for now

Well Iam thinking since I got a CF I might as well as weigh in all my led options.

Iam thinking either a k2 if I cant fit a larger battery pack and if I can a luxV but if Iam gonna go with a k2 I might as well get a colored p4 like the blue.

But the axe is on an indefinite hold as the pvc tubing I got isn't going to be large enough.

I'm going for an Li-Ion pack and a lux V for my CF I think, the LI-Ion pack from the store isn't very big but has plenty of voltage for a Lux V.

**Hasid Lafre** · 08-04-2008, 01:46 PM

Yes but I need runtimes, almost an hour isent gonna cut it with the one in the store and I already have a nimh charger.

If you can wangle it, and the power ratings aren't too different, use the quick change system.

I thought you'd use normal polyc for the blade of the axe?

As for the clamp, there's a guy on ebay that does then in 3 or 4 different styles.

Well for the axe I was gonna use the normal poly c blade and use sort of a drop/off the side bladeholder and a short section to hold the puck and batterypack, But I also want to use the handel of the axe to hold the blade when I have it mounted to my mando. But that would leave me with just a 3/4" blade and I dont want to deal with that at all.

So Iam gonna wait till last to figure out the axe, But the orange led is going in the axe.
