MHS Choke Section #3

[Darth Abominor]

My searches have not shown an answer to this question, but does the MHS Choke Section #3 (curved neck extension) allow for the blade of a 1in poly to extend through the neck of the choke? I assume this is not possible since the emitters I understand don't normally have a wide enough threaded section to pass a 1in blade, but just checking in case I was wrong.

[Dark Navel]

No, a 1" blade cannot fit through the curved neck section of that choke.

Why would you even contemplate doing this? You'd need a place to put the optics.

And yes, the blade holders are designed with a blade stop to hold the blades above the optics.

No it won't fit. Why do you want to know? I mean, what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Maybe we can help if we know what the goal is

No. it won't. As Navel says, it won't fit. And the blade holder has the blade stop as J-lo mentioned.
Do give us a better idea so we can help.

Master Hampster says to read the 'New to Sabers' topic. Start with that one, then work your way down.

Read, Read, and Read some more.

I got that from one of LDM's posts.

I was just confirming the option of a blade through 'certain parts' to make sure of whatever form a saber might take. I like to be 110% sure of what not to place next to a body section or the like. And yes, I have read the 'Basics of building a Saber' links many times, hence why I was wondering about the chokes. The build lists and such are very general and very helpful in the details of a build, but this was a question of a single section option. Thanks for the info folks.

My idea was one of a blade through the hilt, ending at the LED/Lens to allow the blade to be seen glowing through cut-outs in the hilt, along the length of the saber. This could easily be done with other LEDs I know, but was just thinking with my fingers.

A 3/4" OD blade will fit through it... if you're into 3/4" OD blades.
