MHS Shopping list

[Skottsaber]

Ok guys this is my MHS design:



This is my list of parts so far and I've gutted a Hasbro Vader Force Action saber

EDIT: This is an updated version from the original post

7" fluted body with standard switch hole
MHS Choke Style 1 short
MHS Blade holder style 13
MPS Clip
MPS Insert style 1
MPS Pommel style 4
8-32 x 1/2" thumb screw
Drill & Tap hole (for retention screw)
Build your own Seoul P4 electronics kit
switch bezel nut
3/16" Heatshrink tubing
2 wire quick connector
Premium Speaker
MHS Speaker mount v2
2x Black o-ring

I read that I needed a relay with the economy board - Is this 100% necessary or can I just power it off the board + buckpuck? In any case which kind of relay will I need? (Remember i'm in South Africa so no radioshack etc.) Lastly I could not find any dimensions on the blade holder so I don't know whether it will hold one of my blades (I have 2 initiate mid-grade blades from Ultrasabers from my Phantom initiate) I believe they are 1" OD.

Many thanks,
Scott

Forget the puck, and just run the P4 direct off of the board. I have done this before and it works great with the P4. No relay either, make sure that the switch that you use is momentary cause that's what the board requires.

[Skottsaber]

Great thanks Fender! Updated the list.

[Rhyen Skytracker]

Fender is correct. You can run a P4 directly off the board with no problems and it will give you a bright blade.

Ok then does anybody know whether I can fit by Ultrablade into the TCSS bladeholder?

[kurtsea]

you can if you sand the blade were it fits into the blade holder or the inside of the blade holder itself

[Skottsaber]

Oh. So by looking at the blades in the LED section of the store I gather that I will need a 3/4" blade? Or is it a minute difference, i.e the reason for suggesting sanding?

[cardcollector]

The TCSS bladeholder is made to fit 1" polycarbonate tubing.

the ultraedge blade is a hair bigger than 1"

[astromech_kuhns]

yes its not a whole lot to sand, as like said by cardcollecter it is just a tad bit bigger.

also i would suggest getting a decent amount of heat shrink if you dont have any at your house or a radio shack. that way you dont have to make two orders, and you will end up using it for other sabers in the future any way

[Jedi-Loreen]

Is there a reason you're ordering the adhesive lined heat shrink? It's really made more to waterproof connections. Plus, it's messy and hard to remove if you needed to redo a solder connection for some reason.
