Very nice vids. Question ... did you use any thermal paste/tape between the led base and the heat sink?

haha jk i never owned a ultra sound board so, i don't know how good nor bad they are. But if Tim says its a good thing, its a good thing! haha Because we all know Tim knows best for us with-in this "powerfully" addicting hobby of ours! haha but back on topic... Thanks for posting the tutorials!
Yes i did, since the saber was an upgrade of my LED only saber the thermal tape was already there.Very nice vids. Question ... did you use any thermal paste/tape between the led base and the heat sink?
Thanks for all the positive comments guys, glad you like the videos.
"A Jedi Master always said this to each of his students before their first lesson: Cross an unfamiliar river without first discerning its depths and shallows, and you will drown in its currents without reaching your goal. Being a Jedi is no different. Identify the pitfalls and learn the proper path, or you fail the Order and sacrifice yourself to no good purpose."
one thing I was wondering. even though you used a red switch, would this kind of guide still help if I were to try and mount an illuminated AntiVandal Switch into a saber and include the ultrasound as well so that it doesn't touch the metal contacts of the switch and thus fry the board? I designed an MHS hilt that's about 15.7 inches long overall and has SOME room below the switch hole, but I dunno. if I get any sort of board I was sort of wondering if there's any precautions besides what you've shown in the video that I should try to take.
Good question. I have been wondering that myself too. Here's what i'm thinking : tcss has "bezels" for that since i think that most illuminated switches won't fit standard alu tubing.

As for the position of the switch : there is no room in my opinion to place a pcb under most type of regular switches. I'd also recommend to always use heat shrink on the contacts of the switch after wiring is soldered.

I was just wondering what you used for the Power Regulator? Would it be similar to the LED Drivers?
You can wire the main LED directly to the Ultrasound 2.5 PCB as you can see in the vid. No need for an additional power regulator.

How many cups of coffee did you drink before you wired that saber? LOL Great videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them.
Oh sorry I should have been more specific.
I was questioning the second vid "LED only". Since I cannot get my hands on an Ultrasound.
"soon" - 4 little letters but very welcome ones...of course "soon" is a relative term, but still encouraging to hear and now we must just exercise a little Jedi Patience eh?...ah well the um Overlord Matterhas been a good teacher of that...
