Title: Initiate v2 (why a vented pommel?) mod. Post by: Calculon on September 21, 2016, 05:37:06 AM Got many things checked off of the to-do list for would-be smithies/installers, working on this and another hilt at about the same time. Not sure what Im happy about more; having the time to do this or the fact that its done. I realized afterwards that the chassis that fits will also work with just about any other card I own! Anyways... just about one of the best one handed sabers I have used. The saber in the very back which belongs to a friend, which also now has the "super stunt electronics" in it, is definitely in my top 3 sabers for its outer diameter.
Very LOUD so adjust your volume. Thanks for the time and support! MTFBWY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRbA2KlTJuM Title: Re: Initiate v2 (why a vented pommel?) mod. Post by: Rapine on September 21, 2016, 09:00:35 AM Wow Calculon!
That's amazing man. You're so adept at that stuff! ;D Those hilts sure are small - I didn't realise how small though - Holy Schnikes! Which sound font was that? +1 dude - for awesome!

Title: Re: Initiate v2 (why a vented pommel?) mod. Post by: scifidude79 on September 21, 2016, 01:56:21 PM Dude, you're a friggin' genius with this stuff. A V2 with sound, pulse and flash on clash. That's just brilliant. Plus, not only is it a V2, it's the tiny one. Truly amazing.
+1 dude - for awesome! I couldn't have said it better. :D Title: Re: Initiate v2 (why a vented pommel?) mod. Post by: Calculon on September 21, 2016, 03:38:52 PM Wow Calculon! That's amazing man.

Thank you for the points and support gang! When I get a chance I'll find out those fonts for you. Title: Re: Initiate v2 (why a vented pommel?) mod.

Makes my puny external cosmetics look decidedly pedestrian. Well deserved point to you sir. Title: Re: Initiate v2 (why a vented pommel?) mod. Post by: Corwyn VonBeck on September 22, 2016, 06:06:54 PM Very nice! big sound for something so little!
Title: Re: Initiate v2 (why a vented pommel?) mod. Post by: Hansrad on September 22, 2016, 06:14:09 PM That's an amzaing amount of stuff crammed in there. Looks and sounds amazing.
Title: Re: Initiate v2 (why a vented pommel?) mod. Post by: Calculon on September 22, 2016, 06:43:58 PM Thank you all! Hopefully get to test it out tonight, see if its combat worthy.

You're quite simply a genius where wiring is concerned. :) I'm thinking that would make an excellent shoto, or off-hand saber... +1 dude. Title: Re: Initiate v2 (why a vented pommel?) mod.

You're quite simply a genius where wiring is concerned. :) I'm thinking that would make an excellent shoto, or off-hand saber... +1 dude. Thank you LR! I would like to try and use this saber again with the necessary... exuberance. Definitely someone with the right skill set and athleticism can take advantage of this saber. I dont think Im there yet. I made some kind of attempt last week and... the mind is willing, the body is... Title: Re: Initiate v2 (why a vented pommel?) mod. Post by: Calculon on October 11, 2016, 06:55:17 PM This was a bit of a milestone for me. My first recharge port (recessed) install. I've mounted on to a reaper using a box, internally in a chassis, built a chassis for a recharge port, this... Only thing left is to wire around a speaker and into a pommel. It's bugging the hell outta me too that the build doesnt have a recharge port. Can't share that build here though. PLI and speaker LED; lining them up in my crosshairs. (how do you choose the right resistor for the speaker LED!?)
Thanks for checking it out. Ultrasabers, a version of this hilt with the ID being the same from pommel to switch; would be great for a DIY starter kit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7w6PfBRZaw Title: Re: Initiate v2 (why a vented pommel?) mod.
