The 815 "Sanguine"

[Taegin Roan]

Thanks Taegin! It is on the shorter side, not sure how short. I will take some measurements and comparison photos when I get home today. It would be on or just under 10" if I were to guess.

Next build should still be the wooden one. This one was just an unexpected interruption.

That's what I figured. It looks similar in size (from what I can tell) to the Apprentice, which is 9.875".

I have to agree with Jediseth here. It is a great looking interruption.

Alright. I like it. Just over 10" is good enough for me. Thanks for the picks Isola.

Point to you

Yep I was a bit off on my guess but seeing as you can grip it anywhere it still works very well size wise

Good work, very nice!

I missed this when you first posted, but it's a great piece of work, Isola I also really like the 'leather' finish - I imagine it makes it a little more grippy in hand?

[Zren Tobas]

So if you buy a Catalyst, say you want to use an Arbiter emitter and different pommel, can you? I know then the led wires would be kinda snug in the body though x.x I'm having a cool idea. Like if you take off the choke. Or maybe still leave it on. I like the Catalyst whole but the main emitter is just kinda bleh to me

Everything is MHS compatible, so the only concern is with fitting everything inside.

0.00000815% grippier maybe? It's still high gloss paint after all. It's more a pattern effect in the clear than it is an actual grip coating. The ridges in the body do give quite a lot of grip on the Catalyst body though so it was already nice and grippy

Yes and No. You can do some cram-fu and fit a standard housing mostly in to the body and partly into the emitter, but you want a deep emitter for this to work. You cannot, however, use the choke as well.

This is the style of LED in the Catalyst



As you can see it fit in the choke, not the body. The wires run through the choke/neck into the body.



This is how clearance there is over the switch in the Catalyst body (not much)



This is as far down as a standard LED housing can go



And because the choke point on a Catalyst is smaller than 1" you can't fit the LED housing through the choke, or up in to the choke to take that extra 1/2" of housing that sticks out.



So even if you put the LED housing on the top section of the choke, ran the wires down to the body and changed the emitter, the LED housing would be inside the emitter, shortening your blade socket length and also... it looks really, really, really bad

[Wobbywoo]

Well, it's a nice idea but I'm afraid I have to agree that it doesn't look all that fantastic... perhaps one of the square-er chokes from the other guys might work?
