Title: Saber Staff Coupler Post by: Hulk10 on February 07, 2021, 11:38:21 PM Are saberstaves that can be split in two supposed to be screwed together enough so the light buttons are on opposite sides of the staff?
Title: Re: Saber Staff Coupler Post by: SirLiftaLot on February 07, 2021, 11:44:08 PM It's a purely visual/aesthetic thing. I think having them line up with each other tends to look best, but that's just me. If you think having them on opposite sides looks better, or is easier to use (turn on/off), then that's cool too. Although if you don't have something like the QR coupler that can spin freely, you may need something in the middle of them to make them fully tightened in the proper position relative to eachother.

Well...... My Doublesaber has v2 hilts...... So I don't know if a quick release coupler will fit my saberstaff. My Saberstaff has no sound.

Other members who've owned V2s might be able to tell you if there were ever any or any workarounds people came up with. I think QR is just a more recent thing than all that.

But even just a shim or two in the middle of the two hilts (so long as it has the proper inner and outer diameter) could ensure that the hilts line up how you want them to. Should be a cheap and easy solution if you already have a standard coupler.Title: Re: Saber Staff Coupler Post by: Hulk10 on February 08, 2021, 12:38:38 AM Good point.

Though that might mean they would still be loosely attached. Title: Re: Saber Staff Coupler Post by: firehand10k on February 08, 2021, 12:48:25 AM It is truth that the v2s only fit the one design v2 coupler. There is no alignment built into them. TCSS does make timing shims or clocking washers and their MHSv2 ones might fit, that line is similar in size. Another possibility is carefully sanding the end of the saber body. TCSS has an instruction video for this and it can be a tedious process as you must sand just a little then test for fit, then try again until it all lines up as desired. Also if using lack hilts this may produce a visible silver line between the hil and coupler.
