Where did you guys get your chargers? Local or online?

The custom saber shop

Solo's hold for me. A really great guy...

Should go live tomorrow:



I'm in spaghetti hell right now...

OK... 2 grand realizations today... 1) the reality CAN be worse than the fear... 2) Is in the form of a question... Why can't we chose what we are good at... let's say soldering instead of cooking...






anyway... I fully expect to get feeling back in that particular finger... :/

Soldering issues aside, if you are having issues with everything fitting, from what I have heard from a guy who does killer installs, you want to use 30 gauge wire, especially with Darth Ryo/G.O.T.H. 3Designs 3D Printed Chassis. I can't tell for sure but your wire appears to me to be larger than 30 gauge.

...I can't tell for sure but your wire appears to me to be larger than 30 gauge.

Oh, no... it's all 30 AWG. I was shocked when such a small wire did the job with no problem...

Seriously, though... I'm completely enjoying the build... IF the gods are just, I'll be able to tuck away all the spaghetti and report on progress tomorrow...

I know what the kill key does but if you don't have it what is the replications .... Stupid me I lost it!

 

[Fett 4 Real]

It's HERE! Finally can get this thing together!

The blade holder has pre drilled set screw holes...but not the same size as what I had boughten....gotta go find some hopefully the local hardware store has some!

You need another one. Email Darth Ryo, he'll tell you which way to jump...

Not sure what the pre-drilled set screw holes are for... I assume using the TCSS modular chassis system. If you went with the Goth chassis you will still need to drill the chassis retention screw and the LED heat sink retention screw.

Dang but this is a thoroughly aggravating but beautiful thing...

 

[Fett 4 Real]

Ahhh I see what you mean. I only had a chance to take it apart before heading to work. Here is the glass eye replica. Gotta drill out the blade holder and all. Lots to do this week.

I dunno'... I sorta' like the whole "looking into the deep" thing it's got going on... The full replica glass eye seems to be a little over the top light-wise to me... but it could just be me...
