I was also curious about the weathered hilts. I'm thinking about having you just send mine out with out the weathering

Was considering the same.

 

[TheAutoTech]

Curious as well if it means another long period of waiting.

 

[ObiWanJacobi]

Indeed

Does anyone know if the Golden harvest v3 sound board is compatible with the chassis?

I don't have mine in hand yet but I will say that GH is smaller than CFX, so there should be enough room. It would just be a matter of finding a way of securing it from moving around.

The client wanted a pixel strip in place of the oled on the back, which added complication bc it eats up a lot of space that could otherwise be used for wire management. My biggest gripe is that proffie compatibility is almost an afterthought. Once you glue the board down you need either a super low profile 90° usb cable or do what I did and sand the plastic insulation off of the one you have you also need to trim the little 'tongue' at the back of the npx pcb holder that helps with wire management or there is no way to get the SD card out.

Those are my only real gripes. It's a little unorthodox of a setup but this is a bit of an unorthodox hilt design. I've done wayyy harder. Oh one other thing, you won't really need the four large magnets for the switch box. It's super tough to get off with only the small ones. Also make sure you sand all of the 3d printed greeblies or none of them will go together correctly. Not a huge deal. I got the install done in a weekend working on and off on it.

Regarding the magnets, the easiest way to pop the box off is to remove the screw and slide the main grips down.
We want a super strong attraction so no one looses their boxes.
We have limited amounts of extras
We angled the box to make the sliding of less obstructive

Thank you for your notes and the great work you are doing

UPDATE!
I bought a way better respirator and tested out a different area to do the weathering
The results were much better and I didn’t irritate my respiratory system.
I am getting help and hope to have all of them weathered ones done not this weekend but next weekend
The shipping will resume after they are done and I have help with that as well.
Thank you all so much!!!

Didn't think of that! I'll try that out on mine when it comes in.

Would something like this help with like the narrow 90degree turn for data?

Might still be a bit too bulky. I'd recommend this-

Low Profile Micro USB Data Transfer Cable 20cm

Here we have a low profile micro USB data transfer cable that allows for users to access their boards micro USB board without the concern of a large cable head. It has a USB male and micro USB male connector head. Some builds have little space for the bulk that a standard micro USB cable may...

Question for those who’ve installed already.
Did you have any issues with the tiny switch pixels?

Everything else is working fine, but those 2 won’t display white. They will display green, blue, purple or whatever, but when set to white they kind of flicker weirdly in a color.
Also animated sequences work fine, like turbine or KITT or slow reverse etc. but only in other colors.
This is on proffie 2.2
Thanks for any insights

No issues here, but that sounds to me like a data line issue. Make sure your wire and joints are in good shape and maybe try switching data pins if you have one left over.

The pixels on the switch are rgb
The pixels in the blade are rgbw
Be sure to have separate date lines and address this in the programming

There are two sets of LEDs on the switch PCB, correct? One set are white LEDs with pads on the front and the other are neopixels with the pads on the back. Is it possible they aren't wired correctly in this instance?

What you are describing is likely programming issue

 

[Darkmatter73]

Tried again. I know this isn’t a support forum so I won’t go too crazy.

The switch pixels are on data 2. Swapped the data wire out for a new one. Still displays other colors fine, just tried green in fact. Sequences also fine, used slow reverse this time.
I know they are wired correctly, as I can manipulate as I want, just not for white.

Swapped over to data 3, same result.
Just for S&G I put an in-line 330 ohm on the data, just in case, as they appear to be pre resistored. No change.
Took that off and reprogrammed to blue, works fine.

I’m not sure what I could be missing?

 

[ManchegoVariant]

Are there any chance there are some extra brass chambers available?

There are not but you can order them from shapeways
