Darthmonkey, pretty much everyone here already knows about TCSS and they're stuff based on other threads.

Really it doesn't matter what you think. I put that on here because I wanted to. If people read this and don't know about tcss then cool. If they allready know, and they don't like it they can get over it.

WHAT???

kinda off topic, but i just changed the LED over in my Ultra Anakin from red to green, and it wasn't too hard.  haven't soldered anything since I was 18 (over 10 years ago) and i had no problems.

my question,

what's the easiest way to sand down a polyc blade from TCCS to fit into the anakin.
i don't know how much longer i can wait for a blade holder.

:)

and i can't use the original MR one anymore because i was messing around with it with a saw....

'nuff said.

hey bro yeah just take some sanding paper and sand it down. I did that with one of my TCSS blades to make the blade fit inside the MR Blade holder. If that doesn't work just use a sander and sand the sucker down just make sure you mark the blade with a pen so you don't end up sanding too much up the blade.

Yes... sand donw the blade you must :D

I like to use a dremel as it makes the job go a little faster.

But only to add to that, I like to put a small piece of foam in there to keep any debris from getting up in the tube
because it can be a pain to totally clean them so they are free of dust, before inserting a diffuser or blade film ;)
