Quobi for ScrimpyPIE
« on: March 29, 2015, 11:56:10 AM »
Quobi

This is the final custom from my 2014 build log.  Yeah, 2014.  I had so many runs to take care of that the customs sat and sat.  Not that the 2014 log is cleared or anything, oh no, but the customs are now rectified.  This design wias sent to me by ScrimpyPIE and it was originally set to be a PCv2 saber.  I thought that the design was elegant and fit well with what I like to build, so I accepted.  I modified the design ever so slightly to accommodate his switch requests, but 95% of the finished product is what my man Scrimp wanted.  My favorite feature is the speaker/recharge/RICE module.  I machined it from Delrin and absolutely love how cleanly it works.  You can see it in the video.  Well, without further ado, I present Quobi.



The Particulars:
Quobi hilt
PCv3.5 Sound
CREE RGB LED
Machined Resonance/RICE/Recharge module
Hidden AV Switches with Anodized Greeblie caps
Baked brushed/matte Aluminum and black matte Powder
3.7V 4000 mAh Li-ion
26mm LDM HO speaker
Custom PC'd Pommel insert

I really like this one. Spot on with the drawing, eh?

Pretty close.  Had to make the real-life dimensions look "right".  Hopefully that makes sense?
