The 12 dimples on the emitter look a touch too small, are those going to be enlarged for the final version?

MR version below:

Ok, thanks for the info.  Are there any other differences between this version and the MR it was based on?  I thought it was going to be 100% accurate to the MR, just want to be sure I'm not confused.

Thanks

This saber was based on the MR LE version of the saber.  All measurements were taken from it but some concessions have to be made for a blade though.  The opening of the emitter hole for the blade is larger than the MR one, because of this he made the dimples smaller.  It is the same size as the dimples in the render I posted for everyone to look at though.

I spoke with him yesterday about it when I saw your question and he said he could make them a little larger but IMO if it gets too close to the blade opening it will look funny. 

Is it something you are hung up over?  Would it disappoint you if the dimples were not 100% accurate to the MR version?  These are legit questions because I am not sure I want to make the change and have it look off because the dimple is too close to the blade opening and mess with the overall look of the emitter.

I am pretty sure that is the only difference...well and the very small gap in the box to allow the switches to operate.

The Smaller Holes do not bother me at all, I would have smaller ones any way if it means that the Emitter can use the normal size blades.

May I ask when the next installment would be Due?

Thanks for the info Chewbacca, I really appreciate your taking my question into consideration.  I'm not sure I would be disappointed as I understand now why the slight change was made, but to me it would look better by having the dimples larger, closer to the MR size.  Even if they're not 100% to the MR they should be a little bigger.  When I look at the pic of the machined emitter next to the MR version on my screen to me there's enough of a difference to say it's not quite close enough.  Please don't take that as anything against you or the machinist, it's just my take on it.  You have to understand I am extremely picky when it comes to things like this.  It's one of those things that would bug me but might not phase other people.

I do not know when the next installment will be.  There is still a lot of mill work that has to be done.

I will think about it because I am just afraid it will get too close to the edge of the blade hole and really look funny.  I will talk with him again and see what he says and we will go from there.  He will let me know if it can be done without throwing the look way off.

Thanks Chewbacca,

Ether way you go with the Holes, I would be happy with.
If you go bigger I would be for it as well.

Should we do a vote?

No vote because if it can be done without messing up the look it will be but if it can't then it will not be.

Im usually an accuracy freak but tbh I don't think it bothers me
Can one be done to see how it looks and go from there? I'm sure Thers one or more emitter rejects that can be used

The smaller dimples do not bother me at all. If I hadn't seen the MR pic, I wouldn't have even noticed. To be honest, I actually prefer the look of the smaller ones already, but that's just me.
