The ID is 1" so a hair under 25mm, so a standard 28mm rnd is out of the question. SO we are either going with a 22 or 24mm round speaker (4ohm solution), or a rectangular one instead. The chances of us piggy backing the battery on the board in any solution is zilch, so we will need to piggyy back the speaker on the board (rectangular), or wedge in between it and the battery(round)if we have space. Moving from the 2.1mm rehcarge solution to the setup like with the Kanan will save us some space. Main goal with the new chassis, now that boards are smaller, is to maximize the battery size in the shoto. Ryo and I are setup to have a video conference on Monday to go over a few things. Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm actually pretty new to the hobby, so I hope that you won't mind a few follow-up questions! I'm part of the Korbanth installed run, which I believe is also dependent on Goth (is that Ryo? I'm not familiar with names at this point!) for the chassis. As such, I'm juggling questions between your group and his, and I think that I'm getting my (metaphorical) wires crossed.
- Which chassis are you talking about, in this case? My understanding is that Goth designs different chassis for Korbanth's installs vs what goes up on his site/Shapeways. Is that going to be the case here? Or will they be the same? If different, which are you referring to in your comment? - Totally understand the size limitation of the speakers, and I'm very glad to hear that we'll at least be above 20mm!
- I also agree with and appreciate your goal of increasing the battery size for the shoto hilt!
- This also sounds like there's no chance for this to be a removable battery solution for either hilt. Is that correct? Once the battery within eventually dies, would it be possible to replace it without destroying the chassis? - When you say "Moving from the 2.1mm recharge solution to the setup like with the Kanan," I'm afraid that I lose you. Could you please explain what the Kanan is, and how it differs? Thank you so much! I'm extremely excited to finally have a set of these for myself!
That's a lot of questions and concerns. Some of which I can't answer for you yet, and some of which I think only Korbanth will be able to later on. The chassis, both of them, are still in the design phase. Ryo/Goth's Shapeways DIY chassis and Korbanth's chassis aren't the same, but they are designed by the same guy. Expect to see similarities. On this particular chassis I'm thinking they will both utilize the same speaker/battery combo. Past that and regards to your other questions about it I can't elaborate. As far as your questions about Kanan's and 2.1mm ports, just go ahead and forget I mentioned that. In my attempt to use examples I think I just added more confusion. |

Thanks for the quick reply, and the info that you were able to share. I’ll continue to wait and trust the experts patiently. |

Do we have any updates about an estimated completion/shipment date? Aaron’s busting his hump to make it happen towards the end of this month. Core tubes are currently off with the annodizers and I think Aaron is machining the outer shells. |

Personally I’m happy to wait as long as it takes. Quality takes time so if it takes longer than anticipated, I’m fine with it. Better a longer wait than a subpar rush job.

Absolutely agreed. We're all in this because we value these beautiful hilts being created with exceptional quality. The last thing that we would want from the NerfworXLab folks is a rush job!

Yes , Stand by and I will be sharing. I am finishing up V2 stuff at the same time right now. I know it sounds curt, but I cannot do more then I am at this moment.
I will be posting in both threads momentarily. We are at the end of the tunnel.
I am sorry for taking longer then I would have liked. This year proved to be very difficult, I try my best to answer hundreds of messages from all over the world weekly on top of working and taking care of family.
My wifes father had a stroke recently, and I havent seen much of her, she leaves her job at the hospital and goes to his hospital and stays with him leaving me to full time the kids pretty much alone on top of work. I apologize, life deals out bad cards. I want nothing more then to finish.

So sorry about your father in law. Family always come first and I doubt anyone would ever begrudge that.

Thanks, they are gonna start shipping out here pretty quick. Finishing up some overdue stuff, parts are ready now. It just takes time, which is a commodity we are all in short supply of.

PLEASE DO NOT PANIC IF YOUR TRACKING YOU RECEIVE DOES NOT SHOW MOVEMENT RIGHT AWAY. I know when you say don't panic, the internet panics.
I am here to tell you its a waste of energy, and that you can take comfort in knowing I panic enough at just the thought of disappointing anyone. I mean that with all sincerity, you can ask CROM he will confirm this. ;0
I can only do so much at the same time. NO ONE is going to be, or has ever never ever been left behind.. It might be later then they would like, but never ghosted on.

Oh getting excited! Just got an update from Korbanth.
Apparently I can choose between the Proffieboard v2.2 or CFX. I haven’t been looking too hard at these new boards, and just have the first VV with neopixels whatever that would be.
Which one would you recommend? I was think I’ll learn about the Proffieboard and maybe graduate to a higher end CFX or something next time.

Go with what makes you happy Koonfassa, I remember when there was only a couple boards available in short supply, or a used Hasbro force fx board from a toy to reuse.

I’m so excited! Can someone tell me (or, better yet, show me) where the buttons are on these? Just curious.

Aaron should be getting more boxes out daily starting Monday as he just arrived back from vacation today. V2's going out, Ashokas going out, good times! |
