xCore: #2 (Green Lantern) aka: Eastern57 x-mas gift

Eastern xmas gift (copy of same proto system above)



I have a couple more variations on the modular sections/parts..

appreciate all feedback...

specifically on things like:

switch mount/bucket
*standalone vs. part of heatsink bucket
*generic enough for all switch types or maybe 2-3 yes?

battery/sound/speaker bucket:
*size constraints? stuffed 2xAA sized batts and a US2.5 in there.. probably some room for wires..not much else? (not sure of CF would fit due to height.. maybe different battery solution?)
*make both speaker only bucket and attach battery/sound board to 'rods'? or other area? and the speaker/battery/sound bucket? or just the former/later? (maybe milling out some grooves in the bucket will help with space a bit?

heatisnk/led bucket:
*right now the led/heatisnk is part of the 'core'.. should it not be? shoudl there be an alternate 'modular' section you can choose as an 'end cap' to the core?..and then you just run wires from core to led, like in any other normal build?.. of course you would have to choose to either lock/secure the core using the speaker mount end 9liek in normal MHS builds using a pommel speaker mount...or an end cap/section that has the OD of the heatisnk..and using that approach to locking/securing the core to the hilt?

Eastern will be giving a review of his as well when he gets some time to play with it.... maybe covering some of the topics above .

Thanks
