A new Saber by JamoUp

[JamoUp]

Hello all!

Update on page 3: http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/showthread.php?t=10035&page=3

This is my newest saber. I've been waiting on parts for it, and I did two re-designs so it has taken longer to complete than I had thought. But this is the finished product. (I think, I might add some weathering)

Specs:
Lux III greed
US 2.5
3 accent LEDs
MHS parts
4 AA batteries

Nice saber


So does that red LED blink all the time when the saber is off or is there a way to power down the board too?

[Rhyen Skytracker]

Nice saber. I think some weathering would look great on it.

[ecko]

That looks Sweet.
I have always been drawn to the activation box.

Nice work.

I have a kill switch for it. I will probably switch to a rechargeable battery pack at some point. But right now the red LED just blinks all the time.

That is a good looking hilt. All the pieces came together well.

[Kal El Rah]

Very nice well thought out saber. I like it very much.:-D

[gundamaniac]

Nice combination of MHS parts. I think you have a pretty good eye for design - I think the middle of the saber would have been rather bland had you not added those three accent LEDs. They help break up the smoothness of that hilt section. The design has a pretty good visual balance imo.

[JamoUp]

thank you for the complements guys! It's nice to know that my fiance isn't the only one that likes my designs!

[DJMoonbass]

awesome saber man, im curious though why you used a lux 3 green with 6 AAs thats a big battery pack. you could have gone with a lux 5 since theres enough voltage there.

[JamoUp]

normally I would use 2 trustfires, but with the US2.5 I decided to go with the AA's (heat issues) I used the Lux III because that is what I had on hand. Like all my sabers, the LED has a quick connect, so I could easily change that out. I think currently the store only has blue Lux V's.

[Count Malik]

nice saber! :razz:

It says up there in the first post that he used 4 AA's....did he edit to correct it at 4 AA's?

Nice job on this one, Jamoup! I agree with Gundamaniac, nice combination of parts with perfect placement for those three accent led's!

[JamoUp]

Thank you for the compliment. Yes I did edit. It is 4AA not 6.

[DJMoonbass]

ah well my bad. lol. yeah 4 AA is perfect when using alkaline. still nice saber i really like the sleekness of it and then i agree gundamaniac those LEDs complete it nicely.

[cardcollector]

Those indicator LED's on the side are awesome.:cool:
I'll bet they make nice grips too...

[Crystal Chambers]

Very nice...I'm usually not a fan of bare clean aluminum but this one looks great. Your use of the grip sleeve give me a few new ideas two. Those accent LEDS look awesome. I gotta learn how to do more of them myself..

[Invisas1979]

I like this too it has a mara esk feel to it. I think some weathering would complete this saber nicely.

[$tarkiller]

great looking saber there! I too, think some moderate weathering would look really good on it.

[Caine Drathul]

Very nice...I like the combo of Mara grips and the Qui-Gon emitter.

I am curious to see the weathering you choose.

[JamoUp]

I am curious to see the weathering you choose.

As am I. I have been researching different weathering techniques. I'm still not sure how heavy I want to go.

Thank you all for looking and your positive remarks.

[JamoUp]

[ARKM]

You left out the coolest part. It's that thing that's in the blade holder when the blade is not in it. ;)

Seriously though, cool saber man. I bet you are lovin' that CF goodness.

[Jedi-Loreen]

I think the coolest is the thing what's holding the saber. :p

;)

Cool upgrades, I like it a lot.

Congrats on the CF. I hadn't seen anyone do a red FoC yet.

[JamoUp]

Thanx guys! Edited for shout-outs!

[Obi-Dar Ke-Gnomie]

That looks great! I like the effect of the red flash on clash. Very nice!

That's a saber to be proud of.

[xl97]

nice job..and yes your ARKM butt...err.. balde holder plug 'does' in fact look on that saber.

should post a pic of it in with it lit up.


p.s. awesome stand! who made that for you again? ;)


Thanks

[ARKM]

nice job..and yes your ARKM butt...err.. balde holder plug 'does' in fact look on that saber.

Ouch.

BTW, you left your wallet at my house. I love you.

[jjshumpert]

the red foc is awesome, gonna have to do that on my next project

[xl97]

Ouch.

BTW, you left your wallet at my house. I love you.

lmao...

haha..

it was seriously just a play on words.. ;)

I do like them..and think it was a good use of everyday items for sure.

[cardcollector]

Wow, nice upgrades!

I like the recharge port kill key! did you make that?

[JamoUp]

Thank you, yes I did. It is a cut LED bezel and the plunger off a Bic pen.

[sekrogue1985]

i love it! definitely how just simple and shinny it is.

[Jedi-Loreen]

"shinny"? Funny, it doesn't look like a lower leg, to me. :p

It does look shiny, though. ;)
