I'm kinda going for a Starkiller type saber. (With a crystal chamber, of course. ;) )Not exact, but pretty close. Here are the parts I need to make this possible. (Not including tools, paint, or tape. Oh yeah, no boards or drivers will be used for this saber.)


10' wire, 3' heatshrink
Thermal tape pad
Red Accent LED 2 (x2)
82 ohm 1/4 watt resistor (for the accent LEDs)
1-3/8 metal sink plug
1-1/2" by 1' sink tube
1-1/4" by 1' sink tube
1" Sch. 40 PVC
Silver Covertec button
8-32 by 3/8" (Covertec) socket head screw (will this work for a retention screw?)
Covertec Clip
Red thumb screw (8-32 thread)
MPS insert #6 (x2; For crystal chamber)
Brass button head screws (x8; 8-32 thread; will hold my grips in place)
P4 Kit (Red LED, 4AA pack)
3x NiMH AAs with one dummy cell (totaling 3.6 volts)
1" thick walled trans-white blade and tip (Not cut, I like longer blade; about 38 in. will be exposed)
1 ohm 2 watt resistor (which will overdrive my P4 by about half an ohm)
Custom Heatsink & 4-40 nylon screws
Sheet steel for the grips
1-1/4" to 1-1/2" adapter

So, what do y'all think?

I don't see a bladeholder...

I'm using the PVC as a bladeholder, like Jay-Gon's thread.
