Hi all - been building a nice little NBv2 saber for one of my colleagues' daughters. He told me that she's already watched all the movies (at 3 years of age?!?) and has been telling her mom about the characters.

Strong in the force this youngling is...


With that, I present to you: The Bubblegum Princess

Specs:
NBv2
Red + White main blade (both run at 700 mA for a slightly pinkish blade) and Green FoC.
18650 Li-Ion
Small TCSS speaker
PVC and spare blade stock "chassis"
Red candle flicker Pommel LED (yeah you know I love using these...)

Had to get creative with how to mount the pommel LED... (you can see the hidden "chassis retention screw" at the bottom of the pic)

This lightsaber is perfect. I absolutely love the design and the blade colour. Is the recessed piece on the choke the power switch? Because I reeeeeally like that too. This saber is just awesome. It's a design I've wanted to take on before and I've glad you captured it so well.

Check out the choke section in the store. You will find your answer there ;)

Great design, cannibal. Very creative install.

I absolutely love the 2 sabers you have constructed for the young ones. I am in the process of buying parts as they become (slowly) available to build 2 sabers for my kids. I am having trouble deciding on what type of blades to get. These will be for a 4 yr old and a 7 yr old. I was wondering what Blade you used for both of these builds?

Really neat, I was contemplating a pink blade today for someone. What do you mean youre running the LED @ 700ma, how are you doing that?

He is running BOTH the Red and the White LEDs at 700 mA to achieve the Pink color. He's using resistors.

Love this, it looks like a lightsaber from Naboo with the sleek metallic finish.
