To my knowledge, this is the FIRST Nerf blade for a lightsaber. I know I can't be the only one here that plays Nerf.

To the what now?? o_o this looks interesting. What is it exactly?

I hope we see a review in his channel for it than. Any build photos?

It is a standard blade with a nerf blade over it to make it safer. It gives it a distinct look.

PLI's are typically wired directly to the battery or the recharge port battery terminals if you have one.

Makoto/Makoto tsai beat you it using what I believe are pool noodles. The pool noodle foam is much thicker but comes in different colors and the blade (at least his super bright LED string blades that he is famous for) actually light up the foam.

The pool noodle saber, to be blunt... Looks awful. What I'm doing is taking the blade from a foam sword and wrapping it around the blade. Also, while the string blades are bright they can also break and are a pain to make removable.

Will your blade light up the foam? If not, it would be easier to use PVC pipe insulation. It's foam, comes in various inside diameters and is often used for boffers (padded weapons).

The idea was to make it look like a sword with a core of energy in the middle. I don't like the pool noodle saber, it looks rather stupid. With my setup you don't need a high power LED string either.

There is a company in Quebec that is developing a latex translucent blade, the name is Calimacil, but i think they are working on a full sword, not just the blade.

Its less about the safety more about the look.
