Do I need a diffusion film for the dueling blades ultrasabers provides?

Or anything else? Do they provide everything you need in the saber?

We don't discuss their products here.

This forum is attached to a store that sells lightsaber building supplies. We'll be happy to discuss anything carried at The Custom Saber Shop. Otherwise your question is better directed directly to Ultrasabers.

So I just need the blade, the end cap, and the diffusion film right?

Yes. If you're new, you might get a compete Corbin blade (http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Corbin-style-Battle-blade-1-OD--P198.aspx). Otherwise, you can definitely get the parts and do it yourself, it's not very difficult. You will have to glue the tip in place and learn how to roll the film. Personally, I always suggest going for the quad wrap. It diffuses the light better and gives you a better looking blade.

What do you mean by quad wrap?

What do you mean by quad wrap?

The number of times the film wraps inside of the blade. You can get a double or quad wrap. Double is basically 2 layers thick. Quad wrap is basically 4 layers thick. The more wraps, the more diffused the light inside the blade gets, the more even your blade will look.

I have a thin walled blade with double wrap film actually, looks really nice, for one of their sabers though. I totally recommend the double wrap if you want say a pretty blade :P I'll have my own blade eventually though
