Here is my latest PVC saber - this time with Master Replica Sound.
(EDIT: Changed this saber from GREEN to BLUE since wasn't thrilled with how the green looked on this saber.;))
Specs:
Blue Luxeon 3 Watt LED
UltraEdge Blade with 5' of Cellophane wrap
MR Anakin Soundboard
MR speaker
1 Blue "power on" accent LED (salvaged from an Anakin toy saber)
1 Green "crystal pommel" accent 5mm LED
4 x 1.2v AAA rechargeable batteries
Leather cord grip
Emitter accent made from a sink tube cut-out
Black and Silver Hammered finish paint job
I made an LED holder from a bit of blade tubing and assembled the LED with a custom made copper heatsink.
This project was a lot of fun. Thanks again to all who post here for the shared knowledge, enthusiasm, and inspiration!
