For the electronics, for now I've gutted an fx saber and replaced the 4.5clv aa cells with an 18650 and changed the original blue LED for a 3w CREELED in green. I will post pictures with updates but so far all ive got made ...
Got some help from a friend and got it off of there. Thanks for the help, I'll post up the finished build in the gallery soon!

i have so far made 2 lightsabers. my personal one, a dark matter red blade with a black and red hilt. and a curved blade katana saber, yellow blade, with a black hilt and white paracord wrap. both have been amazing to do, especially the katana. i loved pushing the limits of the polycarbonate, PVC, and my skills in making lightsabers. this is only the beginning and im hoping to make even cooler sabers in the future.
