How to construct an LED Blade (or, at least, how I do it)

Uh, how are you going to do that? Have you looked in the Store to see how it comes? It's only a few inches wide:

You'd have to cut it up in pieces and it would look like crap.

The film doesn't work that way, anyway, if you put it "horizontally", the "scratches" that give the effect just line up vertically and it does nothing. I just tried rolling up the end of a piece of film I have and sticking it on the end of a lit saber.

Sorry, but not the brightest idea I've heard regarding blade making. :rolleyes:

That's entirely up to you...it's your blade, put what you want in it.

where can i find a polycarbonate tube like the one in your tutorial? And does tcss blade tips fit the tube? any info would be cool thanks :)

you can find the tube here at tcss. And yes the blade tips fit. Thats what they are made for

darth blaze, you do realize that these forums are attached to a Store, right?

Did you look in there before asking that question? Would it not be logical that the Store has what people need to build lightsabers and blades?

If you'd done more reading here, you'd also realize that.

Judging by his post count, he may not know. Lets go easy on him and point him in the right direction.

Blaze, check out the "Blade Supplies" section under "LED Specific" in the store.
