My first custom lightsaber!

Hello all!

After years of owning sabers from different companies, I decided it was high time to build my own.

The saber runs on a Nano Biscotte V4 with a Tri Cree Red/Green/Amber and a 3.7V 2600 mAh 18650 Li-ion battery. The hilt was made with a mix of MHS v1 and v2 parts. I really like the slimmer feel of MHS v2, so the grip section is a 5in v2 extension with a converter to MHS v1 on either end. This allowed me to use a 28mm bass speaker rather than a 20mm one. I also weathered the hilt using the spray paint weathering technique from TCSS' youtube channel. The paint I used was a hammered brass finish. The current color configurations I have set are a lime green, a golden yellow, and a blood orange.

Awesome job! Its a proud moment to fire your first saber. Its also a rabbit hole moment, because you start seeing other things you want to do with it, or new ideas, or.........then you're in a huge mess. Welcome to the insane asylum!

Thank you so much! And yes, I'm already itching to build another one!

That's a nice looking saber! It's a great feeling when you hear that first boot up sound. Well done.

Congrats. Nice work.
