Awesome E!
O.M.G.. This saber is stunning. The arc switch looks like hell and the design is excellent. Thumbs up eastern, thumbs up....
I officially want one.
That is pretty cool! The arc reactor would work well in other parts of a hilt too. Pommel or blade plug for instance.
Holy Moley! That's about the coolest cross-over saber I've seen. Is it power coated metal?
Great...Freaking...Job!!
Ok, so I have to ask...Exactly how did you achieve the audio jack connection with the emitter assembly? I've had my own ideas about this, ever since I saw the EL blade tutorial section, but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if I don't have to.
I also thought, since I have an audio-style jack on a multi-component cable (somewhere in my collection), that it might be possible to find a jack in this style that has four wires instead of the standard two. A jack of this type could create a modular emitter assembly which would accept FoC from a board that has it without rewiring the diode.
It's a pretty exciting technique. I would choose to hang on to the threaded MHS components, just so my blade doesn't come flying off in a duel, but the concept of modularizing the individual parts of the internal electronics could make interchangeable saber parts even easier to accomplish.
That's dope...great work :)
Thanks guys!
It all powder coated. Gold is just "gold", and the red is "Ruby Red". I TOTALLY forgot to add Sabbath, I think I'll do that, thanks for the idea! ;)
The audio plug is mounted on a 1 1/4" nylon disk that's screwed onto the copper disk/heat sink on a TCSS maul conversion kit. The jack is on two of the same 1 1/4 nylon disks on the receiving side. Outside of that, it's just a simple mount.
The LED is an RGBW, and the plug/jack is stereo, so theoretically it could support FoC. I'd just have to take it apart... Noooooooo! ;)
That is one sweet piece of work, E! I love the way you incorporated the elements & worked in the 1/4" jack. You even got a full on smile from my wife with this one! Good on ya mate!
now that is awesome work!!!
