I'm blown away....

OK...so if you've seen GotG and you saw it with your girlfriend, wife, kids, or pretty much anyone with a soul, then you/they loved dancing Groot at the end. Then your __________(insert name of...

I'm going to build one.... this thread has incepted the idea. I've got 2 more projects lined up then its a LED blade. I haven't seen a really bright one in Red...maybe ill give it a shot.

It will be WAY more satisfying if you build your own. You can use the MHS builder and get it made the way you want and have everything prewired so all you have to do it plug/screw the pieces...

So at 3.4V running 45mA/LED, will this reduce the lifespan of the LED?

I know that LED's are supposed to have a fairly long life and most of the time, the sabers are turned on for short periods...

I saw some sabers at Comic Con where the guy and used it or something similar to it as a casing for the hilt. It was molded around a body and decorated to look like a dark wood or bone but with some...

Would this still be a factor if you decided to sand or "drill" the tops of the LEDs? Some of the logs and journals I have read involve this technique to help better diffuse or direct more light.

In case no one told you today...you da man!

Thanks for the help.

Stop with the logic!! :)

Where is the best place to get the SMD resistors? Newark?

To confirm,
So just bridge the FoC pads (green square in the manual) and wire the big ceramic one up inline....which I don't think it will fit. "it's gonna be close..."

or

the SMD on the...

Ever read so much you get your self even more confused than when you first started?

I'm working on a Graflex with a PCv3 and a RB/RB/Wh Tri-Rebel of a 14500 2 pack. I have been reading through...

The "Candy Whine" color....looks just like the color in the MHS builder red. Almost like a translucent red. It goes great with black!

That's not what the disclaimer said. Some of them are pretty neat and if you didn't want to and don't have a dremmel or the patience to grind away then they are pretty reasonably priced. That being...

Nice looking Saber.

It's funny, I had never heard of Darkside Engineering until I saw this thread. I made a blade plug and I wanted it to look something like the inside of the Vader MPP but I...

A pre wired AV switch http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/MWS-Short-Momentary-16mm-AV-Switch-Black-P912.aspx with a red ring and a pre wired Deep Red LED...

I'm good there ;).

I just need to find someone who's can machnr some steep for me.

Everything is the candy wine and the black chrome. I am not a photographer but the pictures don't do it justice. I'm hooked. Good news is because I built the GFs first, I'm pretty much Carte...

Meh....I ordered a Yoda chassis. Hopefully that will provide a lot of insight to basic chassis design.

The way I did this one was to run the wires through the switch hole, place the nut on the...

Its like being a teenager. Sometimes you gotta learn for yourself ;)

Any ideas on the switches lol

All done with the first saber build. It was for my girlfriend for ComicCon and think she thought this was me going through a "wanna build something" phase and she mostly let me work on it with out...

Well, the problem is solved. A new card and a new speaker and it fires right up. More to come with pics on a new thread soon.
The problematic card will be sent to look this weekend and I'll post...

I had this dream.....of a wall mount that looked like the throne from Game of Thrones. But it was made of lightsabers. i took a quick inventory of my MR's....... I'm going to be around for a...

Erv has that forum listed as the customer support on his website:) It never hurts to get as much advice as you can. Did you follow my other post over there too lol :):) The new board will be here...

I had acquired a 29mm speaker to test and nothing from it. I tried to measure the impedance and when I found out what the voltage from the NB was on the speaker pads I tried running that voltage to...

That is good to know then. It's about a half second to activate so it appears to be working fine any ideas on the speaker? when i tried to measure the voltage from the speaker pads on the...
