Yes... there are only a few small differences (such as a small block instead of a "bunny ear" clip at the top). Overall I think it's the best looking hilt in the game. My main Jedi (among other...

Okay. I've sent them a request via the messaging system.

I'm actually trying to replicate a Derelict saber (the in-game SWTOR one rather than Slothfurnace's original), so images/diagrams...

You know... somewhere in the back of my mind I think I knew that the Custom Saber Shop actually did custom work... and yet somehow in the front of my mind I thought they just sold parts for...

Hey, all.

I'm contemplating putting together a saber using mostly MHS parts, but I'll need at least one part that has to be custom-built (or modified from existing parts) and I'm hoping to ask...

Thanks for all the tips. I'll try some of them out and see if I can find the one that works the best. Or maybe a combination of approaches. I like the idea of adding a light film or filter... I...

Darn... I'm sorry I missed out on them, then. Is it permitted to ask about other sources for colored polycarbonate tubes if they're not available from here? I don't want to break etiquette.

I...

Hi there,
I've been working on building a "silver" colored lightsaber (for a friend who is a fan of the EU) and I've found that just using a white light is pretty ineffectual. The saber works...

Okay. I'll give it a try. Now I just need to wait for my parts to be delivered.

Thanks again for the assistance.

Okay. Yes, I had planned on using a new switch, though I thought I would need to put it in the same place as the old switch. Does it matter which "off" wire? One is labeled "OFF" and the other is...

That's where the original switch is located, though... Would a new switch not work if I placed it in the same place as the old?

The two "off" wires are connected to a switch in the (original) LED...

Okay... easily fixed. Here's the new diagram, with enhanced specificity:

4772

Okay... I clearly goofed. The collector is the leftmost tine of the transistor, the base is the center tine, and the emitter is on the right, is that correct?

That second diagram is a bit...

Got it. Do I need to add in a ground wire anyplace or is the ground wire from the momentary switch fine?

Here's a diagram I found on another board. It's the Mace Windu Force Action. I've added...

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

Now if I could just find a lightsaber that melts snow without damaging the sidewalk, I'd be all set. :-)

Okay, great.

And just because I don't yet trust my electronics skills... I see a transistor on eBay listed as "TIP42C TRANSISTOR pnp TO220 PKG 100V - 6A"... would that one work?

Also... the...

Okay, P4. Got it.

The same transistor as for the cheap board? Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the Force Action that shows where to add the transistor?

You'll have to excuse my...

Okay, thanks. I'll keep an eye out for a cheap new one, but I'll use the Force Action that I have for now. :-)

Can someone suggest the best white LED to use with the Force Action board? Assuming...

Is there a specific reason not to use them? I ask because I have a loose Force Action board already and want to hook it up to a more powerful LED. Should I go get a cheap board and not bother with...
