    Tri Cree XP2 stunt build

    So I'm rewiring a piece of cosplay history- a saber I originally built back in 2009. I originally wired the thing with a Seoul P4 LED, which is pretty lame by today's standards. I used a regular...

    drilling my own AV switch holes?

    How hard is it to drill an AV switch hole into a hilt segment? Is it just a straight hole of the proper diameter, or is there anything else that needs doing? I'm working on a Katana styled hilt, and...

    I was thinking of using the longest curved choke, which adds about 4.5 inches, and the 5" extension, so the overall length of the hilt will be pretty decent, it's just that extension piece I want to...

    Apologies if this is in the wrong area, for starters.
    Eventually I want to build my own saber, and I'm looking for it to have a pulsing or breathing effect at a rate similar to a human heartbeat.

    Cool, thanks! And I did find out that I can also use Novastar's fonts on the saber I've got currently, with some tweaking that shouldn't be too awfully hard. And if I can get my paws on a crystal...

    What kind of resin did you use for that mask, and how sturdy is the finished piece? I need to do a set of shoulder pieces and your method might be useful.

    I like the look of the hilts- if they were metal I would be tempted to get a hold of them, gut them, and put a TCSS electronics kit in there instead. But cheapo plastic? No way.

    Yeah, good point. For a cheap and dirty halloween costume, maybe. Anything more than that? Forget it. I have lost count of the number of folks I've directed here or to ultrasabers.

    Some of these cheap sabers might be great for kids to play with, but I would not touch them as serious costume pieces, props, or duelling sabers. I've seen too many cheap "lightsaber" like objects.
