Yus! You have no idea how happy this makes me! I have all those things already. I’ll take pictures to show for my build log!

Wooaaahh. I feel honored! Thanks so much!

Sorry for being MIA. Work had a hold of me for a while. Greenie, that is exactly what I was thinking. Well done! I just need to find a way to bore out...

Here are some quick rough sketches:

Thanks Darth Chasm and Greenie,

I was thinking it was done something like that Greenje, but I’m not sure how to create a recessed area inside the shroud material to seat the sliding tab.

Darth...

Hey Darth Chasm,

Thanks for the help. Here is all I have on me right now. I can try to gather sketches later if necessary.

Hey everyone,

I’m moving along in my build and am ready to create the crystal chamber “reveal” section. I’m basically cutting a window into a section of the hilt so you can see the crystal...

Hey @Greenie,

I’m looking to make some sort of contraption to slide open/closed to reveal my crystal chamber. Would you be willing to share how you made that sliding cover for your activation...

Thanks everyone.

I tried screwing in the port, but it was such a tight fit and I had to torque so hard I ended up shearing some of the black coating next to the legs. Should I replace the port, or...

Thanks warlock,

I don’t know what kind of method I’m supposed to use to fasten the recharge port. For now, the hole is too small to put it through. The speaker holder has holes, but no threading...

Hi everyone.

I recently got a GOTH-3D chassis system. They are great so far! How do I install my switchcraft recharge port into the recharge port section (piece: GCM110-02-V2 - Recharge Port...

Well.... yet another beauty to make me jealous. Just wow. Simply amazing! And you can swap it with your III, just insane.

Hahah. As always. Time and patience lol.

Ah... bummer. I don’t have a lathe. Maybe I can try to sand a 1.25” tube? Yours definitely looks great! Thanks for sharing!

Just watched the video. Gorgeous!
What did you use for the aluminum core? I can only find 1”, and 7/8” tubing at stores. How do you get a good fit and how do you secure it to the saber body?

Ok cool! I’ll give that a try. Thanks!!

This is a good idea too. Thanks. I just gotta get up to speed with how to do that. What software do you use?

Thanks Greenie! Is there a good way to hollow it out? i.e. mill it out do that the switches can be housed by the box? I don’t have an actual mill...

Hey everyone,

I posted this on a couple other forums, but wanted to as here as well!

Does anyone know how to make a custom control box? I’ve been searching and can’t find how (especially...

Genius! I thought I saw a bit of a “click” when you put the core back in the video.

Haha. Good to know you use the force to build it! Did you do any sort of chassis inside the core to support the board and wiring in an isolated way from the metal core? Is it fair to assume you had...

Definitely a gold standard for saber design and core work. How did you attach all the greeblies and tubes? Was it glue? Welding?

Hey everyone,

I’m still in the planning stages of my first saber with sound build. I’m trying to finalize my electronics, but am still confused. I would like an RGB saber and am leaning towards...

Would any of these be acceptable?

Hope I’m allowed to post that. Apologies if not.

Thanks everyone! Is there something special needed for the switch? I saw somewhere about some voltage or amp rating on a switch...
