Sounds like a plan. :)
I used a little bit of epoxy putty to keep it in place.
Made a video.
Here's my weirdness...in full motion!

Damn it Maverick...now I'm going to HAVE to put up a video of the one I just finished. ;)
ROFL...batteries charged, and all is well. Now I feel dumb. Thanks Malaki. :)
Okay, I tried it in just Luxeon III mode, and the same thing happens that does in Lux III Red/Amber.
I've got a Luxeon III Red.
It's been a couple of days since I've finished building, and I've encountered a bit of a problem.
The saber "woosh" sound infinitely loops, and/or it sounds kinda drained with the sound cutting...
Thanks for selling that sound board to me btw. :)
I meant to get these out the other day...things got crazy.
Anyhow...here are a few pictures. The video wasn't working right for some reason...might try sometime later. The tiny crystal I put in...
Alrighty,
After dozens grueling hours of frustration, and stupid mistakes that have caused me to repurchase a new lense, lense holder, and speaker, I've decided to abort plans of having an accent...
Alright...I've almost got everything hooked up, but have hit a bit of a snag with this damned accent LED. It stays on when I have the saber switched off...only to switch off when I turn the saber on!...
If you're having trouble with the lens, and don't see any way around NOT gluing your lens to the holder. There is a type of CA glue (super glue) you can use on clear plastic. It's called Super-Gold+....
Cool
I figured it would, just didn't want to get everything wired up, and then turn it on only to find out I've fried something...that whole better safe than sorry mindset. Thanks a bunch. :)
Cool so a parallel circuit will work with the ultrasound? It's been a long time since I've done circuit wiring, and from what I remember, you need to put an appropriate resistor to every LED in a...
I'm from Scranton, but I'm going to a party as the Punisher this year...getting my costume wig tomorrow. :)
Alrighty, I've got most of the parts I need to start this putting this puppy together. I have one big question though. How/where do I wire an accent LED with an Ultrasound board? Is it to the...
I honestly like Star Wars blasters more than lightsabers, but as far as toys in real life...the lightsaber is far more satisfying. There's no getting around in your mind that a blaster is a prop. It...
Cool, I can use the puck for another lightsaber I've got drawn up in my head...at least until I can afford the CF 4.0.
I've got a couple of potentially retarded questions...if you have a soundboard, do you still need a buckpuck/resistor? Also, I can't seem to find wiring schematics for an ultrasound 1.1. Can anyone...
Personally, If I were to make white hilt with black accents, I'd make my blade color Red as Red can be. It would give a real serious "I mean business" feel to a clone soldier's lightsaber.
For the...
Anybody want a Lime Green Lighttech EL blade? I'm converting my old Viper Defender to a Luxeon III, and have no use for it anymore. It still works. I'll give it away if you want to pay shipping....
I think Maverick was talking about the little green LED indicator light that's located on the side of the hilt. I might not put it back in, and instead make that a recharge port.
Okay,
I've taken apart my old (and only) lightsaber, a Lighttech Viper Defender. She was fun as an EL while it lasted, but it's way past time to upgrade to something brighter...and with sound! I...
I took her apart today, and had a little funeral in my head for the EL blade. It had actually held up pretty well over the years. I bought the saber for a halloween costume, and it's been beat around...
