So it's been a while since I've visited the awesome (and costly) hobby of saber building, but I thought I'd dive back into it now that I'm done with school and have gotten past the adult life's...

Good to know, thank you for the confirmation!
I have an idea about how I could make the set up a tad brighter:
Instead of wiring both green LEDs to the board, I've been thinking about wiring just...

Ok, thanks for the tip! I've updated my diagram adding a 1N4001 diode like the manual/you suggest.

Another big concern I had was using a LedEngin in this build, as I've read some mixed reviews...

Awesome job, I'm really diggin the weathered look! Looks like you got some other projects in the background, too. Can't wait to see those!

Hey everyone! I've been away from the saber building gig for years now, but I'm looking to fix that now!

After months of reading threads, I've decided to work with the Nano Biscotte V3 because...

Nice work, I think you're gonna have one satisfied customer. Also, nice idea using a mirror to take the first picture

Most excellent sir!

haha thanks!

Whoa. Looks pretty organic indeed! Nice work. Sure wish we could get a blade picture in there too!

Something like that yeah. The silicone switch can be peeled off easily but soldering a switch on there isn't as gratifying as it sounds. I tried it several times with my first build but it never...

I had some materials left over from my last build, including an economy board and ledengin LED emitter that I thought i destroyed from my Hero build by screwing in the blade holder with the lens...

I got mine when I was face palming myself trying to come up with a name to go by in this forum. Irony really :cool:

Big fan of your work, jay-gon. I like the idea of the recharge port and removable battery pack, though for future reference I might just go with the recharge port only. I'm also digging the shroud...

Nice work. The shroud work is nothing short of brilliant and the chassis assembly with the speaker is pretty cleaver. Might jot down the idea for a future build of mine :cool:

Interesting stuff. Definitely paying attention to this thread

Congrats my friend! These are debatably my favorite games ever. These are what inspired me to become a star wars fan and later on create a lightsaber. Plus the dialogue just gives you something to...

Yeah I've found that using sleeve material delivers an awesome result. It's easy to cut with a rotary tool (make sure you have plenty of cutting blades) and however much you use for one build, the...

Sorry guys. I had a little more faith in the attachment part of the thread posting. Just got an photo bucket account in the last five minutes and well here are my pictures. Sorry again for the...

After about 2 months of its completion, I was having so much fun with my first ever built lightsaber that I almost completely forgot to post all about it. Silly me :roll:

So here we are:
HERO...

.........whoa.....

thats.

TIGHT!

nice. im liking the color combo here

Nice job nice design. Can't wait for the pain job to be finished!

Really nice work. You've done Allusis some justice I say. *salutes*

nicely done. i tip my hat to you good sir

Wow that looks incredible! i really like the weathering and how well the illuminated switch looks on the pommel. very nice
