I use Autodesk Fusion 360. Its a decent 3D modeling software for free. I believe its what Darth Chasm uses as well.
Raktus, for my current build I'm looking at using 3D printing to make my control box. I'm currently modeling it on the computer. When its done I'll have someone with aluminum 3D printing abilities...
Looks great Jediseth!
Thanks Jediseth. I had forgotten Rob made that video about resistors. I'll go watch it again.
Okay, time to check the wiring diagram. Any takers? Thank you to FJK for the tutuorial on sizing resistors...
I know I keep changing the design but here are pics of the latest and greatest! Best part though is I'm actually starting to cut parts for this one so I'm feeling pretty good. I'm going with a...
Another update. Hoping to start making parts for the hilt later this week. The images aren't complete but give an idea of the direction I'm finally heading down. The intent is to make an internal...
So its been about a year and not a whole lot of progress has been made. Revised the design a few times and finally settled on a look that I'm comfortable with making. Got the initial PVC pieces cut...
Love #7. Very nice take on Vader's saber.
One idea you could try is take off just enough material beneath the grips so that they have something to sit-up against. This should keep them moving around and still use the the standard adhesive...
I'm relatively new still to the saber scene, but you could probably make those claws or prongs (whatever they're called) out of some square aluminum barstock. Or if you are concerned about cost, you...
Simple yet elegant! Very nice build.
Looks great! Definitely an inspiration. I also love the angled sound card.
Its been a few months since posting last. Thought that I would share an update as I continue to work out design concept. See image below.

Shown on top in the image is a basic concept for...
I am also working on a PVC build as well. I bought the 20mm speaker recently and it fits inside 1" PVC. Without a speaker mount option though it will be loose. I'm thinking of getting some 3/4" PVC...
Hey, I live in Layton too, right on the border with Kaysville.
I realize that this thread is a few years old. Same question though, any active TCSS members out there?
Looks awesome!
Okay. Thanks for that response as well. I appreciate it.
Thanks Miraluka. I appreciate your response on the threads. Do you know if the threads can be cut right into the PVC or does a threaded insert of some kind need to be used? The reason I ask is I've...
bigkevin61,
What size threads did you use to put your saber together? I'm trying to wrap up at least the hilt of a PVC build that I am working on right now for the Episode IIV premiere here in a...
Love this design! Is the red thumb-screw for securing your LED heatsink in place? What thread-size did you tap your holes? Reason I ask is because I'm currently working on a PVC saber and want to...
Well, I've made little progress since last post. I've had to put the "Equinox" build on hold. I have made progress with a PVC saber that I am designating "Heritage". See attached concept image and...
RobotCamel, I sent you a private message regarding the rubber. Once again, love this design.
