^^seconded :D
so i dunno about you guys, but the foam around those blades diffuses incredibly in those videos, of course, thats probably only with the mako style blades :p
but i definitely wanna make one someday
so i know this post is old, but i had an idea that may make etching a tad bit easier. Same method and all, just instead of freehand painting the resist on, what about making a design on some colored...
I know this was posted close a liitttle more than a year ago, but its a good bit of information, I had been looking for stormtrooper or clone armor bracers and glove backs for part of my jedi's armor...
I actually think this should be put on that definitions list, I had them confused as well if you remember :p
so i just received my parts for my first saber, and i dont know who else has used blade holder 12, but whoever has, (and if you got a blade retention screw in the "top" of the holder) does the blade...
I agree with nova, but I think as long as it's done like neo's saber it would work out great. I also think if you were to make the wood poke through an overlay (such as to engrave the cutout design...
Exactly DJ lol, now to see one with petrified wood
I was just basically asking what's the smallest you've seen, but that pretty much answers that :)
Think there's a way to get a blade
that small that you know of?
I tried deciphering that, but no luck. Regardless of that, both methods of saving work fine, to each his/her own. Also the search box is your friend, I agree with looking for an answer to questions,...
I may be new to the whole saber building scene--but i see no reason why it wouldnt work. wood wouldn't :p be the best heatsink at all, but since it's not completely wood it shouldn't be too bad....
welcome to the TCSS forums, and like sunrider said, we love pictures :p
here's a saber to check out to help inspire you haha the CF4 10W decked out saber by Mad Hatter
yeah i figured as much
recently i undertook the challenge of converting a .45 scale ep V vader saber to hold a blade and led--only thing is, i didnt realize how difficult wiring a simple saber is...
That was a very helpful post Jay-gon :D
I divided this saber into 3 phases, and thats actually the 2nd phase of the build (w/o choke, w/choke, and i'm going to try the first version i posted). and...
yeah i was noticing that, so its royal blue thats the dimmest and green and white that are the brightest right?
well thats good :D
man ive got so many ideas running through my head right now--especially to do with the main led and the blade--since ive never seen any of these leds in person its hard to...
Oh yeah I forgot the fluted section might have a smaller ID like the ribbed ext, I'll check that
and this is just basically a prototype build just to get it built and see/learn how to do it so I'm...
well ive got a very basic saber design to start off with -- cut it down quite a bit to just get my foot in the door--
-36" corbin battle blade 1" OD
-blade holder 12 powder-coated black if...
the diffusers give it a nice core and big hilt flare, but an uneven glow and vice versa
but im liking the flare of the diffusers, i cant wait to build mine
ah ok, i knew they wouldnt be needed as locking pins but i just want to stay as close the design as possible and i did a bunch more reading and have been making sheets of notes. hopefully i dont have...
all i have to say is thanks LDM for this very straightforward tutorial, still reading though since i jumped headfirst and made a design first
but it definitely laid the ground rules
Well the thing is, and you're all helping a lot, but. I just got excited because I got my design finished, so I need to read up more on the dimensions, more when I get back home (an MHS builder on...
Ohh haha of course, i forgot to mention those, I was thinking K2, at least if K2 is the best royal blue led here, and really i dont know i guess i have some more homework to do and read up on...
So it's been about a year since i've discovered tcss and i've finally settled on a design and color of the blade and more or less what i want to tweak about it.
but i need some help, ive searched...
