Taking the advice of Don Se Wion and Jay-gon Jinn, I've added a resistor to the main LED (closest I could find to 0.1 1/4W was a 0.5 1/4w) and moved the button accent LED to the main positive.

Thanks guys!

Forgetful Jedi > As Jay-gon says they're standard symbols, but it would better help anyone searching the forum to get my finger out and label it up next time :)

Hey all,

IRL hasn't let me post or build in a while, it's good to be back!

The Force Awakens fast approaches and my wife has demanded her new saber finished. The parts are assembled and ready...

It's been really nice to see all the pics of disassembly and reassembly. I'm inspired by all the custom and cram-fu work going on!

Love it. Very slick!

Looks great! Your insides look so neat, that's the area I'm trying to skill up in atm.

Thanks for wrap tips everyone, I now have some nice leather wrap waiting for me to use it.

This is only my second saber and I've been trying out some cram-fu, so the wife can bash it about if she...

I got my CE ordered from Amazon last week. Hopefully see people in the September beta... Now to keep all toes crossed for early release in November!

Oh nicely done, thanks! Last time I checked ebay there wasn't any leather.

And, my pleasure :)

Thanks for all the replies!

I've been checking out the silk and cotton Ito which could work too if I run out of options.

Nice suggestion of the thrift stores. I didn't even think of going that...

Hey all,

While working on designing a new saber the wife said cutey "build me one", so I had to oblige. However I've been having some issues finding the handle wrap I'd like to use.

I've done...

Love it! I've been toying with the idea of building a mochi yari myself. I think I'd go with a head height staff and longer blade, for keeping those pesky Sith out of range :)

How sturdy does it...

Darn show's how long I've been tardy for if I missed this whole thread!

I'm listed in a friends PVP guild on the official site, but I'd love to do some PVE with you guys. Keep us posted on which...

My wife ordered me one of the Jedi bathrobes for xmas. It's fluffy, warm and awesome. My Sunday Clone Wars attire :D
I'm 5'10" and it's the perfect length.

As a newbie myself I have to say reading the forums is a great primer. Play with the MHS builder tool as well. Then if you have specific questions post em up, everyone is awesome at helping out!

Awwwww wish I had the time to enter (and do a good job). I'll have to formulate a plan for the next contest :)

Thanks for all the comments everyone!
I'm starting to collect the parts for the build, but work has been kicking my butt so I've not moved along very far as yet. Next thing on the list, after...

"That's an MHS Gear, not a ribbed extender."
Doh! Thanks for the correction!

Love the video, great work!

Wanted to add some images of the Black Chrome and Sun Gold PC I had done recently for others reference.

Black Chrome on emittor and insets on extender. Sun Gold on ribbed extender and double male...

Hey everyone,

I wanted to post the design for the second saber, with custom sheath, I'm planning to build for some feedback. This one has a name too :)

Need to decide if that black is going to...

Hey all,

Thanks for the replies, just got back from a holiday, hence the slow reply :)

"You don't need a resistor on your main LED with a high end soundboard."
That's what I thought, awesome....

I like the intricacy, so much to draw your eye! I Love the pommel, the clock work is a really nice touch.

Hi there good people!
I was hoping you wouldn't mind having a look over a wiring diagram for the next saber I'm going to build. I'm optimistic everything I want to do is possible and that I'm not...

I may have to go back and do some work on it in the future, it might be a good FX conversion project... If I do go back, micro jst's!

Thumb screw is for simulated blade length adjuster, gotta be...
