i thought adding useful info to an old thread was encouraged.
hah :) its the only avatar-like photo on my hard drive xD
sorry, i read the date of his post wrong. what was the other thread?
no, the negative to 3 and the positive to 2.
those are really nice :) is the shroud just a larger piece of sinktube? what sizes did you use ? :D
My rebuttal:
I realize that even if Tim did stock the pc-u it wouldn't show up under the criteria pc-u, but just for the sake of argument.....
thats a great design, reminiscent of the jedi adventurer robes worn by starkiller in the force unleashed :D a cyan blade would compliment this perfectly, as well as an illuminated switch. i would put...
tim doesn't sell a programmable sound card. besides, i linked to a forum where people show how they added sound to their props. i would have PMed it to reno, but the forums rules restrict that...
heres a forum tutorial on how to add proton pack sounds to your project for $50.
I'm making a portal themed lightsaber, and i will need a custom blade holder, a thick piece of poly C with about a 1.25" OD, i need to make my own switch, my own tri rebel, i'm gonna try to powder...
I have 3 designs on at the moment, one that is a themed lightsaber that needs alot of custom work, and i have the design/ prototype for the spring loaded wrist lightsaber, assassins creed style :D...
ok, thanks :)

This is what i got using your calculator. is this correct?
I'm wanting to power a 5w ledengin blue at 1500 Ma with 6V.
I want to drive it with a simple resistor and i came up with a 1 ohm 3 watt resistor.
this does not sound right to me, so if anyone could...
I wouldn't go above 1.5A personally, and using thermal compound is always a good idea :)
That's a beautiful saber. i love how you improvised to make this more than a simple MHS :D.
I reminds me of the Portal gun from the portal series :)
This really has inspired me.
keep up the good...
what happened to the last LED? did it overheat with the soldering iron or did the soldering pads come off?
I only have 1 piece on hand at the moment, as the rest were gifts for friends.
I'll see if i can get them to send me a photo, or if i can get them to bring them to our next get-together and get a...
Hi guys
looking forward to sharing some builds i'll be doing in the near future.
I've made luxeon sabers before for friends as gifts, and i've converted most of my MR FX collection using the...
I don't mind, just sayin, i'm really interested in the shorter blade and how that would work, not so much the rest of the build :)
Thanks for the help, but my main enquiry was about the proper blade length and what LED would best fit it. I'm not building a hilt, the other info was side notes i thought i'd add.
hey guys :)
I'm making a wrist mounted retracting lightsaber (see assassins creed) with either a 5 or 8 inch blade. since it is so short would a 1W Red luxeon suffice or would i be able to mount the...
