Happened across the "Stuck Threads" sticky literally minutes after posting this... Anyways, after freezing the parts spraying the inside of the connection with WD-40, we managed to get them apart...

A friend of mine finally got the nice new powder coated parts for his first saber yesterday. As soon as he took the parts out of the box and assembled the hilt. However when I went over to his...

Ok, just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me! haha

Is anyone else who is part of the FX Sabers Forum having trouble accessing the site? I'm supposed to be sending my saber to MH for repairs, however his mailing address is in my messages there, which...

Putting the speaker face down and pushing the holder down on top of it worked perfectly. A nice simple method I over looked. haha Thanks! Now, just playing the waiting game for the hardware store...

Hmm, mine doesn't just simply "click in." Might have to try sanding the inside of the holder a little bit and see if that helps.

I'm currently rebuilding the chassis for my saber, including an actual speaker holder rather than glued into place in the PVC. But how do most people adhere the speaker to the holder though? I used...

So update: Re-solder the negative pad, hooked everything back up and pulled the kill key. Got the boot up sound, turned it on, ignition and hum sound go fine, but still as soon as a swing (and clash...

Yes it is, but pretty sure I just discovered the problem. I took the chassis out and looked over the wiring. Close inspection of the speaker wires showed that the negative wire was frayed right at...

So today my new 1050mah 14650 battery arrived and I hooked it right up. Booted up fine, turned on fine, but after a few swings, the sound suddenly cuts out... The saber will continue to turn on and...

I have no plans this year yet... But last year, May 4th was the day I graduated college and I participated by wearing my first MHS Saber underneath my Graduation Robe. haha.

Simple yet awesome looking design, gotta love those! Those little Graflex grooves really add a nice touch. Any video of it in action?

Man, I WISH my saber had a 2 hour run time. My set up is is a PC 2.0, Tri-Cree BBW run at 1.2a, with a 14500 7.4v 800mah battery pack. I actually timed it out once, total runtime off of fresh,...

Hey there, quick question for ya. Does the Black Chrome powder coating look more black or "gunmetal" in person. I've seen pictures of it looking a little bit of both. I have a friend who I will be...

I have a friend who wants me to help him build his first saber. The color scheme he was hoping for was Gunmetal and Brass coloring, the main hilt parts being gunmetal, and the shrouding in Brass. I...

For my first saber, I used a piece of 1.25 inch pvc sink tube. I sanded it down so that it fit inside the main body parts (doesn't fit inside he ribbed section though) and carved it with a dremel...

Oh yea, I completely forgot about the MWS Puck. That'll help keep things simple. Thanks!

Sorry for the Double post, wanted to bump this to get the question answered as my friend wants to order the parts soon. For the set up listed in the above post, would i need a 4-wire or 6-wire...

Hello all! Looking for a little input here. A friend of mine has asked me to help him build a saber, and here is a list of the electronics going into it.

Tri-Rebel A/A/W LED –
Latching switch...

Just wanting some clarification. Does the new resistor in the shop (here) http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/25mA-DynaOhm-Variable-Resistor--P847.aspx mean that all you have to is wire it to say a...

I have a saber hilt from Creative Force as well! It has the same emitter as yours actually, but the rest is different. Can't say I've ever seen anyone else who had one. My Dad got me mine when I...

I have two equal favorites. First is Madcow's Korriban font, which is the main font I use for my saber. It's got a really nice aggressive hum, that in my opinion could be either sithy or jedi. The...

Just a little update with an upgrade I did. I upgraded the main LED from the P4 Blue to a Tri-Cree BBW with the 2 Blues wired in series, (possibly wiring up the white later for FOC, havent decided...

Awesome hilts like this one make me want to start on my next one sooner... haha great job!

Is it bad that after reading the title of this thread, I immediately started thinking of ways to change the song Thrift Shop by Macklemore to have Star Wars references? haha
