Finished! Sorry I took so long to upload this, It was done many months ago...
...

Here's the second finger groove machined in, with fresh knurling for great battle grip.
...

Here's the Pommel!

First machining. Pommel #1 This one was turned to scrap because I made the outside diameter of the threads the size of the internal diameter of my hilt. In other words, Threads...

I used inventor for the blueprints. It makes them quite nicely, places 3d views easily, I can write all the details I want and dimensioning is a snap.

I thought I could sense you were...

Here's some more pictures of work done on the bushiness end of my saber.

First drilled and Tapped holes in the hilt and emitter.
...

Here's some early machining shots

Machined to outside diameter. (btw i used aluminum for everything)

@ FenixFire Yep I'm a machnist.(only level 2; no jobs available right now:( ) But self taught inventor user, I got it for a few years from school. Since I'm self taught I only messed around with what...

Haha, yep you are right Fenix.

I tried looking at my model just now it perspective. Nope, nope. I can't look at it like that, it hurts. haha. I hope these pictures will satisfy!

Here is some outdated CAD pictures. There is a second finger groove added near the emitter, the finger groove near the pommel is moved right close to the chamfered edge there, a bottom aux switch...

Hey Guys! I thought It was about Time I posted about the Saber I've built! I'm gonna post a bunch of build pictures, Hopefully you guys like it!

First here's the original blueprints I made:...

Sweet Emitter Man! More machining details plz!

Sorry for late reply, You had the answer though! It was a low battery. Swapped another one in and no issues.

Just because you talked about it I'll reference the post with my LED resistor...

After playing around a bit I found out that is wasn't the sound profiles, but the colors. What?! How does the color make this glitch happen? 3 of the 7 colors on my soundcard make this giltch happen.

Hey guys, I'm not sure what's going on here with my saber. For context my soundboard (Prizim) is pretty well darn near center in my hilt. So that makes it tough to tune for swing sensitivity. But I...

I had already contacted him, but nothing yet

Umm I don't think I can contact zook, He hasn't been on since June...

I ran into a hitch as I was testing things. Why does the Prizim Manual show the resistors on the negative side of the LED and for accent LED's to put the resistors on the Positive? (This is also...

Haha thanks for the encouragement and help guys.

I like this concept. It would be sweet making it all out of aluminium but PVC might be easier for you. Even as a machinist some of that would be tricky...

"magic blue smoke" I must be a genie then.
Btw if you look at the chip that is closest to where the speakers connect, that is the chip. It has two tiny dimples on it from me trying to use it twice...

I had my wires connected properly, but I had my battery reversed in the holder. So it's like I put the negative on positive and so on.

I'll pm zook tonight when I'm home.

So I wanting to do a test of my Prizim board before soldering but I put my negative to my positive for my battery...Smoke and disapointment ensued. Even with a short time frame is it screwed? If so...

A quick check.
I found a nice Amber accent LED
2.2V
10mA

So it needs
150 ohms
0.015W
Correct?

Okay thanks.

Another thing. What kind of LED's do you guys use for accents? Specifically please if you could. I want to stick an orange accent near the pommel for a jet engine look.

Okay guys think I understand now. Tell me if I'm right.

I'll copy LED stats so you guys don't have to look back.

Green Cree Part# XPEBGR-L1-0000-00F01
