Hello!

Hi!
Thanks for sharing your build!
A good point to give your opinion about the chassis. I was wandreing if it was good stuff...
See your for the next saber ! :D

Hello!
I'm done with the saber and it has been offered!
Here a show video (in french)

Now. I'm working on a classic ESB Graflex :)
Thanks for...
Wow!
Incredible!
Beautiful work!!!
I'm close to the end.
I stuffed the châssis: it was hell! Too many wires, not enough place... As espected. I got an issue with the aux button that seams to trigger anytime and I sectioned the blue...
A simple before/after weathering:

Now, I have to seal/varnish the paint, increase the hilt internal place using a rotating-tool because all this paint prevents the chassis to get in...
Hi!
Here is where I am in the build: I tested my electronic and started to mount the crystal chamber.

I also aligned the saber parts...

I premounted the chassis to check...
Hi, Tom!
Thanks for your encouragements! :)
I know it is challenging. Maybe too much, I would say... I got a lot of issues with 3D printed stuff that is not reliable enough and I have to replace...
... I'm... Not... Dead.
I have more time now and I at last received the graflex clamp to complete the hilt:

Here I now have to machine the hilt to get the internal led visible.
I also...
Hi!
I'm not dead! Just lost in the outer rims...
Ho! And I made a hole! (and some scratchs)

:cool: ;)
Hi!
I'm done with the sound board settings.
I quite slow as I have to look after my newborn who is quite "time consuming" ;) :D
I'm waiting for a new drill (I broke the last one few weeks ago)...
Hello!
I eventually found time to go with wiring my CF8 and all the components for testing.
My wiring diagram was incorrect: power LED chan2 et chan3 were inverted! I placed the anode on the PEx...
Hi!
I love the dark look you gave to this saber. I can feel the Imperial touch!
I love the one with the clamp close to the pommel better.
But don't you think the clamp will mess with the hand...
Haha! I mispelled "braid" :)
Thanks for the correction! I'll go to sleep cleverer :D
CF8 just hacked to make it "single cell" complient. :)
The hard way: too big soldering iron, too short tin-sucker (I don't get the actual word for that copper bread ^_^)... About half an hour to...
Hi!
Here is a new wiring diagram using actual CF8 board.

Nope: I use a triStar for this saber. I previewed to make use of quad (Cree XM-L as suggested in another topic) for another...
Hi! You can find it on the first page of this thread, but I place it there again: (or I don't understand your request ^_^)

I can make a clearer one, if you want, or a parted one with every...
Haha! Thanks for the encouragements, but I'm not that sure of what I'm doing! ;) I have a good experience in wiring but not in such a confined space. As some arose before, it will be a very challenge...
That's true: initially, it's plain grey, but when rubbing it with care (not on my pics ;) ) it ends up very... shiny and realistic :)
Hello!
I tried and painted quickly the chassis prototype using technique depicted by Martin Bayer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrepVM8liF8). It's not perfect and it's not intended to. BTW, I'm...
Hi!
Really interresting! I'm looking to see it fully mounted! :)
Thanks for the message! More photos soon and a lot of cram-fu expected :P
Yes! My prototype hardly entered the ribbed section the first time! I always take some margin for errors and with no paint and no sanding, it was hard to push inside. But don't worry, I'm new to...
Hi, yes, that's true! I initially made my first design with the provided dimensions and was surprised when the parts arrived to see that the ID was wrong. I rework all the chassis with my own...
Yes... I was supposed just to make a Crystal Chamber but I did not managed to stop my hand drawing... The CF8 cannot be left floating in the void, true? And so on... :D
