hutch009 - Not yet, been busy with commissions and bad health. I want to get my new walking stick saber finished first so it might not be started until November or December. I have all the parts now,...
Thanks, local hardware store doesn't stock them, so I'll have to order some from TCSS.
I am just about to start this build, and have just realised that I don't have any grub screws for blade retention. They seem to be big holes, any idea what size they are?
interesting concept on the twin blade, I like the one before that, but then I am a bit conservative. The axes are also an interesting idea, good for bashing in a close combat situation.
Thanks SA22C. What battery are you using with the neopixels? I have managed to source some 3500mAh 10A continuous drain 18650 batteries. Should this be enough? I don't usually have my sabers on for...
Thanks for this, so it takes a regular tri Cree die base? I can always manufacture a brass heatsink to fit if necessary.
Any other special info on this kit? Planning on using a single 18650 Li-ion...
Hi, after a few years in limbo I am wanting to build the K4 Saber Kit of Obi-Wan Kenobi's saber. I have been trawling the forum for hints, but haven't found what I am looking for. I have read that it...
An absolutely fantastic saber, especially for a first project. Just WOW!
Fantastic as usual Sloth. Great work, and for a weekend build too. I am jealous of your skills.
Congratulations, a very clean and detailed saber. I love it, especially the perforated mesh areas.
Very nice indeed. I am sure your son is over the moon. It makes me think of an ambassador's or senator's saber, small and easily hidden like Darth Sideous' saber.
Hi quick question, will a 12mm illuminated AV switch , rice port, recharge port, and auxiliary switch fit on activation box style 23? I have been searching the forum and can't find any reference to...
Wow super detailed, well done.
Very sleek, I like it. Looking forward to seeing it lit up with a blade.
Sorry Hopper0500, this was 2 years ago and I didn't keep a parts list. Mostly I just wander around the local hardware store fitting bits and pieces together until I think it looks ok. I never...
This is a stunning sabre. I only just started doing etching myself. I think you are right, change the red switch if you can.
Very nice saber. Love the wooden section. What is the idea behind the external cable?
I agree, maybe silver would be nice as the rest of the overlay is brass, but I don't have any silver tubing and I just didn't like the plastic. It made it look tacky. I think it will stay as is now....
Quick update on Adjudicator.
I was having trouble charging the Li-Ion battery and was unsure why this was so, as the circuit seemed to be working properly. I decided to strip the whole thing down...
Thanks Greenie, it is the first thing I have etched in about 20 - 25 years when I used to etch my own PCBs for electronic projects. It didn't turn out as good as I wanted. I would have liked the...
I forgot that the forum only allows 5 pics per post, so I'll try and add the beauty shots here. I originally wanted my saber to be like one from ancient jedi times, like KOTOR. I wanted a clean...
I built Adjudicator back in 2010, my first lightsaber.
13597
It had 6 AAA NimH batteries, an Obi Wan 2010 toy Hasbro lightsaber sound board with clash and swing sensors driven by a 5V regulator....
Hmm, How did you manage to etch it so deep, my P&P starts to peel off after 25 minutes in solution. On brass I barely managed to get a tiny lip in the layers, but it was enough to see the difference...
Beautiful etching. Did you use vinyl or press & peel blue?
