Hey FJK,

I had considered that, but if I was to do that for 4 lightsabers, the mrs. would go all Palpatine on me! Those boards are definitely nice and when my girls get old enough to build their...

Ahh, I think I see now. Instead of the standard current, we push closer to max, ie 500-700ma? Is it safer to do a midrange or can I just push to the max? More current brighter blade. Thanks for the...

Got it, resistors still needed. Ohms law will take care of the values on that. Did you use inline resistors(spliced to the wire)? I was trying to fit everything on an etched board to fit in a...

Great! The xml was exactly what I was looking for. Correct me if I'm wrong, but did you run NO resistors at all? Just the pot/fet for rgb? Optics? I'm assuming because of the footprint, you just used...

Oh wow hey!

Great job here Obi1! I saw this thread and was transfixed by it. I JUST finished my first pvc saber for a friends daughter and wanted to integrate your schematic in my 2 daughters...

Any updates here?

Yeah but they always give you a new one.......then kill them. :p

Those letters took me 4 days! Of course it was "cut a letter......get engrossed in an episode of GoT......cut another letter.....Ooh somebody's gonna die....cut another letter. " You get the idea XD....

Pics are up in the gallery section!

Thanks! Yeah it was a water transfer method. Didn't quite work how I expected but worked nonetheless.

First one done for friends daughter. Be kind:rolleyes:

I had considered that it may not. I was trying to get more runtime. I had planned on filing out the interior a bit to get it to fit as the outer shroud I'm planning will provide a little extra...

Thanks for all the help and input everybody! Order is placed and build is commencing! I'm excited to finally build one for myself and cant wait to share with ya'll!

Okay so no dynaohm. The 1000ma pucks are oos so unless I drop the Cree for a rebel I'll have to use a resistor. I was looking at the trans white blade. I figured it would look the best bare bones and...

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I'll go with the red Amber cree. I saw the 4AA battery holder that should fit without too much headache. Overkill? As for the resistor, is the dynaohm a good option...

Hello all,

I'm looking to build a basic stunt saber. Light only, basic bare bones wiring. This will be for a 12yr old daughter of a friend. Her birthday is the 31st and we are doing a scavenger...
