Thanks for the info!

I would like my next saber build to be a rough approximation of Luke's ROTJ saber, but don't want everything in the K4 Saber Kit. It doesn't look like any of those components are available...

Thanks guys!!

I built my first saber over the summer and now that I have a few months of playing around with the saber, I am uncovering some design/implementation issues with my build.

THE BUILD SPECIFICS:
MHS...

Check out the Prizm manual:

Page 22 (focmix)
Page 25 and 26 (what the drive values mean)

Double check to make sure the board isn't roughly where you are holding the hilt with your hand.

I had a similar issue and when I took it back apart, he board was roughly where I was holding the...

You will need a resistor for your red AV switch.

I would go 18650 over the AA.

What are going to do for chassis parts?

For heat shrink, I use all diff sizes and just picked up a variety pack...

I have my recharge port in the pommel insert, but unscrewing the pommel is putting stress on the wires.

What do you guys use to lubricate the insert so it spins freely in the pommel?

Thanks!

It does require 2 switches, ideally momentary, but I think some people have used latching.

The final decision really comes down to how much you want a more dynamic setup. Doing so will require...

Read the NB manual. It will literally answer nearly all of your questions (including how to select the appropriate resistors)

Do you want to change blade colors, or will you always keep a red blade?

The reason I ask is because the Prizm will do color changes on the fly and added effects (lock up, blaster, etc). If you...

I know!!!! ;-)

I thought for sure it was okay, but when I realized it wasn't... Well... It was too late. Oh well, live and learn.

Here ya go... Holes are a bit off center, but you get the idea.

I am actually using insert 2 because insert 6 hasn't been available for a while.

BUT... I have drilled it extensively such that...

I have just finished my first ever saber and am super excited.

I have a prize 4 with a bass speaker in a v4 speaker mount.

Currently, I have the kill key in the pommel (style 4 ) such that I...

Thanks!

Would anything be harmed by using the full 1023?

I have installed a Prizm card ( with tai-cree RGB ) and was reviewing the default color profiles ( see below ). The manual indicates that each color channel can accept a value from 0 to 1023, but...

The speaker is bad.

I picked up a 29mm from the local RS and it works perfectly. It doesn't fit and can't be a replacement, but at least I know the TCSS speaker is fried... Which is a bit lame as...

It must be a bad speaker.

I have removed and re-soldered connections on both sides and tested with it in-hilt and out... Absolutely nothing. <sigh>

Thanks!!

I just finished my first ever build with a Prizm 4, tri Cree RBG, a 18650 battery, and the premium speaker.

I unplugged the kill key... And... Nothing. No sound at all.

Lights and such work as...

I am going to hang my head in embarrassment - I wasn't pushing the plug in far enough. ��

Thank you for the help!

I have a Prizm v4, 18650 battery,and acrylic chassis disks.

The manual shows the board with the components on "top" - that is, they are facing away from the battery. However, it seems the SD card...

I have two quick questions:

I have this kill plug with the Switchcraft recharge port:

Are your switches not illuminated?

Regarding the resistor questions, either will work. I put them in the negative legs as that's how the manual showed it.
