Thanks guys. I painted it yesterday, which kinda highlighted some flaws, but this is just the temporary shroud until I get the aluminum one built.

So, Darth RL got me good since my last post. We moved, had 2 more kids, I got my Master's in Aerospace Engineering, and put my saber on hold. I finally got a bit of time and found some thin wall pvc...
I was actually wondering about this as well. I've seen people plate brass by heating up the base metal and using a brass wire brush wheel, but a quick Google search couldn't confirm that you can do...
Not tobacco smoking, meat smoking. It's a box that holds wood chips to put in your bbq
I can't be the only one who read the title, then your post, and then said: "how is a light side and a starkiller build related to the First Order at all?"
I'd go with 3/4" sch 40 PVC pipe covered in a foam noodle. I've made many a boffer sword and that's my favorite way to go. The PVC is cheap and light, and 3/4" is pretty rigid at saber blade lengths....
Wow! That emitter design is pretty sweet. Love the shine-through slots
That etching looks incredible
That's a great-looking saber!
LCD stands for liquid crystal display because it consists of crystals suspended in a liquid matrix. As a current is provided to the crystals they deform and change their optical properties, becoming...
You can get the tapped hole for the blade retention screw done by the store. Just look for the services section.
Kill keys are not strictly necessary as most sound boards have a sort of low-power...
I wonder if you could use a strain gage at the base of the blade to detect deflection. You'd have to figure out an algorithm that would compare the strain gage output to the accelerometer input,...
I really like that crystal. Where'd you get it?
That is pretty rad. It would be interesting to combine this with impact sensors at intervals along the blade and then do the flash on clash at the point of impact rather than the whole blade
3 cm will definitely be too thick to fit in the 1" blade holders unless the wall thickness is sufficient that you could sand or turn down the end of the blade tube to a little under 1"
That brash mesh looks fantastic. Where'd you get it?
I'm up in the Layton area
Oh, I wasn't saying it couldn't be manufactured in tubes. I just meant that even if the op could afford to buy it, right now they only sell plates and optics, so it'd be a custom request
I'm definitely digging the sleeve there. I say go for it
Incidentally, it's in rather poor taste to discuss a business you're planning on starting on another company's forum, especially when your products will be in direct competition.
Plus they don't seem to sell it in tubes. Just plates and lenses for optics
That Tron hilt is rad!
Transparasteel is only available in a galaxy far far away, so transparent polyc is going to be your best bet. The store sells 1" OD clear tube, but you can get larger diameters that will match the...
It has been some time, and I was planning on entering my saber into this year's competition, but DRL got in the way and I haven't been able to finish yet. Therefore, I decided to post some in process...
