A good reminder for those who haven't read rules in a while (like myself). While I am not looking for business or to sell these, I can see how the initial posting may have been interpreted that way....
Thanks!
The blade itself is 1/2 inch in thickness. To cut it, I used a band saw. Acrylic is easier to sand and remove material, but it is more prone to shattering. Poly carb is more forgiving for...
It's all in the title. Dark blade prototype (1 of 3 methods). Some clicky pics, video below if interested. I think I am getting it dialed in.
Of course, helpful feedback appreciated.

I got it from lighthound, 3400mah, 18650. Upon looking at it intently after exchange period, I saw 3.6v instead of 3.7.
D'oh.
I came across a 3.6 volt cell, and wondered if it would work a nano biscotte? How much of a difference will that .1 volt make?
Hello All,
I want to build a curved hilt saber. One of my friends suggested using some of the sink tube in the shop. My questions would be:
How easily does it bend?
What is the best way to...
Cool, thanks all.
Trying to find 3AAA. I am doing a build project with my summer camp kids for next years Jedi themed camp and trying to minimize some of my soldering since I will be helping to build 30+ pvc hilts in...
So, in my attempt to get better at this hobby, I tried some things I hadn't done before. A crystal chamber (blade matching), a shroud and hiding all the wires, making my own saber blade and lots of...
Does anyone know where to get them? I don't see them in store anywhere and would be happy resisting less in my stunt builds.
Or are there any AAA dummy cells?
Thanks!
Hello All,
I have an ultra saber led module that I was using for a saber, 1" in diameter one of my helpers helped me lose the heat sink portion and I was wondering if the tcss new style short heat...
Thanks for the link! I will peruse that section.
I ran jedi camp and it was great. The next thing I want to do next year is to build and wire up lightsabers.
Since using all mhs parts would be really expensive, I was looking into a pvc...
I was about to post something about this same problem. One of the kids at my jedi camp said to me "your saber isn't making sound anymore". I said... ok, odd. I checked all the wiring, rewired it just...
I just have to make sure its clear since the chamber will be inside a r.g.b capable chamber.
So many minerals that have possibilities, its one of those quartz will be the most solid, but something...
What type of crystal are people finding to be the best for crystal chambers?
Quartz is strong and resilient and common
Calcite has some neat optical properties but is a lot more fragile
the...
Awesome. I was searching through the boards and having zero luck finding that. Thanks!
I'm using it with activation box style 14, and I am trying find the size of the port (not the threaded area) much like the holes used in the box 14 hole mounting service
I have the bit for the...
I could find the size for tapping it, and threading it, but I need the installation hole size to accommodate the body of the port.
Trying to figure out what size hole to drill to fit the body of the recharge port. Any thoughts?
I was thinking about trying to mount it in the side of a saber, I initially had it in the back. I think doing the activation box will make things easier. For flush mounting though, do people often...
Flush mounting I think is what I really want, is there a how to or specific parts that I would need to make that work? Spacers or something? I'm still new to the recharge port thing.
Glad that I...
If I am trying to install the recharge port into the saber from the inside, would I need to use a left handed 5/16-32 tap to try to install it from the inside? Or would I be better off drilling the...
pvc with black plastic dip... It looks very nice. I was thinking about trying to use kydex to get that really firm grip on an emitter region.
I figure that if I am going to keep doing this as a hobby it will quickly behoove me to get my own set of bits for the task.
I have the tap for when I thought I was going to tap and drill things...
