Yeah I noticed that, It feels even sturdier than it looks, really easily twirled with one hand or swung with both.

I have :) There's actually a covertech wheel on the opposite side of the saber....

I received all the parts in the mail today, so naturally, I'm like a kid at Christmas right now :D

Here's a look at what It's like when all put together, albeit without electronics just yet:...

Thanks guys,

Maybe a powder coating of every second groove on the bottom extension? Either that or I was thinking in place of the coat, some rubber grip strips.

All a work in progress, I'll be...

Hey all,

So It's been quite some time since I posted here last, college, work, and girlfriend commitments as they've been, but I have a brand new project in the works and I thought I'd share it...

Tried another speaker and switch, it would appear the board is most definitely dead, much to my discontent..

Fortunately i have found another board! Now, time to find my wallet..

I already have...

Thanks everyone, the help was appreciated.

Ill start with the multimeter, then perhaps try contacting someone in the know to see what i can do with the board.

The led didnt fry, but the speaker...

I didnt realise i was soliciting, i am still purchasing all the parts from tim and using the store, so i didnt see an issue in mentioning getting someone else to build the saber for me. Though in...

Is there any way i could tell visually that the board is fried? like a brown burn out spot or something?

I dont trust myself to wire it all up again so im thinking of just desoldering all the...

I will try to solder everything together one more time and see if it works. If it doesnt i shall have to comission someone to build me one, id rather pay a small fortune for a high end saber i know...

This post was meant to be full of thankyous and photos of my new saber, unfortunately the ultrasound i was wiring seems to have died on me....:cry:

My setup is 2 Trustfire 3.7V Li Ions, K2 LED,...

Thanks to both of you. Hopefully i can score one before they all go.

So i was thinking about upgrading my current saber and ive come up with the following.

*replace the MR jedi sound board and corbin driver with a Ultrasound 2.5 board. (more specifically the...

Im using the stock MR blade with 6V going to the driver i cant put any more.

There really isnt any flicker of any kind to be seen, its a static solid blue im seeing here.

EDIT: Even with the...

"* Ramp up/down, static shimmer, optional flash on impact and lockup
* Maximum input voltage has been increased to 30V from the previous 12V
* Maximum output voltage has been increased to 25V....

Right then..

When i see a sectional chained weapon all i can think of is someone with no experience swinging it around and axing themself in the face with it. (medieval flails were a good example of this)

I...

Ok heres my problem ive got a Corbin v2 driver installed in my latest saber though it isnt doing what its meant to.

I was led to believe that the led it drives was meant to flicker at all times,...

The 3 section staff/flail setup is bound to cause a laugh or two.

Not very practical, but it does look pretty cool ;)

Nice work.

First of all apologies to all who saw my last post, excessive amounts of alcohol and a long night out dont do much for liguistic/typing skills.

I have finally finished my first mid range saber...

Ah brilliant thanks for the advice, ill get straight on it ;)

Ill post a video of the saber with special thanks within the next few days.

Thanks to everyone who helped out :)

Ah well this is the V2 driver, as far as im aware this one handles more voltage both in and out.

Im still a little concerned about what you said about my MR board not liking the momentary switch...

LDM told me i could use a momentary switch in the video he made for me, so what you just said has totally confused me.

Can i get confirmation by someone in the know on what hasid lafre has said...

After far too much waiting i finally have everything i need to get this saber up and running how i originally wanted it.

I do however have one issue and any help in this matter would be...

Everything was soldered correctly and was heatshrinked.

I turned it on fairly frequently messing around with it, and when it wasnt on it was sitting on a MR saber stand.

I really dont know what...

You generally know you have a rather large problem to deal with when your saber goes into "melt down" (i mean that in a literal sense)

It would appear something went very wrong with the...
