Thanks Fender.

Thanks Skott.
Using AW 14500s or 18500s (I couldn't jam my 18650s in end to end)

Hi. I'm asking for the advice of more experienced saber builders to work out the wiring for the Obi Wan AFBB I'm building.
I have a CF4.3 and a blue 10W LEDEngin. Running it from 2 Li-ion in a 7.4V...

EDIT
Sorry, I posted out of frustration. Less snark all round would be good, and so I'm taking my own advice.

Yep, before I posted the previous comment.

SWTOR preorders are open, with early access to play via code redemption and game client download to follow.
Still no release date.
I think that early access is likely to begin in october when SWG...

A great job and a really well presented tutorial.
Well done!

I just verniered it.

Conventional current flows from the + (anode) to the - (cathode). This convention dates from the time before the nature of electrons and their role as charge carriers was understood.
In a wire,...

If the red button doesn't impinge on the tactile switch, how will you activate it?
The setup I'm using, that I worked out by playing with the button and by looking at build pix that others have...

I'm using the right angle tactile switches from jaycar (like the ones tim sells, but with a much shorter shaft, and the solder contacts coming out the side instead of off the base) in my gflex, with...

Sorry, that comment was directed to Ronan. I was just saying that although he is looking for a grooved top graflex on ebay, I bought one from there two weeks ago.
So now I have 2 graflex - a plain...

Not powdercoating, but I've got birchwood casey brass black which gives a really nice finish on the test pieces I've done. This weekend I'm going to do the g-flex top, I'll post photos before and...

Dude, too slow. My grooved top 2-cell just arrived yesterday, bought it a fortnight ago. It's gonna be a shoto to go with my 3-cell.

Birchwood casey brass black is better, just sayin.

Sorry for the thread necromancy;
I have a question about the purple colour from the LEDEngin.
Your circuit diagram shows you're driving the Red and Blue dice in series using the 3W driver - am I...

Damn you. ;)
Every time i come up with an idea for my saber, someone goes ahead and posts a completed version.
This looks great.

However the Al shroud has been out of stock for the past couple of months.
*At least every time I've checked since early July*

Another single vote.
I really like the colours in the wood - reminiscent of Tatooine and of Luke's outfit, without being overwhelming - it's a very nice contrast with the saber.

Dammit, I wrote a guide for you to follow. Browser ate it. :sad:
TL;DR version.
Remove endcap, remove 2x phillips head screws. Drill out metal plug on underside of hilt, remove 1x PH screw. Drill...

I know this is a bit of threadomancy, but I thought it could be a useful datapoint:
What you suggest is perfectly feasible IF the soundboard will run on 20 mA.
The six wire buckpucks have a...

That 19 degrees is total beam width - so really 9.5. I think i may try, it's just that being in Australia, it may take a while for the lens to arrive.

Hi. I've searched the forums but haven't found any discussion on this:
Instead of the standard clear LED lens has anyone considered using a frosted lens like this carclo in order to get a "fuller"...
