most people like to use the obiwan card as it's got better dimensions, but it should be pretty...

I didn't make this, just came across it on instructables.com and thought I'd post it here if people don't frequent there also! :D

I'm not to sure about the dimensions of the battery so you should verify that for sure.

The blade holder with the heatsink and led star with the lens mount and lens is about 3.25" when you get it...

Thanks for clarifying. The way it was worded seemed to me like it was 'you choose one or the other, and that's that - forever'.

In the future would other sound fonts be made available?
Or, is...

This is totally rad!

But I'm still going to throw in my questions:

1) It was said that trying to switch the sound fonts yourself will render the board inoperable - but it's ok to change the...

Thanks For the reassurance Nova, I sort of figured it wouldn't amount to much difference but better safe than sorry.

Yes?

Since current and voltage are relational, would using a smaller rated resistor have a similar affect or would it just fry the LED?
For example: if I were to use a 1ohm 2w resistor when...

I've been looking at some older posts about over driving and could use some clarification. I'm well aware life spans and danger blah blah yakity smakity...

So the options you have are:

The higher the gauge the thinner the wire. I'm using 22g and it seems to be working just fine. Not too thin and weak but not that big or rigid either. I think it's a good compromise.

In regards...

The blade choice is really personal preference. I've got a tcss show blade and a Corbin style battle blade. Personally I like how the blade looks better with the tcss one. But still it's apples to...

As I've been eyeballing getting myself an illuminated switch also I'll throw in my two cents -

As he's running just the led ( no soundboard or driver) doesn't he need just a spst switch instead of...

I had seen that method and was hoping for something a little more precise but I suppose I'll give that a try!

Perhaps he was referring to how do you line up the 3 holes that are predrilled into the blade holder (blade retention and two that actually affix the blade holder to the sink tube) with the holes one...

I think I've gone and confused myself trying to figure this out and could use some help clarifying what the best resistor to use is...

Those were some rad looking hilts! Good job on them! I love the layered plating - I don't think I've seen anything similar.

I'll definetly be adding a recharge port in further builds, but after so many redesigns already I'm anxious to 'fully complete' my first instead of '...oh I might as well add a soundboard... And a...

Luckily that's the only size I can seem to find in the big box hardware stores up here!
I tell you, when I first found the store and forum I had no idea that it would be so easy to get carried...

Curious indeed! I want to order a few to play around with!
The 1.24 OD should fit into a 1.25" sink tube right? Seems like it would be a tight fit?

Anyone know what the gauge of the drilled holes are?

'0.116' ?
29/250 ??

Someone mentioned 6-32 screws...
Has anyone confirmed?

(looking at style 2, 1.24" od)

I've been unable to locate a particular shaped 4x AAA battery holder, where the cells are not stacked in a 2x2 quad, but rather just one level of cells, but arranged two sets of two end to end.

On the premium speaker from the store here there's four un marked solder pads. Given that the polarity doesn't matter, does it matter which two pads get used? Such as the two on the left are the same...

I suppose I should have clarified,

But more importantly how to affix specific components (ie. Sound board, battery pack, that sort of stuff) to the inside of...

Has anyone else come across these? I was walking through my local mall yesterday and saw it in the 'as seen on tv' store.

Yes I am referring to both switch type options with the 'build your own led kits' from the store. So neither of those is what I should be using?

And I think you meant 'plain'? As in this switch?...
