That's wicked cool! I'd be willing to bet that is a comfortable saber, too. Choke Style 3 feels great in the hand. An RGB lightning bolt with an RGB saber is also a win in my book.

Very nice! I like the accent LEDs under the bubble card.

I like the silvery blue blade color, too. Are you running the blue and white together and using the green for flash on clash?

Very impressive! I like how the look is closer to the Graflex aesthetic.

How did you do the crystal chamber?

Not at all IMO. I've used Audacity to make custom boot sounds louder. You would just click effect > amplify.. and then set how much louder you want to make the font. Just be sure when exporting the...

I wish you luck on your build! Patience and planning, I would say, are essential in saber building. I would also recommend asking as many questions as you need. I know there were definitely times...

I have been considering a very similar build (Disciple with PRIZM) and I also contemplated where the auxiliary switch would go. If you don't mind drilling the hilt it opens up a few more options, but...

From what I've heard Graflex 2.0 blade holders work in the Roman's Empire Graflex, but vintage Graflex blade holders do not line up correctly. I can provide the link to where I read this, but I don't...

I've used a threaded recharge port hole in the middle of a 4" fluted extension. It was a bit tricky to install, but I liked how the port was flush with the hilt rather than having an external nut....

Looks pretty sweet. It's a shame there isn't a conversion kit for this yet.

How does the hilt compare to the Graflex 2.0 (size, accuracy, feel, etc.)? I haven't seen too many direct comparisons...

I'm almost certain the issue is with the body of the saber. I cut out my soundboard and chassis and tried to test fit my other chassis discs and none of them fit. Conversely I put the NBv3 discs that...

A dedicated color change board like the above suggestions would work with your above LED.

Alternatively you could wire your LED module with quick disconnects and swap the LED module. This...

The leather molding technique is quite clever. That emitter looks absolutely fantastic! I particularly like how it looks lit up. I think the accent LED panel is quite clever also.

I made the mistake of not testing my chassis discs before assembling my chassis and wiring my board :D While attempting some cram-fu, I realized that my first chassis disc would not fit into the body...

Thanks for the help guys. I definitely should have asked before attempting to wire the speaker.

This is my first time working with the 2w 20mm Bass Speaker and I assumed I could just choose one pad from each side and solder my wire on. While I was trying to solder my wire on, a small bit of...

The photon blade is supposed to be used with a blue LED (the regular blue not royal blue are supposed to work best). The blade material has a dye that reacts with the blue wavelength of light and...

Thank you everyone for your kind words.


When I was looking at different grips I was worried about shifting grips or grips falling off. The milled grooves for these grips really give me...

The knurling on the grip looks awesome.

I like the weathering on the second saber. How did you remove the copper from the neck?

My goal for this project was to try and create a lightsaber that retained some of the classic elements of a Graflex, but improved the ergonomics a bit. For this particular saber that...

I personally use a Hakko FX888D soldering iron it's definitely not a cheap one at ~$100, but it makes soldering a breeze. Prior to this I had used irons in the $15-$20 range which worked alright for...

It's so hard to just pick one:

I agree with darth_chasm and Greenie. Try tweaking your configuration file before reworking the placement of your board in the hilt. On my last two builds with the Nano-Biscotte v3, I found the...

I did a bit of searching and found a forum discussion of some potential weaknesses of Shapeways parts: https://www.shapeways.com/forum/t/wsf-density-fragility-brittleness-issue.26188/

I really like how you did the green accents. The black weathering over the green gives a sort of subtle glow to the saber.

I dig that etching. I like the additions to the emitter and the pommel.
What chassis setup did you use? It looks custom or 3D printed?
