Yeah good idea thanks.

On that note, is sandpaper a good way to give the saber a weathered effect?

Heh i wouldn't dare try anything like painting it myself, especially for a first saber.

ahk thanks for the info, i'll just wait i think.

good guess

And after all that i can't order it yet due to one of the pieces being out of stock lol

Lol either way thankyou, as luck would have it I actually had a force vision of a soundboard in my future :D

Awesome thankyou so much for all of your help GFJedi and everyone else who input to this, I wouldn't have had a hope without your insight and guidance.

Feels kinda like masters guiding a youngling...

Heh I don't think i wrote it out correctly but I meant to say what you said. The components don't drain the power as they go, the current simply passes through them powering them and then continues...

I was originally thinking using the Li-Ions would be easiest, but the fact I can't import em over here is why I didn't mention them. Since I don't know a thing about electronics i'd rather buy off of...

The simplest fix for the voltage seems to be to switch to the 6 AA holder with a total of 7.2v. I'm not sure if it would fit in the saber with everything else though.

If I do get the 6 holder,...

Ohkay. One day I will understand all of this but until then I apologise for leaving out such obviously necessary components like batteries to power the thing.

Firstly i've chosen the

Final checklist before i order it:

7" Fluted with guarded style switch hole

Screw on LED blade holder style 20

MPS Pommel style 7

Main Body Powder Coating (Wet Black) (DFS2)

Ah cool thanks

Lol thanks for the info mate, hopefully I will eventually add a soundboard to this one or even my second one should I ever make it. Is there something i can put on the end of the saber when the blade...

If in doubt, lube! Thanks mate.

about 40 mins west of melbourne

good idea. Again thankyou so much for the help, i really appreciate it.

aside from getting that extra resistor does the setup look ready to go?

Is the BuckPuck 700mA 4-wire the right one for a red saber? I remember seeing that red and orange need 700 whereas the other colours are 1000. I've chosen the 7.4v Li-ion 800mAh 14500 Battery Pack to...

Fantastic thanks for the info mate.

I've already had a peruse through the site and looked at a few different posts including the one you linked. I was originally just going to follow that post however as i continued looking i found the...
