So I'm rewiring a piece of cosplay history- a saber I originally built back in 2009. I originally wired the thing with a Seoul P4 LED, which is pretty lame by today's standards. I used a regular...
How hard is it to drill an AV switch hole into a hilt segment? Is it just a straight hole of the proper diameter, or is there anything else that needs doing? I'm working on a Katana styled hilt, and...
And both are momentary, right?
Ok, before I go putting a parts list together, I need two momentary switches for a PC board, right?
I really want customizable sound in this one though. I'm getting kinda tired of being asked "what is (insert non SW character) doing with a lightsaber?" Using a custom, non-SW soundfont, as well as...
Yeah, I was using the builder on the main page, but the one on the forums works much better:) I'm sure this will be a wicked saber once I get it all done. Just to be sure, if I'm using a 5"...
For some reason, those parts weren't showing up for me in the MHS builder:( Don't know why.
I'm thinking the grooved extension might have to be a custom piece, with the grooves configured to go...
I was thinking of using the longest curved choke, which adds about 4.5 inches, and the 5" extension, so the overall length of the hilt will be pretty decent, it's just that extension piece I want to...
I guess breathing is really what I'm after. Is the guy who makes the CF boards stepping up production or something? Last I heard, he made them in small batches by hand, and they only came out every...
Apologies if this is in the wrong area, for starters.
Eventually I want to build my own saber, and I'm looking for it to have a pulsing or breathing effect at a rate similar to a human heartbeat.
I...
Cool, thanks! And I did find out that I can also use Novastar's fonts on the saber I've got currently, with some tweaking that shouldn't be too awfully hard. And if I can get my paws on a crystal...
Of course I was looking to buy them:) He's got one compilation CD with alternate sound fonts that would be perfect for two non- SW characters I'm cosplaying. One wields a blade formed of psionic...
Well sorry, I thought people were experimenting with quite a few different soundboards here. And I figured somebody here would know more about the Novastar sound fonts collections than I do. I don't...
What kind of resin did you use for that mask, and how sturdy is the finished piece? I need to do a set of shoulder pieces and your method might be useful.
I've seen some great sound fonts for sale by Novastar, and I would love a few of them for the one saber with sound I've got, and one more I plan to get. Thing is, my saber has one of the new Obsidian...
First of all, apologies if this is in the wrong place, feel free to move it.
I've heard it's possible to get the blade holders here modified for a fee. If so, how would I go about getting a #16...
Unfortunately it's not practical for me to order a whole slew of LEDs that never get used, hoping that one of them will be the right colour. I don't know anyone else who builds these things in my...
The other thing I was thinking last night while talking about this with another lady who thinks like I do- that line of thinking I mentioned, where it's okay or expected for a girl to nag a guy and...
Here's what I don't get. If a girl pressures a guy to get rid of his sabers, paintball stuff, sports cards, or whatever else he enjoys, it's okay. She's "helping him grow up and get rid of that...
Somebody might be able to help me out here-
I just got my saber parts in the mail today, and my saber hilt looks sweet when put together.
However, I do have one question- I got the Modular pommel...
I like the look of the hilts- if they were metal I would be tempted to get a hold of them, gut them, and put a TCSS electronics kit in there instead. But cheapo plastic? No way.
If I were ordering an LED, would there be any point in asking TCSS which bins they had in stock, and if they had the one I wanted, requesting it when I placed my order?
For example, the...
I wouldn't mind having one of those bin 2 red/orange LED's..be nice for a Golden Gate Bridge-inspired saber I've been wanting to do. About the right colour:)
Yeah, good point. For a cheap and dirty halloween costume, maybe. Anything more than that? Forget it. I have lost count of the number of folks I've directed here or to ultrasabers.
Some of these cheap sabers might be great for kids to play with, but I would not touch them as serious costume pieces, props, or duelling sabers. I've seen too many cheap "lightsaber" like objects.
