Thats the thing Zarrok, I'm not talking about evening the blade, I am trying to brighten the blade by increasing the efficiency of the light distribution from the whole of the led.

Yeah, see the thing that keeps bothering me is the fact the brightest part of the led is actually nearly invisible to us. The reason being it runs straight up from the led, and with nothing to...
Hey guys, I have a couple of questions, but since it is late, I will probably not convey what I want to ask correctly (not that I generally succeed any better when awake anyways), but I at least want...
Well I was able to borrow my brothers drill, but as far as it goes though, I had to buy a crappy soldering iron (which I will be replacing before I do another saber), a set of helping hands, the...
Well I got my acrylic glue today, and set about putting my saber together. Everything that could go wrong without completely destroying parts did, but I finally succeeded in getting everything...
So yeah, I got all my stuff from TCSS, and right now I am just waiting on the Weld-On #16 to make my blade to arrive. Having finally gotten everything, I really wish I had just waited a little...
Hi guys, I know I have a low post count, and am not any kind of master saber builder, but I figured I best warn everyone who is making a Kylo Ren inspired hilt saber out of 4 way pvc couplings to be...
Yeah, cause that was the thing that struck me. If these tubes are dyed, and not made of colored material, then the colors would only go so deep into the materials surface which would limit the...
I have dumb question/idea, would this same effect be possible with a fluorescent cellophane wrap (if we could find such a thing), and or a thin insert? Then, if you wanted, you could have the core...
Yeah, but then you have the added shipping cost for the batteries since they are "hazardous" (last time I checked anyways) which, on my income potential, and with the parts I tried to figure out...
Well I'm going the cheapy route, since I'm unemployed, and broke, with a 1 inch pvc based handle for now. I'll more than likely base the hilt dimensions completely on what I need room for, since the...
Yeah FJk, I know, I was just wondering about it from a real world perspective.
Thanks Miraluka, thats the kind of answer I was looking for. I'm trying to figure out what I should do as far as a...
Ah I messed up on the terminology, instead of brightness I should have said volume, density, or opacity of the light. Since green/yellow is easier to be seen by the human eye, I was trying to...
Hi guys, well I have a few questions, hopefully they are neither too noobish, or redundant, but I have looked around a fair good bit already, and wanted to ask.
For reference this would be for a...
Thanks for the greetings!
As to the questions.
I picked up 3 sizes in all, 3/4, 1", and 1" 1/4, all of cold water only (white) pvc. Out of all of them, the 3/4 feels the nicest in my hands...
Howdy everyone.
Well I'm new to the site, and saber construction, but hopefully yall will put up with me!
I made a little trip to the local Lowe's earlier to procure some building materials to...
Newbie here, but I saw this post, and wondered where you got the led setup you did. I want to try to make a yellow/orange saber, and was wondering where you got your led. Did you have to make it...
