I love the weathering

This picture demonstrates what i am talking about. Look between the green arrows. obviously this is a much more advanced setup using knife edge arrays mirrors and a Beam polarizing cube to combine...

Heat is the lasers most admirable and self damaging quality. After you get over a certain power level you have to actually look into special coatings of the glass lenses them self. To keep from...

I really need to sit down and figure out the best length for the blade. And build a custom one for this saber to get the most put of it. Currently it's only about 27" long but a light beam does the...

On low and med there is no heat issue. On high the heat issue is not in the blade it's in the blade holder/heat sink. I haven't actually measured it to see how hot it gets but on high after a few min...

On low, almost. On med yeah, but I have to play with the focusing ring to max the amount of light going to the defuser tube. It's a strange balance of Getting enough light to the sides of the white...

No I'll have to make a vid of the blade on low and med later and link to them.

Yeah the blade is only meant to be used with settings 1-2 the 3rd builds up a lot of heat that's why it's only a pic of it.

This is a pic of the beam in focused and defocused states. the blade will not light up with it focused. the tight beam bounces off the mirror and produces a solid dot on the side wall of the blade...

For starters it's my fault for not posting the beams in both focused and defocused state. In the de focused state on low. My saber is no more deadly or dangerous than a blue/blue/white tri rebel. I...

CLASS 4 Lasers are not a toy or a joke. Not only are they capable of cutting through plastic and setting things on fire at...

Ok so iv gone and done it, iv actually got my self in a bind. I have built a Shoto to match my full saber. Everything fits except the battery pack... What I need to know is what the minimum voltage...

Thx for all the replies, yeah I have to say the recessed PLI is my favorite part of the saber as well. It wa also the hardest part to get right. To do it I cut out 5 of the 7 ridges in a ribbed and...

Well my second build is finished, below i have included three pictures. The first is the original render i did in photoshop. the second is the finished saber next to the printer render i used as a...

Actualy considering he was in hiding at that time you are mostlikely right about that.

Yeah I have some in the mail right. After it gets in I'll be starting a build log for this saber.

That's what the first av switch is for Actualy. To activate the PLI and the LEDs I mean. Thx for the input though arkhan. On a side note the last parts are in the mail for the hilt so I'll start...

Cool thx for the info. I'll take the advice and wait.

Ok, first let me say I buy everything I normally need from Tim, and I gladly support the shop. But unfortunately I need a piece of MHS Sleeve material and its not in stock. This is holding up the...

Photoshop rocks, is all I have to say.

Here is my second build, I am going for a polished look, most of the parts are on the way now. The only thing i am still in need of is some MHS Sleeve material. I want to use the thicker stuff and...

It's painted. The plastic that the wrap is over is white and I wanted it to match with the rest of the saber. In the books there always talking about the grey color of durasteel, so with that in mind...

These pics don't do the hilt justus . When you look down from the top of the saber the leather actualy makes it the same with along the whole length of the hilt. I do wish I could have gotten the...

Yeah… it was my first time ever attempting to do a wrap like that. Ill just say I have a much greater respect for the people that do this on normal sabers and make it so clean. I was able to slip the...

Iv been a lurker on these board for a while and made a few post a long time ago. I finally got around to building my own saber. Sorry for the low quality of the Pics. currently its all i could...
