Yep, that's the issue.





Holy crap it worked!!! I'm so freakin' pumped!! Makes total sense, but since I had charged the system just the hour before I must have crossed something and...

Well I have jumped into li-ion and am using two 14500s and a 7.4 PCB like the one that is currently out of stock at TCSS. Unfortuneately I think I burned it by soldering the wires to the tabs on the...

It is important to make sure you measure to be sure you can fit the longest bit you have in the drill press and still use it with the clamp system you want. I had to get a sears one because it had...

ok, so I played around this last week with options presented by this thread and I gotta tell you I am super disappointed.

First off I love the 2010 econo board hasbro. I like it better than the...

Another great saber by Darth Midian. Thanks so much for freely sharing all your tricks of the trade- you were the first that friended me when i first joined and was a wealth of knowledge on all...

Excellent. Nice even work. Smoother than I do.

Thanks everyone, appreciate it.

I agree, I put one side in and use the side of my workbench to brace the speaker and push the holder on. The real question is how to get it out when you are so excited because you just got your...

Yes, but I am not looking for approx. I am connecting each diode in the LED up to a pot. That way I can variably dial in a resistance, which I can then measure for the exact resistance for each...

I just got my breadboard to test wire up more complex systems and am looking to get a few potentiometers to mix colors on 3 and 4 color LEDs (rgb, rgba, etc) to get resistance measurements.

I have...

Way to go dad! I hope lightsaber battles are the only ones you have. :-) How are you keeping the speaker from hitting the switch in the pommel?

So, fitting is a matter of perspective. You could use the guarded switch hole and standard switch, but it will be loose and you most likely have to go to a local hardware store and try to find a...

I use these routinely: (I get them at the big M store -make sure they are the thin ones).

Ya, I also have never baked mine-scary actually as 7 min. in my sauna with PVC was enough to bend it to make my son a toy bow.

I do, however, always use a primer. Once had a problem with a...

It is the 'deal extreme' LED as you describe. Each color I need would be in parallel with the battery, but the resistors in series to equal what I need on each diode. (battery positive wire...

I just got my dx 3w rgb LEDs today. I have been wiring one up for purple for my daughters new saber and playing with the resistors. I tried to calculate what I would need, but got some weird numbers...

Your saber is amazing.

I have made my first PVC saber (not nearly as nice) and am trying to find out how others are anchoring the led in the saber.

I took my led and hot glued the lens and...

I replace the swing, but not the clash. Perhapse I will try that next time. Today I opened up a yoda, obi, and vader 2010 saber to get the boards. First time for the yoda one - and harder than all...

I have now built 7 sabers, 4 with sound (Will post pics when I get time). All using the hasboro 2010 DVD models. 1 Vader and 1 Anakin and 2 Obi. The ObiWan is my favorite as it is much more narrow...
