Another place to look for them is in electronic cigarette shops. 18650 Li Ion batteries are used in a lot of them.

You could also make one out of clay, make a mold then cast one in clear resin. It would probably be heavier than desired, but it could work in a pinch.

Your question is a little hard to answer without a little more information. Which switch is it? Is this going in to a stunt, or will you be having sound? If sound what board are you going to use? Do...

Thrawn is a good series, But if you want one that talks about building a saber you would want to read one of my favorites. "I, Jedi" It's good as a standalone, but better if you've read the X-Wing...

Yes, The PC will shimmer and do a flash, best part is you can control how much or little of the effect by changing the settings on the SD card. If you haven't already, I would recommend downloading...

That would work, But you would get even more life out of http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/74v-Li-ion-2600mAh-18650-Battery-Pack-P699.aspx . What you want to look at is the mAh rating. The higher...

The wires I think your referring to are the speaker wires. The best solution for this would probably be this http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/MHS-speaker-and-battery-holder-P315.aspx

The string blade in the MR and Hasbro sabers are segmented, basically broken up in to 6 groups, so that it can give the scrolling ignition and retraction. So if you wanted to make a string blade do...

I used a MR Anakin in my last saber, I didn't need a transistor setup. I'm running 4 AAA NIMH batteries in it, In fact I was having issues when I put in regular AAAs. It was too much voltage for the...

I could be wrong, because I don't have one to test my theory with, but it looks like the essentially the same set up, you would connect 1 though 5 for negative and VSS would be your positive. I would...

It's about 1 3/8" at the wide part, about 1 1/4" at the narrow part and about 9/16" deep. I cant find my calipers to be more precise. Hope that helps and fits your design.

Thanks, the MHS parts are #8 blade holder, #5 pommel, 3" extension (Heavily modified), 2 MHS to 1.5" sink tube adapters, and a covertec wheel.

The Box was cut from a square tube from...

Thanks for the compliments. The main body is a 1-1/4" sink tube sanded down, and the weathering was done with black acrylic paint.

With my latest saber I took some inspiration from the sabers in TOR. A few of the sabers had a very long control box, So that is where my design started. The custom slide switch is what took the most...

Previews are working for me with chrome and opera

Eventually I will start naming these, but for now 3rd will have to do. This was actually supposed to be the second saber, but as the original idea for it didn't quite pan out the way I wanted this...

So, I decided with the MHS pieces that I didn't use , I would create another saber. Also, I felt it was time I made a sith saber. In that I started by painting the double female grooved all black....

It's definately possible to build a saber that's fairly inexpensive. Just want to second everything that brett said and a couple of things you should check out are the MHS builder, this will help you...

It's 1" by 1 and 13/16". It looks like the sides could be trimmed down a little if need be.

I haven't wired mine up yet, but from what I've read you need to use 2 switches to get the full usage of the PC. Of the 3 pads for the switches, from left to right, are positive main activation,...

So I finally finished my 2nd saber. It has 2 MHS 1.5 sink tube adapters,and a pommel #5 for the blade holder. It has a switch box #4 above what I like to call a faux crystal chamber. the chamber is...

I think I am going to name this saber Lucy. Every time I think I am about to be able to finish it, it pulls the football away and I end up on my back. ARGH!

Power supply: 4.5 to 9 V / 2A (with the High-power LED). 2 li-ion cells (18650 or 14500) batteries recommended. copied from page 4 of the manual.
this thread should help with the wiring...

Ok, So it's been a while since I posted on this and with the holidays and working retail, and the old republic having come out, this kind of took a back burner. after this I look at it and came to...

I haven't played with it yet, but it seems that you would be able to to what you are looking for in this thread...
