I was also about to suggest 3D printing one. May I also suggest OpenSCAD. It's free and opensource. Not a mouse drag/pull/draw kind of 3D model software though. It's more about math and codes. Here...

Hi All,
I was using MHS sink tube adapters and really needed shorter ones so I could get more space inside sink tube. This is how they looked after I turned them on lathe.

If you don't mind I will include your chassis build in my instructable as another method. Machine a chassis our of a plastic rod or tube. Great work. Thank you for the contribution. I will give...
Is that a 3D printed chassis? if it is, that's exactly what i needed, thank you. If you don't mind me asking, where did the chassis come from. Also, did you machine the crystal chamber yourself? ...
Thank you. The salt water etch turned out great. I think I will add a section in the instructable about that and use your images as an example.
Your too humble Darth Chasm. Those are works of art that i believe would inspire many to build their own. Thank you so much for the contribution.
My point and my goal exactly. This is...
Hello fellow sabersmiths,
As some of you know, i have an instructable on building a saber that has exceeded 750K views and has been featured in several news articles and blogs. In it I promote...
Unfortunately, timing of my funds and the release of new batches of Plecter products hardly ever coincide. But, I must admit that it is a personal problem and not the fault of Erv or TCSS. LOL.

In regards to making this thread sticky, the thread heading/title does not really convey the project. It may confuse people. A new thread may be needed if people really want to do this.

i actually have 2 MR SW-616 lightsabers. one of them I gutted and used for the instructable. Works well enough. I don't want to go the econo route since I've sort of done that already with 616 board...
most of the people looking at the instructable are just starting to consider building one, so having one under your belt makes you a valuable resource for those people. They can draw on your unique...
The nice thing about the sink tubes though is that there is very little fear when it come to taking a dremel or a drill to it. Cut away chunks, drill a bunch of holes... screw up and your only out $9...
The instructable was written 7 years ago and a lot has changed. I have seen a lot of people come and go and a lot of new innovations arrive and old ideas fade away. I am the first to admit the...
greeting all,
Reporter from Science Friday contacted me out of the blue. When I asked what they are about she said "we are a journalistic organization" and they broadcast a science show every...
Hello, I am taking part in Red Bull Flugtag this weekend. I get to ride a home made plane off a 30 foot ramp into murky water. I just want wanted to share. Check out my team here:...
Was it the plastic one? I read from the reviews that the sound is too low.
thanks for the compliment.
hello,
I've been building lightsabers for a while but had a special project that deviated from the norm. I just wanted to share.

Used what I know...
I made one! double-sided red lightsaber. each blade was 24 inches long. Hilt was 24 inches long. It was very fragile but I was able to go out with it a few times that I dared. The blades where 24...

You will need to buy MHS Sleeve material or sink tube to make those three "ring" like overlays.
I would agree with IndustrialAction, you dont want to drill there. Not only is that area threaded, but isnt that area where the main LED and the lense reside?
I remember that. I was wondering how that was done. I was thinking of having two power supplies in the hilt. One dedicated to the sound board and one dedicated to the LEDs (4 of them). I have a few...
Hi all. I am building a new saber for myself on a fairly tight budget. I wanted to have flash on clash but all i have to work with is a 616 board. I was wondering if anyone here has tried wiring a...
the led wired up looks amazing. What sort of mcpcb are you using? Did you etch it youself? If you etched yourself, What method did you use to create the traces?
I too am trying to make a custome...
I'm glad the forum is still up, but the store is down :(
Anyone know why?
Congratulations Kal!!!
This was a great contest. Thanks Lord Dottore Matto for inspiring us.
Cheers,
