I did try to snap a few shots of some of the color mixing, but most of the tints really are lost on camera. Blues all just look like the same blue, really, and so on. The only major colour that you...

This is, indeed, a prophecy v1. Unfortunately, I did not take any photos of the wiring (nor will I) due to its sloppiness and due to the fact that much of the central body was filed out and filled...
Finally, a finished product. RGB Saber with colour-mixing dimmer knobs for infinite colour customization and sound (Hasbro Yoda).
Just a few shots, this is the first saber that I've come close...
Cancer again with another exciting tool for making your lives just a little easier and your wallet just a little heavier!
For those of us working on a budget and especially for those of us working...
My first and probably most reasonable recommendation to you is to invest in a good iron with a nice and tight tip. Expect to throw down a little cash on this, but there's nothing worse than botching...
Finally got the pot's ordered, they came in today. Dissapointingly, they are not the metal knurled knobs that I expected, they arrived with a linear pattern instead. The discrepancy is strictly...
Well it's been a while since I've done anything, but hopefully I'll be able to order these pot's on the 16th. Lately I've been trying to build up a wiring frame for all of the internals but so far...
It's been a while since I've made any progress with this build ... but I've found (finally!!) the potentiometers that I'm going to be using (and they actually fit right in with the slightly 'worn'...
I'm sticking to my guns with this guy and gonna try it out. As soon as I can find 3 identical pot's to try this out with that will actually fit into this saber and get them ordered, I'll get this...
After tinkering around with this setup for a bit, I realized that it was simply impractical to maintain the 3 latching switches (the board only uses a single mom switch), and so I am completely...
White blades have been a massive hit among all of my friends. That's the first color they wanted to see when I told them I made my first RGB. Unfortunately the white does have a feint hint of an...
Latest development, I just picked up an econo-board from Wally World a few nights ago and, due to its small size etc etc etc, I'm gonna try and shove this guy in there and see how it goes! :D
I would like to add my humble "Thank You" to everyone who helped make this board a possibility, and to the community here. Personally, I think that having this board available is probably the best...
Those plasmas are pretty righteous =)
Welcome to the forum to end all forums, friend. :)
Ever since Hasbro re-released all of the FX Sabers with removable blades, the non-removables are selling on eBay for almost nothing anymore ... I love it! So many sound boards out there now! :D
Personally, I think this thing is a beast as-is. I wouldn't shorten the hilt, just get a monster-long blade and turn this thing into a Zwei-Hander/Claymore! Over-Kill is so under-rated. You've got...
Hail fellow MSPaint user! I've been making my plans out with Paint for so long now, for more than just sabers! More to the point, though, have you tampered with the Windows7 paint revamp at all? ...
Honestly, I'm still debating how I want to approach this project. I'm, over-all, happy with this saber as-is and so I'm pretty scared of botching something and mucking it up ... so I don't want to...
Just start haggling! I don't know how most corporate Radio Shack's handle policy, I just work at a solo franchise store where we pretty much just carry their junk and make our own rules ... and...
I'd not be so naive as to believe that I'm the first, however the RGB hilt is slightly different than the standard (as shown in that video) with three buttons already crammed into the case instead of...
Radio Shack sucks, I know. I work here. I work here a lot. I've worked here for three years, I'm a store manager and when it comes to actual electronics, Radio Shack is the most useless fudging...
The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to add sound to this sucker ... and so far I don't think anyone has tackled this feat yet! I'm going to attempt to mount my MR Vader card into this...
Impressive, sir :D
I've had the exact same issues with the Rubies' suit, but the thing has literally paid for itself in 2 years (costume contests are no longer a contest, lol) ... but I would LOVE to see the mods that...
