Yes, it depends on the angle the blade is inserted. I just threw it back on to take the photo but I can get it to light up all the way.

Sorry. Not sure why that was as they seemed to work initially. They should work now.

So, it has been a while since I have updated this as I wanted to get it all in a good state before posting anything but I have attached pictures of the constructed...
This is actually quite positive for me as I was worried that the translucent brass would be too strong. Now I see it is just the faintest yellow/gold tint. I wonder if they could "double dip" the...
I am uploading a couple of (hopefully) final concepts for the lightsaber.
First one is the base hilt without any bells and whistles to show where drilling and custom work should be done:

Ah, yes. Checking the calculations again, the 1ohm, 2W resistor seems like a better option. As for the other resistor, I simply chose the lowest resistance and wattage as the calculation would...
Thank you for both your replies. It has been making me feel more confident again about doing this (although I am still not fully there!).
I have now made some modifications to my parts list:...
So, I am happy with the design of the hilt without electronics now. I think that is very workable and still looks great. I am now starting to worry over the electronics; every time I think I have the...
Another alteration to my concept. This time, the intention is to create a custom hilt piece:

Thank you very much; that sounds good. I shall do that. It may be good to buy and sort out all the non-electronic components first as it may be complex enough just getting this bit sorted!
Well, if I have that as a basis, there may be some more things I could do to spice it up. Any suggestions would be great but you have been very helpful already.
So, the next question is, how do I...
So, we could possibly make something like this (I added the extra decals again just to help me picture it):

My concern is it keeps getting a bit less exciting with each adjustment. It still...
I did have concerns about the space so thank you for clarifying that. I think I understand what you mean about the windowed piece: so you would suggest custom milling the same style of window into a...
I feel this could be an issue with the way I was envisioning this hilt. In order to get the slots on the connector to light up, the emitter is presumably going to have to go below that, which means...
Well, if it is achievable, then adding a sound module would be good. I don't mind reading the manual! Thanks!
I shall add a sound module to my parts list then. Another thing I am uncertain about...
Hello again,
I have been looking more into the construction, particularly regarding sound and blades. To start with, I really just want to create a solid lightsaber - the sound and blade are...
Hey there. Thank you very much for getting back.
Regarding sound, it would be good to have that so I apologise for missing that. From reading, I understand there are different sound cards so I...
Hello Forum. I hope everyone had a good Christmas!
I am hoping to make my first lightsaber soon and have been studying the internet and these forums to try to determine what I need to do....
