I have the same exact blade holder for my first lightsaber and I placed the blade retention screw on your #2. I used the 8-32 x 1/8" Set screw in the market so it does not stick out at all and does...

There we go :-D I changed the link, I'm not sure why gizmodo took it down lol. It was an ad campaign in order to help the blu-ray box set sell in Japan

I saw this post over at Gizmodo I thought everybody here would appreciate. They turned all of the hand rails on a subway car into lightsabers.

First off, welcome to the forums!

Just a quick scan over the list I noticed you don't have the AV hole service, Bezel for Illuminated Switch, lens holder, speaker, speaker holder, and resistors...

Welcome to the forums!

The parts for the saber are whatever you believe looks best. Using the standard main body, pommel, choke, blade holder (my first saber) gives you a more standard MHS hilt...

Awesome I currently have the speaker + 4AAA Battery pack in another saber and it just skipped my mind to buy the 4AAA battery pack without the speaker. Thanks!!! I have updated the diagram does...

Yea I would love to be able to use the 4 AAA's but I just don't have enough room in hilt. By using the rechargeable batteries i would be able to put the soundboard on top of the battery pack an open...

Thanks pointoforigin, Yeah i figured the crystal chamber would be off by not having a Amber LED in the crystal chamber. I can't find a RGBA led small enough that won't drain a ton of energy from the...

This is a small side project I threw together when I was bored. I was looking at the real schematics of a lightsaber and wanted to make my lightsaber look a little more like it. This cost me about $4...

I am currently making my ideal saber (RGB LED + RGB Crystal Chamber that matches main led + a Vibrating Motor). I have looked over these forums for hours and hours and there are still a couple...

I originally built my lightsaber about a year ago with a econo board and switchable LED's. I am planning to upgrade to a force fx soundboard and a RGBA LED. After scouring the boards I found Mat...

This is just absolutley gorgeous! Fantastic job!

Thanks for the comments. The paint was a high gloss black by rustoleum. I didn't use a clear coat on top it was glossy enough. Also the first time I painted it I put a clear coat on top and it...

After a couple weeks of research and some time building, I finally finished my first lightsaber.

A little over 12" Long with a 36" blade
All parts are MHS

Yea i just finished building my first saber and the swing sensor on this board goes nuts if I rotate the saber in my hand a certain way. I'm now planning on buying the swing and clash sensor from the...

Thanks alot for your guys help. I probably will eventually get a driver and rgb led i was just trying to avoid it all. It figures building things never have a easier cheap route. lol but heck this is...

Thanks i wasnt sure if this was an acutally uv emmiting light or if they were using uv to describe the color of the light

Hi all I just stumbled across this purple led and was wondering if you guys think it would work. Also, the led state s its uv purple, I'm not sure if that is a description of the color or if the...

Okay cool thanks for your help I'll go ahead and order the parts now and wire it up and then figure it all out. I really appreciate the quick response.

I have read through out this entire thread and it is so thorough but I just had a small question about the resistor that I need. The LED that I was looking to purchase is the Luxeon Rebel Star. I...

Yes you guys are extremely helpful. Thank you all so much!

Thank you so much!!! You have helped me out so much!!! Thank you thank you thank you

Thank you very much for that information. Does the Lighted DPDT switch and the Mom latch switch in the Luxeon kit fit a guarded or standard hole (I know that the DPDT switch needs the bezel)? Also is...

I have just discovered this amazing hobby only a couple of days ago. I have already designed my saber and just want the first one to only light up, no fancy soundboard or anything yet. I have a very...
