Make sure you have no exposed solder or metal from the speaker wires rubbing on the inside of your hilt. Mine was doing that till i hot glued over the contacts on the board and heat shrinked...

Ok. Thanks again guys! I will post feedback on the results of brightness increase and heat buildup.

Thanks for the info guys :) So far i haven't had it on longer than 10 min max. Im just using the stock new style heatsink from the store, will that be a problem?

I have a LEDengin 5w deep red in my saber right now, driven at 1000mA by a PC. I know on the spec sheet it says this is the maximum recommended current to drive it at. Does any one have any...

Due to popular request ill add the pics directly haha.

Oh haha. i had the pics in the first post. there is a link to my facebook album.

Just an update for everyone i have installed the PC and i love it :) This saber is now complete! A little vid for everyone.

PC using the Light Meat sound font.

Thanks everyone :) For the rusty weathering on the silver parts i used eastern57's olive oil weathering technique. I lightly sanded the parts then heated my oven to 550*. then i put the parts on a...

Well its finally done for the most part. Originally i was going to try to hook up one of the new ultimate fx soundboards in this saber, but of course being my first build im pretty sure i fried it...

I know there is an edit button,but no one is responding so im bumping the thread. I finished wireing the ultimate fx board like shown in the picture and the switch led and the main led just stay...

Ive modified a couple of the diagrams in the hasbro sound board thread to use in my saber. Will this work? Im not using the recharge port haha.

Also i am using one of the new ultimate fx boards. ...

Oh man i feel kinda outta place with my music tastes haha. I listen to mostly hardcore, post-hardcore and indie stuff. Bring Me The Horizon, Miss May I, Alesana, Breathe Carolina and Circa Survive...

Looks awesome man! I love that red, how'd you get the tip to light up so well?

Good advice. Ill keep a little first aid kit near me in the future ;) Wont be done for a few weeks, the LED i ordered wont ship till October 17 :(

Wow thanks for the offer cannibal, that is really nice of you. However my dad told me he had an old table grinder so i used that and heres the result :) And yes thats a band-aid on my hand haha. ...

I know the parts not defective haha. Im just looking for a good way to cut down that OD so the sleeve will fit. The thing im worried about with using my dremel grinding wheel is it will come out...

How did you grind it down?

Hey everyone. Im having a little problem with my build. Apparently the MHS sleeve doesn't fit over Choke 2.

I just wanted to get your advice on how i can get the sleeve to slide over. Id...

Hello again everyone. Just wanted to update everyone on my progress. Due to an untimely loss of my job, and other factors, i have finally placed my order. Alot has changed in my parts list and...

oh yeah my bad haha. The Buck Puck will need at least 5v so will need 2 of those 3.7V batteries giving you a total of 7.4V. It will be taking the place of the resistor you would use for the main...

If you are getting an illuminated switch you will also need a resistor for it as well as a separate resistor for the main LED. The 1ohm 5w resistor in your list is ok for the Rebel star with a 3.7v...

Thanks for that replies, they were very helpful. Of course i can always buy a green or a blue led also in case i decide to change it ;)

Also i was just looking into the P4 led's right now, Are...

I originally wanted to get a red led in my first saber, but after seeing alot of pictures they always looked more orangeish than red, they also dont look as bright or even in most pictures. So that...

thanks for the advice. I think ill go with the SPST and get the box 9 with it. By the way your saber looks awesome, i really like it.

On the saber builder it looks like the shorter SPST switch will work. But is there a difference between the longer DPDT switch and the SPST switch?
