I've been working on this saber for a little while now. I've been trying to create a weathering technique that gives a subtle appearance of age, without going over the top. After a lot of trial and error, I think I got the look I was going for.
First of all, here are the specs:
-two 14670 Li-Ion batteries
-2.1mm charge port
-US 2.5
-blue LuxV LED
-blue ring AV switch
-reverse sound with TCSS speaker
Internals:
Finished pics:
With the reverse sound, the whole v-grove section is a resonance chamber. As you can see, I drilled sound holes in the v-groove section. They go all around the part. Some of the sound comes out the sound holes, and some comes out the pommel. The result is a very loud, deep sounding saber.
I put a blue accent LED in the sound chamber, but the US doesn't put out a lot of power to the accent LEDs, so it's not as bright as I would like it.
I was hoping to shoot a video today, but I wasn't able to. I hope to do it tomorrow.
