Jin Starkiller's "dark solace" (MHS with resistor driven LED)

[jjshumpert]

or put a solar cell in a recess in the bh and have a self charging saber

[Silver Serpent]

I know I had a stack of 101% efficient solar cells around here somewhere, lemme dig em out and I'll send em your way.

[jjshumpert]

hey i dont know a bit about solar systems, but with parts on hand and all the free time i have now ill get it figured out

[jin starkiller]

respectfully i don't know anything about them will have to look into it.....was wondering if there is a wiring schematic with using accent led using the obi wan 2010 board...using accent for the crystal chamber


here are some pics of lightsaber hilt all together .....no electronics yet


well ran into a problem with the build the paint didn't adhere to well after i sandede the parts first so i sandeed everything back down and came up with this

crystal chamber

claws ...thanks to jedy fury and shadar agony for the idea

[ThreeQuadFive]

Sweet lookin' saber!

[jin starkiller]

thanks its been kinda a unicorn for me

lots of going back to the drawing board and redoing a few things

but happy with it now....

Did you remember to use an aluminum primer before painting? I know some paints don't adhere too well if you don't use a proper primer first.

[jin starkiller]

no i didn't.....it's all good though like it better this way ...looks way better than the paint job ......now if i can get the led on the switch and the chamber to light up better i'd be a lot happier.....once led turns on the led on chamber gets really dim ...not sure why as of yet more testing to get it perfect i guess
