that looks great man!
what were the dimensions you ended up with?
i have the aluminum u-channel for the base shape, so the only thing i'm kinda worried abound is getting it as straightly cut as possible and the inner plate like you did.
awesome job with that inner plating. just sheet metal?

**Xanatos1986** · 07-04-2011, 09:39 AM

yes just 22 guage sheet metal, cut hammerd straight and the filed down where needed. the I took some custom clamps and bent it where I needed. Need some pics of the tools?

nah, it's cool. if i end up going that same route i'll just end up using vise grips, pliers, etc.

The xantos starkiller is so awesome it eats baby dolls!
Love the switchbox! Going to paint the u channel black? Would help screen accuracy. Looking good!

ok so I got everything except my graflex knobs, I put it all togeather and here it is Ill post new pics when the knobs are one it but I was too excited to wait. I Had problems with the PC after Skott helped me out with the font exchange... I was getting only a boot sound followed by a beep... the saber did not have a activation sound, or deactivation sound and the LEDs were not working. PhinoxReborn, and AZ helped me but PR did alot over AIM. what is was, was that the poweron, and poweroff were named diff, so I changed them and added the LED text file back. It all worked except the LEDs still were not coming on.

Now im mad, thinking I waisted 125 bucks and PR thinks I might need to send it in for repair...lol wow this noob messed up the PC already.... But then I got to looking, yes the PC has really small pads, and for people who have a PC this is what was wrong I think the little silver square box thing by the LED pads, yeah I accedently put too much solder on the pad and linked them togeather... alittle solder braid and tlc with time I fixed it rewired the whole saber for a 3rd time touched up some paint, and installed my graflex pins and this is whay I have.

I present the 95% done starkiller MHS with a PC running the Madcow Korriban font YAY!!!
