I made this saber for my son. He’s 9 and wanted a better saber then the last one I made. The last one was made badly and the emitter got all bent up. So I found some PVC from Ace and it cost me about $2.50 for the PVC and I had the Cyan LED, and a small bag of LED’s. I gave it some black paint and weathered it with some copper paint. And gave it like 60 coats of clear enamel. He loves it and it is strong. Please let me know what you think.
The raw PVC
If you remove the bottom cap, you will find a battery holder I made from a flashlight. It works as a main power switch. The yellow light is on when the power is on, so you don’t leave it on all day.
