Anakin conversion with a stock blade holder.
Im goint to convert my anikan but i dont have enough money for the conversion kit. How would i be able to convert it and use a stock blade on it? Or would there be anouther emmiter that i could use to hold a CSS blade? It doesnt matter if it looks like anakin hilt at the top because it doesnt have grips or anything so its more of a customm modded anakin.
EDIT: I Changed the title because im now doing the conversion with a CSS blade.
There's a thread on this... to the index you must look. You can use all stock parts if you can find a decent method of heatsinking the LED. You don't even have to make a new holder as long as you keep the stock blade, and it's just sanding if you want to use an upgraded blade.[]

Thanks for the help! How much sanding would be needed? And i havnt made a saber or done any led type things so i may need help later in the game.
The MR blade is 25mm and a 1" upgraded blade is about 25.4mm... not much. How you get that done depends. By hand it might be a while. If you help it along with a dremel or something, less.

Ok im buying the parts but i need help. The luxion collimater lens is out of stock. Do i need this? Or could i make it without it?
You definitely need the lens. It focuses the light from the LED up the blade. It might be possible to make something from scratch, but I doubt it would work anywhere near as well.
I have a little plastic one that was in a rubies vader lightsaber but i dont know if it is the right thing.
Yes, wait for it. You need it. Whoo... that needs to come in stock, that little sucker is kind of important.[:0]
I forget because I have bought a few and don't need any for a bit.

I'm sure it isn't the same. You might be able to make it work somehow, but it still probably won't do as well as a real Luxeon collimator lens.
Yeah, I took one from a flashlight to try once... it was crappy. It was the exact same shape and size but it didn't reflect the light nearly as well.
