Estine Shabone's "Telian" made by Bertuzzi

[Bertuzzi]

Some time ago I sold a saber I used for stage combat (at least a few parts of it). As I wanted its new owner to be satisfied with the saber I rebuilt the chassis and wired everything again. He would be using this sabers in combat either so everything inside had to stay in place.

I started with a 32mm PVC Tube and a PVC profile.



Cutting out a huge window into the shortened tube.



Inserting the batteries into the holder and cutting a small PVC disk.



This disk is glued with double-sided adhesive tape on the battery holder. Now you see its function: it prevents the battery holder from sliding through the tube.





Another panel is made to hold the battery holder in place.



It prevents the battery holder from rotating.



I made a cutout into the panel to place the constant current source (1,4A) in it.







The current source and the panel are both glued with double-sided tape on the battery holder







Now I had to trim the side of the tube which would be near the emitter so the switch would fit.



Then I wired everything up.



The whole interior, parts of the hilt in the background.



Finally, a few impressions of the finished saber.

Just a great saber
I use the saber for half a year now and it's just GREAT for dueling
I'm sure Traxus will be great, too
Good job Bertuzzi

I like the saber, and I'd also like to say that you did a really good job of explaining how you built the chassis for it. quick, simple and easy to follow
keep up the good work

cheers
