In absolutely humbled. Amazing work!

Tell me about the blade plug. I'd also like to see a few close ups of it.

Unbelievable! That internal looks like a realization from a sci-fi 3d concept, amazing work!

[Greenie]

Wow, the core looks amazing! How'd you get the switch to work?

Hey NanoRex, here's those pics of the switch set up.

Hey CET, thank you sir. The blade plug is a stator coil from a disk drive with a bit of 1"brass tube and a bit of 1" blade stock.

As for close ups, have you got zoom mode?

Clever switch set up. Nicely done.

Thanks DC. I spent ages thinking about a spring and a tiny button when all it took was a piece of foam, plus the thumb plate can't be pressed accidentally.

I tried a dozen different ways to assemble my switch and lens setup before I just used some foam mounting tape which was originally supposed to be temporary but has held up rather nicely

Awesome saber bro!
Wishing I had one of those right now. Loving the turbine feel to the core
Would go especially well with purple imo

Oh my...I want

[Renaissance Jedi]

Ugh, this whole thin is a work of art. I absolutely love the switch mechanism!

I keep revisiting this saber, ogling the pictures and trying to come up with the right thing to say. A sting of expletives; a long low whistle; a novella on beauty and simplicity as a facade for life's underlying complexity; Donkey and onions and layers. In the end, I'm going with: Bravo. Beautiful. Gallery-worthy.
