    Default double bladed lightsaber

    im looking for some help. i need to build two double bladed sabers.
    im 3d printing outer shells which will slide over an aluminum tube. i have 1" to 1.125" i.d.
    the first one is darth mauls. two red blades. i would like to use one power source and one speaker and soundboard. any recommendations on what parts to order?
    the second is a jedi temple guard staff. this one is a little more difficult since it is yellow. i need to figure out the same components as the red saber but also need a yellow led. the amber one wont look right.
    please help. ive been banging my head against a wall tring to figure out what i need but there are so many options. thanks

    As far as the yellow LED goes, the tri-rebel led with combinations of red orange and lime or green makes the best yellow hues. As far as parts for the rest of it, you just need to do some more research my man. Watch some of the videos from the custom saber shop with Rob and he helps show what all is needed for saber builds. Most people on here won't do the shopping list for ya

    No, you really can’t.

    No, you would need two cards.

    Actually, the NBV4 should be able to run it fine. The MOSFETs were upgraded from previous versions to be able to support controlling power to a pixel blades. You should really be able to run more than 2 on the V4.
