The saber in it's finished glory. Finished up tonight. I'm so glad it's done. What a pain in the butt!


MPS pommel from TCSS and the grips of the saber. Very comfortable.


Control box housing mock and real electronics. The activation switch is housed here. Yes, the contacts are exposed, and yes...I meant to do it this way. Shh!


Exposed crystal chamber. Looks nice. I like how it turned out.


Emitter. Viewports with Swarovski crystals to scatter light.


Turk's Head knot attaching tassels to the saber. Never want to tie one of these again. No thanks.


Quartering shot from the front.


Lit shot. Main LED is Cyan bin 2. Crystal chamber LEDs are 5mm bin 2 (thanks LDM!)

Other details:

Ultrasound v1.0 sound and LED driver. 4.8V NiMH pack with in-hilt recharge port.

my first completed LED lightsaber. this used to be an EL saber i bought about 4-5 years ago from tcss. this is all sink tube/plumbing supply with the exception of Tim's 1.25" blade holder and the pommel was originally part of the EL saber. the ring at the base of the shroud, behind the activation button, was part of a gutted sink faucet aerator. i got to use a bit of dremel-fu on the shroud to create a U-channel to show off the retention bolts, plus it has a quick-disconnect right below the heatsink for future LED color changes. the grip is made from 1" rubber washers removed from pvc couplings with a few O-rings slid into the grooves between them. this design is based around a 1.25" sink tube with 1.5" overlay/extension tubes for a shroud and lower handle. as this is my 1st try there's no sound, just wanted to get the thing to ignite


green P4 resistored using 4 AAA batteries. 33" (exposed) 1" OD thin-walled polyC blade with 5 feet of clear cellophane gift wrap as a diffuser. mirrored tip has a 1/4" hole drilled in the center (got the idea from vargose ) so the the tip lights up fairly well with minimal dimming. pic taken with no flash in a lit room

Hey Folks.

Here's my saber: Viper Defender Mark II

Specs
-Ultrasound V2.0
-Lux III Royal blue
-9v battery
-36" Thick walled TCSS Battle blade





Obligatory beauty shots




No indoor light with light from outside


No indoor light, curtains closed


She turned out pretty great. There's an obvious dim spot on the blade but a brighter LED will fix that and is planned for the future.

This is my first post here, and my very first saber. All sink pipe, using a pop-up sink drain and an extension tube. It has no electronics, but my next ones will most definitely.

Pics are a little large... My bad...

So here it is my new super model girlfriend. ;D
This is one top shelf Lightsaber. It's built for use and to look purdy.

Specs:
Hilt = 10 of 10 Jon Judge made Starkiller.
Engine = CF4.2
POwer = 2 x 14500
Led = Xwing BBW

I originally had planed to put a US2.5 in this, however when it arrived it was clear to me that it need a CF. The build for me was a difficulty level of 8 out of 10 for me. I might have been because I had the flu while I was doing it but I will never know for sure. The first install went nice until I realized I missed a 1 on one of the parameters in one of my CF bank files. That cause a down ward spiral that never ended that night. That one mistake ended up causing me 3 more mistakes with each mistake causing me to completely uninstall every thing and reinstall. Fortunately I woke up this morning feeling better and got [s]her[/s] him finished up.
The saber is very solid and well built which is beautifully offset by hoe light it is. With everything installed it weighs 1lb 3oz. All the fine details are there. Nothing but a staler hilt build.
