Hello all, its time to come out of the shadows from lurking through every thread I thought may be useful and finally making a purchase from the shop. I have completed my first saber with sound and led. I made one long ago before I ever found this awesome community of delicious information, so its not as neato.
the electronics portion include:
lux 3 cyan
2010 obi wan cheapy hasbro board
5v regulator
5v relayy
1000ma puck
6v battery pack
tcss speaker
custom made mom switch
This is 100% custom build of aluminum tubes of varied size.
I mapped them out, then cut and shaped with dremel and files (majorly time consuming!) the inner tube was then painted black, then the larger pieces slid over.
End piece with stainless mesh and washers
The custom made inside electronics holder and heatsink (super fun soldering all that in the small space)
and then the finished product with a 1" thick walled blade I made myself with about 18" rolled up cellophane, mirrored tip and a sanded with 600 grit paper
Well that's it, hope you guys like it and fyi just made large order number 2 from tim and working on #2 maybe in 2 weeks it will show its face here. night all
