the inside if my ani saber doesnt look like that, the colored wires are connected to a plug thing, and the clash sensor, i believe, is in the plastic housing with the switch wires.

[Lord Maul]

uh oh, you must have a DIN plug version. tough luck man, those ones are harder to convert cause there isn't any tutorial on a saber with a din plug []

on another note, i wired up my anakin today and it isn't bright at all. you can barely see the light at the tip of the blade. [] i have fresh batteries in it and i checked all of my connections to make sure they were sound. i have no idea what to do now

OK new problem, I got the light working, unfortunatley I yanked the wires off the switch and in trying to repair it I globbed on too much solder and now the switch doesnt work. The circuit is always complete i cant turn it off. Is there any way to repair this? Can I get a replacemet switch mechanism? Do the luke switches employ the same switch inside them? HELP ME!

Take the solder off? If it's stuck between two terminals stick something in between them when it melts.

thanks guys, premature panic. I was able to clean off the switch board and start over, I got it working.



Edit: Heres an interesting quirk when I fixed it the switch reversed itself, not quite sure how.

so when is the tutorial going to be updated to show how to put this thing together with the new blade holder?

Help me OB Wayne, you're my only hope.

[Lord Maul]

i just did it myself and it looks great []
you can follow the vader tutorial for the wiring and then all you have to do is cut the stock blade holder and put the whole thing back together

If you're talking about the inner plastic that you're replacing with the conversion kit, that's simple.


Put the conversion piece and the plastic piece on a level flat surface right next to each other, so it's standing up on the emitter...

Then mark on the plastic piece where the top of the conversion section ends. Cut there.
