Lightsaber update
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Well I finally got most of the parts to begin building my first LED lightsaber. I got the basic hilt pretty much done. I still have some more cutting and some drilling/tapping of some screws. I also have to customize the hilt with some parts and craft foam.
After an hour of soldering I got all the electronics done. I did buy the wrong switch, but it still works with my design.

I put a 3W luxeon LED in the hilt. It's very powerful and is very bright at night. I still have some more work to do so I will keep the updates coming.

| You a full blown collector? I just got some pics of my collection up on Rebelscum.com. Again, great work. Looking forward to seeing the completed job! |
Awesome collection. I don't collect a lot of things just because I don't have the room for it. However I do like to "decorate" with some Star Wars things.
I was going to buy a MR lightsaber like you guys are talking about, but they are not good for dueling. Also, those MR's are EL blades and LED is much brighter. However, mine does not have the sound like those, but I can add it if I wanted.

| heh...... I'm thinkin' you should have spent your money on some new furniture. |
That chair sucks. I won't spend another dime on one of those chairs again. It stays where it is until it competely falls apart.

i saw the link you had posted to the site telling you how to build one yer self (at least i think it was you)
awesome freekin job.....
my friend got one (demo model) for $130 at FutureShop it was the last Anakin one and they let him buy it but he took it back cause it was scratched up and figured for $30 more bucks he could get a new one...took the old back and they had no others left!! (LOL)
now he wants me to order one from LucasArts.....
i told him about what yer doin but he didnt seem interested??
we went to the mall on the weekend and you can still get em at Toys R Us for like $159.99 cdn......which is so freekin expensive.....but even um tempted to get one!!
will the one yer makin have the audio noises as well? or is that possible? if it is.....i hope it all werks out man cause what you have so far is retardedly awesome!!
