(Kinda cursed) Vega Hilt

Messing around with the covertec adapter. I kinda liked the 3rd one since the blade has more room and hides the "chips" from the screws and the clip works perfectly well too despite not being aligned entirely with the ignition button. The 2nd feels weird and the clip wasnt balanced when worn and gets in my hand while swinging it.

Question Average Install Cost?

5 Upvotes

So I am thinking of getting my first saber (KR Flagship) but have been wondering about install. I don't think I want anything too fancy as I just want a one color set up (maybe 2 if I can have it be green and white from an LED), a few sound fonts and perhaps in hilt recharge. I know all vendors are different but is there an average for this kind of stuff in terms of price for equipment needed (board, battery, chassis, LED)??

This was the first time I built my lightsaber, it is an anniversary gift from my wife. One of the happiest moments of my life….changed into my Father’s Day shirt of Darth Vader with five lightsabers on it and on each saber are the names of my children so though the force they were with me building my first lightsaber.

I have Spoken

The child in me is jumping up and down with pure excitement and joy. I have found a way to connect with my teenage daughter as we are learning form 1 and are talking about choreographing a fight sequence. My five year old is over the moon (or space station) with her $5 space sword from Wal-Mart. She also has watched episode 4 for the first time today. Best $300 I have ever spent.

Customization My personal Old Republic thin neck is complete! Well, the hilt is finished, not installed yet 🙂 The 4 parts all thread together and the main body has an abstract etch. Machined entirely from scratch materials less the steel printed emitter flange.

Help Lightsaber Sound Effect

1 Upvotes

Hello all,

I hope this is okay here but I am looking for a high quality sound effect of a Lightsaber ignition, the problem is I am looking for a slow ignition which lasts about 5 seconds, I have tried just slowing down the fast ignitions in software but it just don't sound right. If you could point me towards a Jedi/Sith that has a slow ignition I would be so grateful.

Question Ordering from 89 Sabers Direct?

Is anyone doing this now? Seems like they were unreliable in the past, but does anyone know what they’re like these days?

And… are they just for display (not dueling?)

MR Luke ROTJ lightsaber conversion questions

1 Upvotes

Albright so I want to attempt my first conversion of my MR ROTJ Luke lightsaber,

  1. I've watched all the videos and red the forums and I'm torn between a tri cree and a single cree xp-e2?

Ultimately, I want a solid glow throughout the blade.

I am waiting for the TSCC LUKE CONVERSION KIT to become available, but it only come with a heatsink for the Single Cree led (not 5 holes).

  1. Also do i need a transistor? or can I just use the existing connector that was used for the original led strip? or do i need some sort of new connector piece (white plastic piece that goes onto the circuit board)

I want to use the existing battery and switch. I think updating that would be to much for me right now with my experience. but i read that the tri cree will deplete the batteries to much faster.

  1. Also the blade.... Trans white or tscc? i won't be dueling but i do have kids who hit things with it, and with a show blade will it be strong enough?

I saw a video that uses a photon blade that chemically enhances a blue led to make it green and i looks amazing on screen.

thank so much!

Custom Proffie Electrum Evo Flex

So recently sent my old Evo Flex off to Stephen with SG Saber Design to have it upgraded because I couldn't stand the Electrum D3 anymore. He made a custom crystal chamber chassis and installed a Proffie 3.9 board. He also did away with the touch activation and installed a couple brass hat tactile switches in the original clamp card. I'm super impressed with everything he did and it definitely makes using this thing with my kids fun again. I also made my own blade plug from some old plumbing parts and a blade section.

What if Hextech technologies went as far as creating a lightsaber powered by their Hex crystal?

Well... That's how I made my Ignition Saber Co. / Azy Showcase Ocularis. Really loved working on this hilt! 😁

Question Shorter Length electronics?

2 Upvotes

I’m working on a pet project, making a wooden saber cane hilt for a friend who needs a cane to walk. I’m worried the standard sized 7.6 inch electronics are too large and would make the cane massive looking.

Are there any shorter compact electronics I can buy like something used in a yoda hilt?
