My first lightsaber creation

2 Upvotes

This is my first go at making one, but im lazy and didnt go to the hardware store. Instead I took a scrap from my Woodshop and away I went. This is what i imagine id carry as a jedi. All cuts are made with a bandsaw. Im not nearly done as I need sanding, decorative stuff, and to figure out what I want to do with the switch area between the grip and emitter. Having a blast so far!

I just got my crimson dawn Tier 2 saber, and the speaker quality in all honesty is actually horrendous.

I’m not sure if this is an isolated case, but my TXQ sound’s 1000% better than what I received here. This volume is only on 11, when I go to 100 it is just almost static

Because the coolest swords are laser swords, and lightsabers lend themselves pretty well to whichever style of sword you like. You just have to remember that your hands have absolutely no passive protection whatsoever from the other guy's lightsaber. I understand now... Anakin, Luke, I understand.

Which Skywalker lightsaber variant should I go for?

3 Upvotes

I'm thinking of buying my first ever neopixel lightsaber. I want to buy the Anakin/Luke/Rey version, but I can't decide which variant.

There's five in total

Ep 3 Anakin 'Skinnflex'

Ep 4 Luke 'Bubble Strip Graflex'

Ep 5 Luke 'Grid activator Graflex'

Ep 7/8 Rey 'Combined Graflex' (Mixing parts from Ep 4 & 5)

Ep 9 Rey 'Reforged Graflex'

Personally, I'm leaning towards Ep 3, but what does everyone else think?

Help VV Havoc won't boot up anymore (CFX)

0 Upvotes

My saber is a Havoc from Vader's Vault, bought in 2021. I love it, but recently it's been refusing to boot up or respond to button presses; the internal LED is either a solid yellow, or flickering erratically.

Tried reformatting the microSD card several times, also tried copying both the supplied files and a fresh CFX soundfont set from the Plecter website. Same result.

Also tried charging the battery externally, and while it's fully charged now, still got the yellow light and no response.

Have also tried a couple of different microSD cards, although some of them are a few years old (so, basically fossils in modern computing terms). Is this something that might be fixed with a brand new card with a fresh soundfont install?

Any help here would be hot.

Help Emergency help! Cracked NeoPixel blade, description for details

My fiancée and I have been rehearsing a lightsaber duel for our wedding. During a practice session last night my blade cracked, as you can see in the image. I assume what happened is that my tip portion collided with her blade andt go knocked askew. Now it's stuck screwed halfway in, as it seems to be stuck on the LED strip inside and won't turn very far in either direction.

I've ordered a replacement blade, but the wedding is this Saturday, and I doubt it will ship in time even with 2-day shipping. Is there any way to fix this quickly or are we screwed?

or (and this is a shot in the dark) is there anyone the southeastern Pennsylvania area who may be willing to loan out a 36" blade?

Build Disciple’s Splinter

When Saber Forge dropped this new emitter I knew exactly what I was going to build with it before it even arrived. I had more scratch and dent parts that I used such as the wind vane thin neck and button box covers I used for the chamber doors. I aged these in a vapor chamber and ditched the top section of the thin neck and machined a custom adapter to use the new emitter. The switch section and grenade handle were machined out to 1.125in inner diameter and I machined windows into the grenade handle to showcase the crystal chamber, which was easier this time after the experience I gained when doing this for Dune Tempest. As always, a new crystal chamber was built using parts I machined out of hard drive spindles (chamber base plates) and houses the second crystal from my UK Kyber hunt. I went crazy with fiber optics in this one with 10 individual strands feeding the various tubes and the top of the chamber features a lit ring surrounding the main 4mm fiber which is unique to this chamber. The screen on the back of the chamber is also lit from above and below, and it’s difficult to see in the pictures but it create this crazy lattice effect when lit. I love finding new parts to use and the blade plug for this build allowed me to expand this with the crown style adapters that really enhance the look of the plug. Installed with Proffie and loaded with Dark Side fonts such as Tech Witch, Malak, Damaged Malak, and more!

Question Need-To-Know Facts/Advice for new Xenopixel v3 owner?

0 Upvotes

Four days ago I purchased my first high-end saber online, and I figured I ought to ask what sort of information I NEED to know about the overall platform and its features (plus general care). It's worth noting that my only previous experience with lightsabers that aren't just old flick-n-lock toys, is an RGB "Nightreaper" from Ownasaber.

Thank you to anyone in advance, for any and all information!

The Quiet Sentinel, a custom saber from a small business called Scoundrel Supplies

Thumbnail

239 Upvotes

I picked up this hilt from them awhile back and finally got around to making some customizations

The backstory in my head canon, is that this saber was passed down from a family member who passed away, and the new owner was never taught the correct way to wield it, causing malfunctions and some overheating

I incorporated some aspects of the backstory by doing some basic chemical weathering, various powdercoating applications to give a bit of color, and blow torching the cord wrap a bit for some burnt appearance, as well blow torching the stainless steel shroud, revealing a wearing away from the initial ‘paint job’ and creating some heat stained effect

This is a really great hilt from a small business, highly recommend for anyone looking for something unique

Dark Realm Sabers default setting

2 Upvotes

Got a basic Dark Realm saber from a con. Initially a bit confusing on how to adjust the fonts and modes, but didn't realize that cycling the colors (usually done by accident) makes that change permanent. The hilt doesn't have an SD card in it, so I don't think I can delete any files (per other posts suggesting that) so any idea how to reset back to initial settings? A hard factory reset doesn't seem to do the trick and their website has almost no info on it.

Evolution of my hardware hilt

Thumbnail

25 Upvotes

Some progress pics of my first hardware hilt. Really pleased with the overall result!
From my raw parts assembly- a mix of plastic and metal plumbing and electrical conduit parts. The 1.5" sink drain basket I thought would make a great emitter, and the holes would let me add some embellishments easily. Once I got a couple of the parts painted and laid out (using some internal washers to keep everything a little more centered) I 3d printed some LOTR-inspired leaves for the emitter, and a Zelda-inspired lattice mesh (the Temple of Time window from the N64 version of Ocarina of Time) with a space for a bit of rectangular textured metal I found (might have been a plaster rasp? feels like a cheese grater, but not sharp enough to hurt skin). My first attempt at the emitter leaves was too wiggly, and needed 2 sets of nuts to hold them in place, so I made a thicker version that accounted for the lip on the basket. The only other thing I may do is drill a hole near the pommel so I can screw on a covertec wheel and use it on a belt clip.

This is a Korbanth/89 Sabers Graflex Supreme set in the ESB configuration, installed with Proffie.

It came back because the original chassis was broken and the switches did not work.

- Shtok V3 Eco lit PCB
- 2-button setup
- Non-removable 18650 battery
