Note that white, blue, and green take a higher forward voltage than red, yellow and amber. Now you have a sink tube that does not look like it should be connected to the bathroom sink anymore. You should have something that looks like a work of art, or at least a piece of machinery. For intricate areas of your design use the metal files to carefully take off metal. Sand the edges with course sand paper to remove burs .
Designed to resist shocks and offer realistic combat sensations, SOLAARI lightsabers are now fully customizable! Thanks to our lightsaber configurator, create in a few clicks a customized lightsaber with a design that suits you. You can try making a custom lightsaber by looking at our videos on youtube channel.
Personalized Lightsaber
It is tricky and it is confusing and it can get frustrating.Just step back, take a deep breath and try again when you have cooled off. Where it makes sense, go ahead and solder up parts and wires together. See Picture 2 on how to wire a Hasbro toy circuit board. Here is an example of the Hasbro toy electronics powering an Red/Blue/Green LED. Besides the challenge of how to power these beast up was having a solution for the optics.
Another method is to use a double pole/double throw switch and have two battery packs. One battery pack with low voltage to the MR board and another battery pack with higher voltage going to the buckpuck/resistor/led. Press the button and two different voltages are sent to two circuits isolated from each other. For the basic no sound lightsaber you will need a switch that must be pressed/flipped/moved to turn it on and pressed/flipped/moved again to turn it off. This can be a slider, toggle, push on/push off, or latching switch. You must consider the size, mounting hole requirements, voltage and amp rating and look of the switch.
Build Your Own Laser Lightsaber
There is a crystal chamber, and a feedback motor. The sink tube adapter comes predilled and tapped for machine screws. All we need is two holes on the sink tube to secure the adapter to the sink tube. On purchasing corbin film, you specify your blade diameter and wall thinkness.
That way you can have the MR board getting less than 6 volts and the LED getting what ever it requires (7.2, 10.6, 12 volt what ever). There are others but I leave it to you to do the research. Which ever LED you choose, you have to make sure that there is OPTICS available for it that it will fit in the very small space we have inside the blade holder. For my example I went with THREE (3!!!!) Rebels mounted on one Star as close as possible.
Striker Double bladed Saber
I belong to a local lightsaber club with 20+ members and some of them still buy from Ultrasabers, but i don't anymore. I was actually going to be in Houston on business a couple of years ago and contacted them saying I wanted to buy a lightsaber and pick it up at their place of business . I got a email reply saying they don't want any customers showing up on their property. If you give a damn about quality or dignity, do NOT buy anything from Ultrasabers. Their soundboards are very outdated and ridiculously overpriced, and the owner is infamous for paying and treating his employees like dirt. I have built several lightsabers and I can tell you that even though I learn a lot from each build, something I have NEVER had is plenty of room.
Due to this, it is also a much more affordable option. Secure the tube and flashlight using silver duct tape. You can also use other colors, however if you spray painted the flashlight silver, the silver duct tape will match best. Wind the tape around the tube and flashlight several times taping the tube both above and below the flashlight mouth area for full coverage.
How about some extra stuff like fake electronics, a crystal, feedback motor, or accent LEDs? Once the design has been roughly cut out, switch to your sanding drum and grinding bits. SLOWLY and CAREFULLY grind away closer and closer to the drawing lines. Remember, you can always take a little more off, BUT if you cut or grind too much you can not put it back on.
Create an 18 inch tube using your colored construction paper. Start rolling your 12 by 18 inch (30 cm × 46 cm) piece of colored construction paper at a slight angle to make one end wider. If you need to adjust the roll's tightness, grab the corner that's inside the tube and pull on it. Once you make a tube, use a piece of clear packing tape to secure the edges. Kalmsean missed the part about the FACT that the example lightsaber is partly made out of a chromed brass segment of pipe meant to be used under Bathroom Sinks.
Steal some from your dad's printer tray if need be -- doubt he'll miss three pieces of paper in the long run.A4 or A3 paper both work. As long as it's clean and white, the force will be with you. While I feel the reply to Kalmsean is a bit of necroposting , I feel both commenter may have over-generalized a little. Although, i would very much like to see someone build a lightsaber from a car door. You really want to build a lightsaber from scratch? Do you just have a mountain of money and an eternity of time lying around?
Close the ends of the lightsaber with packing tape to hold the filling. Cut a small circle of paper for each hole—1 the same color as your beam and 1 the same color as your handle. Afterward, place a square of tape over the paper circle, align the hole over the end, and then press the tape onto the paper tubing to hold it in place. Each vertical piece of black tape should have about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between the lower black ring and the bottom of the lightsaber.
OR you want it to blend in with the rest of your hilt design. Thumb screws work well in blending in with the design. A small 6-32 screw works well for being inconspicuous. On my example, the blade retention screw was incorporated into the brass accents decorating the hilt.
Then you specify if you want one layer, two layers, or four layers of Corbin film. I used 2 layers on the green lightsaber in the video. TCSS sent me enough film to cover a blade 40 inches long.
