[Gzzmos]

Beautiful work! looking forward to the updates!

looks fantastic. I'm also on the knights of ren facebook and would love to get a v5 when its ready

 

[lukyanov]

Chek out "Knights of Ren" on FB. There's been some iteresting files

 

[jchristman]

So is Facebook the only way to get these? I don't do Facebook...

At Star Wars Launch Bay in Orlando as I type this.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but the wire on the Launch Bay Kylo saber is transparent red.

You can see the silver wire inside the transparent red 'casing'.

 

[lukyanov]

I post photos earlier. Yes, it's like wire inside silicone red casing.
I dont find similar wire yet...

 

[propcollector]

That wire is smaller sub woofer wire or power wire for auto audio

I'd like to share my version of print from guabe's files. I'm not really happy with side emitters but it just needs repaint.





The blades are not only for decoration.



Main blade only


And side emitters with power drop on main blade


There is no sound, only manual two step ignition.

Once again, thank you guabe for extremely good replica.

That looks awesome! Great job.

I'm going to try again, since these are now publicly released to the Facebook group...can anyone PM me a copy / non-facebook link of the V5 files? I don't have a Facebook account, but am desperate to get these files...

where to buy?)

 

[propcollector]

It looks too fat for lightsaber.

 

[jchristman]

Yeah, every USB cable I've ever seen is way too thick.

All the translucent red wires I've found have been thicker, 4-12AWG. So far, the closest thing I've found in a thinner wire is speaker cable. This might be close:

Maybe something like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Red-25-Ft-T...aker-Wire-Cable-Spool-BPES14-25-/400963680119
What is "True 14" and "BPES14.25"?

Maybe someone can send 30cm of this cable in Russia by letter? :$

 

[elgringdado]

The cable I used (pictures above) is 17AWG, or 1 sq. mm cross-section if you live outside US, standard electrical wire, only in red.

 

[lukyanov]

It's standart red cable. Translucent red is more authentic

 

[elgringdado]

Is it really? For me it looks like ordinary red cable with nothing to it.

 

[jchristman]

"True 14" is 14AWG, the diameter of the cable. I think that will be too thick. The 17AWG on elgringdado's looks pretty close in size.

I ordered the 16AWG speaker cable from Amazon - I'm hoping it's more transparent than it's photo shows and about the right size. If it works out I can send a short length to Russia.

elgringdado - Yes, the heroV(?) saber at the Launch Bay has a wire with translucent insulation. I believe the Celebration prop was a plain red wire though.
