Live action Darksaber by Gus

How did the meeting go?

Went well, he is working on a prototype that Im sure will look much nicer than mine. He is planning on doing a 10 blade run for now.

It will have the same construction as mine, 3 layers of 3mm acrylic and will be using the 1515 led strips. he will use some difusing material on the edge( i did not) to hide the individual leds better. He also will be using the proper glue so that the acrylic does not bleach out like mine did.

He should have a prototype complete over the weekend and I will share some pics.

Price wise he thinks that he can make them for around $275-$300 but ill confirm once he is done with the prototype.
 
Ahh.. I see..

I changed the link at the last second to a 144 count.. (not knowing/realizing it was a larger size.. as I commented on the 1515's stips right above the link)


These claim to be 2mm:



Unfortunately those are just RGB not RGBW. Guess I'll stick with the 1515 for now. Thanks.
 
for the blade i just used neopixels from adafruit. For the hilt i got everything from the custom saber shop.

Hey, was he able to make a prototype and get a cost estimate?
 
Sorry for the lack of updates. I have been very busy. Just wanted to show you an up coming project.

I believe I got it about 90-95% accurate now.
 
Looks great! Does it have a place for the belt ring? For those that already purchased the files, will there be an update?
Im sorry this is a commission so it wont be available for printing for a while. The belt ring is still not clear where it goes so ill wait till the season ends to see if we can glance it
