Got my v3 - it’s gorgeous! Thanks so much!

I decided to go a different route with mine...thanks for the steel neck (now to find an alternate heatsink method...).

Ho ho ho!! I like that!

 

[boochydog]

so what you most of you use to file the tabs off on the inside of the clamp. just a circular file? thanks.

Try Neopixel. No heatsink needed. TCSS has brand new blade fittings available . The new Nano Biscuit V 4 will run them, and they're consistently bright all the way to the tip. KR sabers has an awesome tutorial on how to build one. With the thin neck a stereo jack type connector would work better than the new TCSS parts maybe.

I've considered Neopixel, but they aren't yet made in 7/8" thick walled (I need the saber to be duel-worthy). I'd use a stereo jack connector, but the blade doesn't fit in the neck heatsink area anyway. The TCSS NP connectors will work fine, I have a set on the way. I may have Rudy get the emitter bored to 1", so I can use thick walled Neopixel. For the premiere, I'll just use a copper tube down the neck to dissipate heat from the LED star.

If I ever get to do another thin neck saber, I would mill out a recess in one side, file the tabs off the clamp on the opposite side. And let the remaining tabs fit inside the milled pocket. It would keep the clamp locked into the saber

Are any of these still available?

 

[Atomicmod]

For those of you adding electronics to your sabers, how are you securing the led lens to the heatsink? Is hot glue a viable method? Seems like the lens would fall out of the emitter without something to hold it into place...

Hey Atomicmod ! Try a little dab of cyanoacrylate, 2-part epoxy, E6000, or Gorilla Glue. I would not use hot glue.

Good Luck! And don't get stuck!

I second a dab of e6000 this stuff works great!

I use to only be able to get it at Home Depot, though I prefer Lowe’s, Lowe’s just recently started to carry it now too!

 

[Atomicmod]

Thanks for info - works great!

 

[macross40k]

Are these still available for purchase? If so I'll take one.

Hey Guys,
Just posting a video of the hilt from Rudy's first run and the emitter from the second run makes a cameo. Should have made this a while ago but hope you all enjoy. Thanks again Rudy for making this hilt!
