WIP- making an LED/Luxeon obi Saber. Update 9/18/08 anyone interested?

[Spirit of ob1]

Hey guys,
Here is my first attempt to making an LED obi saber.
It will hold a 3/4 inch blade and will hold MR electronics. These will be mostly for show, you can swing the saber but i prob would not duel with them..
I know some of the parts used are not accurate but it is what i have, and hopefully with help with some of the other members here i will get this as close as possible to the real thing but converted to a Luxeon Obi lightsaber. Here are some pics:cool If all goes well i will be offering these if maybe some of you guys would be interested in these?

thanks

this looks great! I did not realize you could pull this off with the standard issue ANH parts. I just assumed the bulky weathervane in the MR was because the elecs wouldn't fit in the regular one. Is there a place I can pick up these parts to rig my saber?

reason its like that on MR is cuz they use a 1 inch blade and not a 3/4 inch blade. they make MR conversion kits to convert the stock MR over to luxeon led, and the blade goes in 2 inches and you can full hardcore duel with it after the conversion, cuz the blade is then removeable, and the stock blade is replaced with a 1 inch 1/8th inch thickwalled poly c blade.

the stock MR blades are thinwalled blades.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the replies, and with alot of requests so far i think i will take the next step in doing a small run of these. There are a few questons that i will ask everyone as far as what they would like. I can do these in 1" or 3/4. 3/4 is a little better due to weight of the tube. The thing about this project is to make it as close to the real saber as possible. without changing the emitter.

What do you guys think?

Re: WIP- first attempt to making an LED/Luxeon obi Saber. Update

The price should be fairly cheap, it just depends on what everyone wants and how many are really interested. As soon as we can decide witch is best i can submit to get a price.

I would like to have these 2 piece made as 1. what do you guys think?

Re: WIP- first attempt to making an LED/Luxeon obi Saber. Update

Can anyone pm me what the inner diameter is of russ emiter piece?
Im hoping these will fit his so people can use his emitters
Thanks

Re: WIP- first attempt to making an LED/Luxeon obi Saber. Update

For myself, I want something that I could use to attach a russrep emitter to a grenade stem. I would like me one of those, but with a larger center hole instead of a two wire channels. I think I could make the hole myself.

My "trusty olde" calipers are worn, so I can not give any good measurement, sorry.

That is awesome. Do you have a list started? I am definitely interested so put me down. Do you have a ballpark price?

Re: WIP- first attempt to making an LED/Luxeon obi Saber. Update 9/16/08

I have not gotten a list up, but id like to know if anyone would be interested in this piece to create their own LED obi saber? i guess before i go forward and open something up in the junkyard, there are a few questions..

I can do it one of two ways

1- 2 piece part emitter
This will be one whole part

2- Just the "inner piece" that will hold the luxeon and attach to your current emitter piece asuming your current emitter has a 1 inch inner diamiter.

what do you guys think?
