Got this saber up here at work today, letting people play with it, seeing where it might fail. It's a bit scary to hand it to someone, but the best way to see if it's sturdy is to let people fool with it.
When I brought my ROTJ Luke reveal up here, my 'beta testers' found a couple flaws in that saber that I fixed that evening.
This one is doing well so far, no breaks yet. LOTS of "Holy crap that is bright" comments.
I turned it on outside this morning, and it was about as bright as an indoors hasbro/MR in the morning sun. Not sure if I'd get the same result in bright midday sunlight, but I could try later.
Swing sensitivity still needs to be lowered, it's at 4, I should try 2. Clash is perfect.
