Hi guys,
I'm still pretty new into this new neopixel blades, but I can say right now that they look really gorgeous on video !
I never saw one for real yet, but from what I understand, it may not be as impressive as it is in video ? from what I read here and there, one of the drawback is the shadow when you look at it from a point of view perpendicular to the strip ...
That led me to thinking : if there is this issue with a 2 strip back to back blade, wouldn't it solve the issue to build a blade with 3 strip, in a triangle fashion ?
I saw a video on youtube from a guy (Volguus) who did a vader saber with such a blade build. In the video, he said he was potentially one of the first to do it ...
Any thoughts on that ? The first potential showstopper I think about is the amount of power required for 3 strips rather than 2 ... but on the other hand, I think that you can lower the setting of all led by 1/3 and you will still have the same light produced ...
Thanks in advance for your feedback !
