Post by: Heavy_Metal_Jedi on September 02, 2009, 10:30:09 PM
After a great deal of waiting, and nearly as much lurking through forums and questions being asked; i give you my first saber with sound...

* Luxeon K2 Royal Blue LED
* MR Sound Board (Jedi)
* Corbin V2 LED Driver
* 4 AAA Batterypack

Yes... actually, I believe Chewbacca up there installed one in a friend's saber.

Thanks  ;D

I wanted something a bit more high end, though that is above my ability to achieve.

As soon as i get this corbin driver issue resolved ill be happy with what ive got  ;)

And well you should! It's a very nice piece.

There's always something about that "first custom saber"...
You feel like you've actually been initiated and inducted into the Jedi Order. 8)
(and in this community, that pretty much qualifies :D)

Hey, aren't you from TCSS?  :)

Anyways, welcome here, your saber is rad and enjoy your stay!

Yes i am from TCSS  ;)

On a unrelated note i just broke a connection in the saber, it would seem that shoving things in the hilt instead of making more room by cutting the wiring shorter and letting it all fit nicely isnt a brilliant idea  ::)

Time to resize and resolder  :-[
