Crossguard Lighted Grip Bar Custom Lightsaber **Pic heavy
« on: May 31, 2018, 12:04:51 PM »











This is a lightsaber I recently completed.







































The design has been in the works for a few years now, ever since I started playing with a thick aluminum pipe I got.





It was inspired in part by an old Vader's Vault lightsaber they did maybe in 2011 or in 2013 I can't remember, where they had a weathered saber with a grip bar and I always liked that.



I kind of like the idea that this is a cross between Excalibur and something out of 'Tron'















Construction of this saber:












This is a little speaker pod I made for the Premium speaker:




Time to wire up the board:




Easy access to the mini SD card:




Lightsaber Specs:
-12.5 inches
-Full length grip bar with blade matching neopixel
-Plecter Pixel system with Prizm 5.1
-on board R.I.C.E.
-easy access charging
-easy access SD card
-full custom lightsaber
-TCSS premium speaker
-high capacity high drain 26650 lithium ion battery pack 3.7
-TCSS easy blade connection



Close up of the control panel:



Blade Specs:

-33 inches
-TCSS Trans white
-Drilled out blade tip
-over 250 Neopixel LEDs on two strips
-multiple layers of diffusion
-TCSS blade connection system


Looks cool in hand:










Nice and bright:

Great work!!



I find your arguments vague and unconvincing.

Quiet! *Slap* And there’s a fresh one if you mouth off again.

I dig this design! It almost appears like a switchblade in some angles:)
