This is another MachinedFX Starkiller lightsaber that Kilo23 sent to us to add a Sound Board. We used
a HFX Vader Board for this one. We added a LUX III Red LED and red accent LED. The saber arrived with a LUX I LED
for the Blade and flashlight bulb for the accent. We made a new LED/Lens holder/Heat sink using copper fittings
and some copper washers.
The brass rod in the middle of the chamber is a 1/16" rod from ACE Hardware, secured to the heat sink and is hiding
the LED wires which are epoxied on the backside.
The Speaker didn't quite seem to resonate in the hilt very well, so we drilled a few sound holes in the pommel cap.
The blade retention screw is in the middle of the bunny ears just below the rivet that holds the ears in place and the quick
disconnect set up is the same we used for Senti Xamas' Starkiller. One QD for the battery pack and one for the LED
set-up.
A few things I noticed. The blade socket on this one is bigger than the first one we modified and the mid hilt section
is slightly thinner. Each one of these is apparently pretty unique. The weathering on this one was more "severe" and the colors of the hilt were a little different too. I think that adds a little individualism to these sabers.
Here are some Pictures:
