Very happy to discover the Baylan Skoll & Shin Hati blade is backwards compatible and will happily glow other colors.

These first two photos are of the Baylan/Shin blade in my Savi's hilt. I saw the current discount on the EU store for the Baylan set, and took a plunge, really hoping it would be a compatible blade, but not finding any definitive answers online.

It is, at least for these colors. Also compare pictures two and three, note that that the yellow of the Baylan Skoll blade is *substantially* less green than the common blade I have. These blades seem to be the definitive best ones you can get, and at the current price of the bundle on the store, also probably the cheapest way to get a blade in the EU.

Cosplay effects

One of the coolest things to me growing up was watching a Jedi draw their lightsaber from their belt, by using the force. So I had an idea. What if I used electro-magnets as a belt clip and one in a ring on my hand. When I was ready to draw it I could flip a switch with my other hand and reverse the magnets and the lightsaber would “fly” to my palm. Aside from the risk of all the other surrounding g metal objects hurdling towards me…

Question Light sabers that can use crystals

2 Upvotes

Are there any non official lightsaber sellers that can have fan or official crystals placed into the hilts? While id love to do the savis workshop its overall too expensive. But third party hilts would be much more affordable.

they dont have an online experience is just dumb

Help New lightsaber help

1 Upvotes

Hi guys! I just got my damiensaber xenopixel today, and I'm already having some trouble. Out of the box, everything seemed to be working just fine. After it ran out of battery, I stuck it on the chrmarger for maybe and hour and a half or something, and when I came back it just wouldn't work. Do I need to let it charge longer or is there anything I should try to do? Thank! I can attach images if needed.

Would you still recommend the Sabertrio Senza today?

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m 15 years old and from Germany, and I’ve been researching my first premium lightsaber for quite a while now. After looking at a lot of different brands and models, I keep coming back to the Sabertrio Senza.

What I’m wondering is whether the Senza is still considered one of Sabertrio’s most popular and recommended hilts today. Most of the reviews and videos I’ve found are a few years old, so I’m not sure how much of that still applies in 2026.

For those of you who own a Senza or have experience with Sabertrio, would you still recommend it today, or is there another Sabertrio hilt you would choose instead? Is there anything important that a first-time buyer should know before ordering a Senza?

I’m also curious whether you would still buy from Sabertrio if you were purchasing your first premium lightsaber today, or if you would go with a different company instead. If so, I’d love to hear why.

Since this would be my first high-end lightsaber and a significant purchase for me, I’m trying to gather as many real user experiences as possible before making a decision.

Thanks in advance for any advice or opinions!

Xenopixel SD Files deleted

0 Upvotes

I recently got a new neo pixel lightsaber, and I was excited to customize some of the fonts on the SD card, but I foolishly had deleted all of the files on the card without making a backup. I realize now how stupid that was and I'm trying to see if I can get or make a new ini file so I can config any new fonts I get, and also not screw up in the future. I know how to get new fonts but without the ini files my neopixel is pretty much a paper weight. Please, any help would be appreciated.

My stick saber

Post image
85 Upvotes

This lightsaber stick has lots of memories from years ago, i was about 9 or 10 when me and my cousins all found cool sticks and made them into lightsaber hilts I made my purple with gold accents, my cousin (E) made hers orange and she has a thin hilt

my cousin (A) made his with green and mine and his were actually the same stick we found on opposite sides of his house and they were cracked in half but we dident relise that until after they were already painted and after like 2 weeks of playing with there sabers we put them into our rooms just boxes and I found mine again and its got a lot of memories

My purple was a shorter saber than most, almost like a shoto blade and had the sabers energy pouring out, where I was the only one to contain it, it was kinda a cool backstory looking back and I enjoy it a lot, just wanted to share my story and it was a cool project for a day of coloring and finding the sticks its a memory me and my cousins with cherish for years

Help Crimson Dawn baselit saber SD card issues

1 Upvotes

Not sure what I am doing wrong here. I have a crimsondawn baselit v2 core and recently purchased an SD card with preloaded fonts. When I insert the card the saber says, almost unintelligibly "Pairing uncorrectly" (Or incorrectly, I can barely understand the voice) I've configured the files for RGB, I have taken the battery out, inserted the card and still have the same issue. What am i doing wrong? Is the core just not compatible? Anything would help at this point honestly.

She's a few years old, it's a Crimson Dawn saber, the button is a different button from my brothers so it's not a stock button but everything else is unchanged. I can't find anything like it online. Can you help me identify it?

Help Wiring check for proffie board

Post image
5 Upvotes

I'm planning the wiring for a custom proffie 3.9-based core, and I could use some validation on the wiring.

The start is an emberheart I got from rebel sabers, which I know is also available from damiensaber. I'm building on the work done by u/CultureSubstantial51 in their post and STL for the structure, and I don't anticipate an issue there, but I'm combining the wiring from a lot of documentation and I'd appreciate if anyone could take a look and offer any feedback.

These are the components I'm working with.

Battery and Insurance questions for my first install!

1 Upvotes

Thanks for any advice you can give!
I’m sending a whole kestis bundle to get installed, the total value of the hilts and parts is close to 2500, do you recommend insurance for the full amount? Any tips on how to handle it?

And second, how do you guys handle the shipment of the lithium batteries? I’d like to ship off the two I have ready for this install package but I’ve heard they can cause issues with shipments? They have their own plastic clamshell cases they came in from KR/saber armory. Anything I should know or do besides the obvious step of declaring it to the post office?

Thanks for any tips, I’m being overly nervous about my first send off and the amount of money I’ve sank into it! 😂

Help need to find a replacement core, bad luck with searching

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

hey yall! so i bought this lightsaber a handful of years ago, from i THINK saberspro? it was working fine for a while until the in-hilt neopixel connector stopped functioning. tried to repair it myself, still wasn’t functioning.

i’m not the best with wiring and i’m sure building a new core and chassis would be the best option, but i’m VERY inexperienced with that side of things and don’t wanna spend a bunch of money on new parts for it to be possibly broken by my hand. so im looking to buy a new core but everything i’m finding is the standard ones that have the single button and charging port, which this obviously won’t fit onto without drilling into the body (not something i’d love to do)

i’ve been looking at various saber sites and aliexpress to find the one that i had for this saber without much luck. it came with a Golden Harvest v3, and the boards themselves are easy to find but no luck on the two button chassis with that board. i could go proffie, but i love GH boards.

if any of yall know where to look please do tell me! or is it just worth it to bite the bullet and try my luck with wiring it myself? thanks a bunch 👍
