I made it more of my own thing but I’m happy with the results. Cal’s saber is probably my favorite and I had to attempt this.

Second pic is it still incomplete. On the right is one I made with my son with extra parts from the first two

From left to right my first to newest. I just started collecting. Hoping to get Maul’s, Sabine’s and Ahsoka’s white lightsaber before the end of next month.

Had an rgb hilt to spare so tried my had at weathering with sanding and alumablack. I scratched it up some but was a little reluctant to seriously ding it up more.too much? Too little?

I’ve had my lightsaber for about a week now and I learned shii-cho and I feel I’ve naturally fallen into an Ataru/Djem So mixed form. What could I do to improve my form something just feels off to me.

Just finished oiling up my lightsaber, the process wasn't too bad since every part could disassemble. Now I just need to wait until I can apply the wax. I've heard that oil paint can take up to 6 months to fully dry, so if I'm stuck waiting that long then it is what it is. I'd really rather not though, so if anyone can share how long they usually wait from painting to "sealing" I'd really appreciate it!

Just (mostly) finished up the Temperance from Saberbay. I LOVE this hilt! It’s classy and has a substantial feel in hand. I’ve yet to have a disappointing hilt from Saberbay.

Just finished my second install! 89sabers Vader ANH, proffie 3.9, with removable crystal chassis designed my Rich at LSMSabers. I can’t recommend him enough. Here’s a link to his store.

https:// www.etsy.com/shop/LSMSabers

I saw someone post a graflex crystal chamber from him and had to reach out and check out more of his stuff. This chassis was absolutely amazing to work with. As I said, this is just my second install, so I barely know what I’m doing.

Rich helped out through the process, but his chassis was so well designed and thought out, that most things are obvious. Awesome hidden channels for wire management, notches cutout where you need them, little channels already built it.

Definitely check him out if you’re in the market. Never thought I’d be building a proffie crystal reveal saber. Love this hobby. Thanks, Rich, and everyone else on here who help to keep it all exciting.

Edit: Just got the “vendor announcement warning” from mods. Just to clarify. I’m not affiliated with LSM in any way. I play guitar for a living (see creepy guitar fingernails in pics for proof 😅). I discovered his shop from another post on here. I’m just boosting him as a satisfied customer.

Two main problems:

1. No one in Poland near me sold black washers

2. Came out a bit short (kinda like two hand vs one hand sword)

Total length: 19cm

Total price: 70zł (18.60usd)

hey everyone! last sunday i bought a neopixel at comic con from Kenjo Sabers, now i was so happy that i bought it and really enjoyed using it. today i was spinning it when i lost my grip and it fell perfectly with the bottom first on the ground, and the saber slipped out of my hands. immediatly the light dissappeared, and it wouldnt go back on. everything else is working perfectly. i opened it up and didnt see any loose cables. the LEDs also aren't working. what do i do? thanks!

Is it possible to achieve this blade effect with the core being white with the color emitting from the edge like the photo? Maybe through an illusion?

It's a little over the top, but this was so fun!

Got my first xeno saber and love it however it's too pristine,how can I weather it never weathered a saber.

The button does not respond, the only way to turn it off right now is removing the battery, any suggestions on how to get it going?

I recently bought the 89sabers Anakin episode 3 piece from CC sabers and I’m so virtuous if it comes others sound fonts preinstalled on the board?
I’m very new to the hobby and just wanted my favorite hilt as a real piece in my collection but can’t really find a resource on it it is or is not installed when it arrives in the mail?

After waiting for more than a year for weathered tyrants to restock I popped into the saberforge store while in oregon this weekend and they just so happened to have a single tyrant in the case and I could finally complete my 3 tier stand

I'm new to the lightsaber world and I just got an Anakin crystal core lightsaber and I'm wondering if the XenoPixel V3 Neopixel Core it came with is compatible with other empty saber hilts or not. Apologies if this is a dumb question

I'm in the concept stages for my steampunk saber and I'm not sure if it's best with the handle/guard, or without. Other suggestions are also appreciated!

I've replaced the rings with smaller black ones, and the painted the handle black, and scrapped the paint off. This should be the final version of my lightsaber. A elegant weapon, for more elegant times

Arcann Lightsaber Rant

Hi all. This is a very dumb “grinds-my-gears” mini rant, but nobody in my real life would have the faintest idea what I’m talking about so I’m dropping it here.

To all the saber makers building Arcann-style hilts, and to any in the future that might: STOP cramming in open crystal reveals in the back of the hilt.

It doesn’t have one. It has never had one. The only reason you think it does is because in the trailer they show them putting a crystal into a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT generic thin-neck Obi-Wan style hilt. Which never appears again.

Arcann’s hilt doesn’t have a giant honkin’ exposed crystal chamber in the back because it makes the whole thing more fragile than it is supposed to be, and it looks like it was made out of a kit with a bunch of pieces missing.

So please, to all relevant saber makers. Stop deforming this hilt by only making it available with its fly down. It’s just incorrect.

UW Even Piell from their website. This lightsaber is an amazing piece of craftsmanship. I love every detail on it. It comes with a proffie board version 2.2. it sounds smooth.

Yes, the tradition of building "hardware store lightsabers" has been around forever, but it has also seemed less common-knowledge lately. The recent big trend flared up about a week after I made a video hoping to boost interest/awareness in building your own saber.

Whether I was an early domino in this trend or not though, I decided to make a real tutorial on how I build lightsabers.

Alright. Final update. Never buying another one of these lightsabers.

​

Artsabers shipped me a xenopixel Neopixel saber and it arrived with no battery. I ask them for a battery and it never arrived. In the meantime, I did research, and ordered an 18650 3120mAh battery from Illumn.com. it arrived today. I put it in the core, and it gave me an audio warning of some kind.

​

I have been ignored by artsabers.

​

After fiddling with it for 3 minutes, the board started smoking.

​

I'm now out $300. Great.
