Post by: Stockton on February 16, 2011, 08:43:14 AM These turned out great! How was putting in the econo board? I plan on using the econo board sometime in the future.

Title: Re: Curved Jedi Hilt w/Econo Sound & Starkillers WIP/VID !!! Post by: Darth Pelage on February 16, 2011, 05:45:17 PM I whole-heartedly agree with everyone on this!! The curved-hilt saber looks fantastic and the econo obi soundboard completes it nicely. Your TFUII Starkillers are very accurate and I love them regardless if one is slightly different than the other. I've always planned on making a curve-hilt saber; do you have any tips on curved-hilt construction from your experiences?
Title: Re: Curved Jedi Hilt w/Econo Sound & Starkillers WIP/VID !!! Post by: LINK on February 16, 2011, 09:54:17 PM Wow, Thanks everyone so much for all the nice complements. I actually didnt expect so many. : )
EDIT: "Sorry everyone. I had put info on here that didnt belong" Ill try and post a couple more pictures of the curved hilt with Red and Cyan "Crystals" To everyone else thanks again for all the great words ! UPDATE: Here is the curved hilt with different "crystals". I didnt put the green in cause its already been seen and I didnt put my Lux Rebel Cyan cause its almost the same shade green and not even a noticable difference on camera. No blue yet for this one.

Title: Re: Curved Jedi Hilt w/Econo Sound & Starkillers WIP/VID !!! Post by: Kaiden Shardsbane on February 17, 2011, 03:55:22 AM Love the yellow! I think my next saber will have to be in yellow somehow.

I'd love to have a pair! Title: Re: Curved Jedi Hilt w/Econo Sound & Starkillers WIP/VID !!! Post by: sjorsjo91 on March 25, 2011, 07:44:05 AM I think you used 3w white leds right?
what kind of resistor did you use with your current set up? 4X1,5 volts is 6V right? Title: Re: Curved Jedi Hilt w/Econo Sound & Starkillers WIP/VID !!! Post by: LINK on March 29, 2011, 12:38:29 AM Quote I think you used 3w white leds right? what kind of resistor did you use with your current set up? 4X1,5 volts is 6V right? Yes... 3w Seoul P4 White. I think i used a 4.7ohm 5w resistor just to be safe. The white ones only need a 3.3ohm 5w but I know you can always go up but not down. And yes my battery set up for this was 4 AAA @ 1.5v = 6v total. I will be deploying soon for a year so my saber building will be haulted but I will still be active on the forum. Take care friend...

After settling in for yellow, suddenly, conflict once again. Dang it...
Anyone know if that would be the same LED / power set up Ultra would use? Title: Re: Curved Jedi Hilt w/Econo Sound & Starkillers WIP/VID !!! Post by: sjorsjo91 on March 29, 2011, 07:36:46 PM thanks a lot buddy good luck on your yourney and MTFBWY
