Speak softly and carry a big saber...


« on: October 01, 2014, 05:45:04 PM »

So ever since I saw Ripper's blades I've wanted to make my own... Here's what I have come up with so far... Two blades, Eldar inspired one inspired by Hadhafang, and one inspired by Glamdring. They are both about 23" long. They are NOT combat ready. They will break, but they do look amazing!

Yeah I want to know how you made them.  I wouldn't mind making a Falcone blade for my dominix

Yep, gotta know how or at the very least how much they would be if you were to sell them.  Wink
The first one lit up in blue is my favorite, but they are all amazing!  Do they hold up okay for spinning and such?

In-freakin-sane! That is one of the coolest projects I've seen on the forums yet! I agree, you have to us how you made them. Point!

So nice!  Can I give you more than one point?! 

Yeah, I too have been drooling over that guy "Ripper"'s blades in a similar style.  I believe he makes his out of some kind of acrylic and warns that they are not made for dueling, display/cosplay only.

I would love to have an anime-style one, something like you'd see on Sword Art Online, with a BIG, wide, blocky-looking blade attached to a normal-sized saber hilt.

I've also read that having REALLY bright LEDs works much better for this type of thing since the acrylic doesn't capture the light without a diffuser.

It's all about the Benjamins, and I don't have many, but ideally, I want a Manticore CE in SY with Obsidian for Emerald, FoC orange.

Thanks guys! They are 1/4" acrylic, not for dueling, just for show.  I want to expand to other styles and shapes, however the blade shapes cannot deviate too much from the path of the LED light or else you get dim areas. The best colors are the bright single LED colors like white, blue, green and red. Yellows, and purple and other hybrid colors are a bit dimmer because the two LEDs shine around the blade. Not through it like a regular poly blade.

Awesome work.

I too would love to make one. Do you think you could post a picture of one of them out of the hilt? Particularly the bottom ( hilt end) of the blade. I am curious about how they are socketed into the emitter.
