Title: List for building Shock LE lightsaber? Post by: Darth Jaedus on May 07, 2011, 06:22:06 PM Could someone list all the parts I need to build this lightsaber with one color and Jedi sound please? I just want to make sure I have all the needed parts in my cart before I order it.
Title: Re: List for building Shock LE lightsaber? Post by: Darth Dexuis on May 07, 2011, 06:28:48 PM The Shock LE Hilt, Emitter, Pommel for the body of the saber and a blade and colour of your choosing. Not sure on the electronics.
Or alternatively you could just get the Shock LE Single blade saber with sound. Title: Re: List for building Shock LE lightsaber? Post by: Darth Jaedus on May 07, 2011, 06:31:22 PM Yeah that's the part I'm most unsure of also. I don't know if I need the LED emitter for sure or not. If I do, it is necessary that I solder it together?

Title: Re: List for building Shock LE lightsaber? Post by: Darth Jaedus on May 07, 2011, 06:37:28 PM Haha. Man. I apologize for my ignorance, but I thought that most of the parts just screwed in together? Or am I misunderstanding the process?
Title: Re: List for building Shock LE lightsaber? Post by: ShadowKatt on May 07, 2011, 09:46:48 PM What? Oh yeah, if you buy the parts from US, they totally screw together. I thought you wanted to MAKE a shock. My bad. :D
BUT, if you're going to DIY, you'll still need the soldering supplies to do the wiring. Generally speaking, if you're just getting a stunt saber, it's worth it just to let them do the soldering since it's pretty much a direct drive LED. The soundboard option can get a bit pricey through Ultrasabers, but most soundboards cost about $100 anyway and you run the risk of heat damaging your components if you're not experienced with soldering. But, you can buy an empty shock hilt and the switches, and a battery pack with an attached speaker from the US website and do the rest yourself. You'll have to supply your own soundboard for the time being though, I can't find those on the site yet. |
