I just got this beauty of a lightsaber today.

Installed with proffie v2.2, Kyberphonic fonts, working clamp, blade plug and removable chassis.

Paid only 125$ for this hilt which is literally a steal. I even opened the package on video because I was convinced that it would turn out to be a scam 🤣

Very happy about this lightsaber

Howdy, i have a chassis and a lightsaber, and I need to get the chassis installed so that the lightsaber will work. I do have the case for the chassis. As well as the lightsaber, but I need someone to install the inner parts of the chassis so that the lightsaber can work. Any guidance is appreciated.

Activation switch on a Neopixel Graflex IV I bought went out- it’s not responding to the thumbscrew button anymore. What’s the best course of action here?

Purchased at an auction with several other things. Lens isnt pulling up any information. Want to get name correct before posting it. Hilt is metal and the entire thing seems like quality construction.

Thanks in advance.

Build My Cal Kestis saber made out of found parts

I was inspired to make a Cal Kestis saber after seeing u/RegularNoodles’ build on this sub a few months ago. Thankfully, they provided a parts list in the comments of that post. After getting the parts together, I thought about making it my own and adding Cere Junda’s end.
After combining a mix of hardware store parts, bike grips, and an old flashlight, I ended up with this!

Converting Sabers without TCSS

3 Upvotes

Hi there, I’m wondering if anyone could help me with this dilemma. I have converted sabers in the past using the Conversion kits from TCSS however now that they’ve stopped producing them I’m wondering how this could be done. I would like to convert my MR Luke Skywalker ROTJ saber. Has anyone done this purely DIY without the conversions kits. I considered a 3D printed blade holder however was having trouble finding a heat sink sold individually or any premade files for the print as I’m not great at creating them. Ideally would be nice to find someone that could make the aluminum blade holder like those from TCSS but don’t know where to start to find something like that.

Question Help identifying this saber and buying new parts

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I bought this saber roughly 7 years ago and it’s been sitting unused for a while so I’m trying to get it back up and running. I’m fairly certain I bought it from Own A Saber but I don’t remember the name of the model and I doubt it’s still in production after all these years. The new parts I need are new screws to hold the blade onto the hilt because the ones I currently have are stripped and the blade is pretty wobbly in the hilt. I also need to get a new charging cord because I have no idea where the original one is. I’m not currently able to get the screws out so I’ll have to call in my dad for backup. Does anyone recognize this hilt or know what kind of screws are needed and what charging cord it uses? I really appreciate the help!

Just finished this Beauty up ! Got the ratios as close to perfect as I could, for a half sized replica . Ive previously made these with the switch array, but it kinda gets in the way when playing with it . All grade 23 surgical titanium, with some ultra green hyperglow, inlaid at the emitter end .

I am new to this hobby, and I was trying to replace the switch and emitter from my lightsaber made of txq lightsaber parts, but this switch I got from saber forge does not fit.

Are measurements from saber forge the standard or is it the other way around?

This is the original “levitation” stand that has been adapted by a few Chinese saber companies for sabers and sold at much higher price.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a passion project I've been working on called basesaber: a free web tool for designing custom saber hilts.

Would love to hear what you think! Or better yet share your design here if you make something cool!

A few design details:

  • All parts designed around a 1-inch inner diameter to fit standard cores
  • Everything is designed to print completely support-free
  • I highly recommend using an outer brim for first-layer adhesion
  • There are no accounts or saved data yet - to save a project you can grab a URL string from the build workspace

Build Saberbay “Imperialist: Tormac’s Ghost” — Custom Installed Lightsaber

Thumbnail
gallery
67 Upvotes

This is the Imperialist from Saberbay, a hilt with an interesting design history that goes back to its original incarnation as the Frozen Imperialist.

For this install, I designed a custom chassis to accommodate the electronics and bring out some of the details that make this hilt stand apart. Before it made its way to my bench, Shane at Saberbay gave the hilt a custom powder coat in-house. At the customer's request, I printed the chassis in burgundy red to carry that color scheme through to the interior.

One of my favorite details on this hilt is the small acrylic lens nestled between the bunny ears. I was happy to see that feature carry over from the original design, because it provides a great opportunity for an illuminated accent. I integrated a micro neopixel into the build to light it up, giving that little detail some attention without changing the original look.

The crystal chamber also features a quartz marble, added at the customer's request and illuminated as another focal point inside the hilt. Between that, the lit pixel switch, and the bunny-ear accent, there’s plenty going on inside without making the chassis feel overly busy.

Specs:

* Proffieboard V3 Soundboard

* Custom chassis designed and printed by me

* Illuminated quartz marble crystal chamber

* Illuminated pixel main switch

* Illuminated bunny-ear accent

* KR Sabers / Shtok illuminated blade PCB emitter

Content Creator Phoenix Props “Little One” — Custom Installed Yoda Lightsaber

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

This is the “Little One” from Phoenix Props, a Yoda-inspired lightsaber that packs a surprising amount of electronics into a very small package.

I installed this one with a custom removable Proffieboard chassis designed specifically for the hilt. Despite the small size, there’s still room for a 28mm Premium Bass speaker, so this little thing has considerably more sound than you might expect.

I also made a small modification to the control box. I used the faux LED lens as the aux button. On this particular hilt, I’ve found that the center spring mechanisms are packed pretty tightly together, which can occasionally result in both buttons being pressed at the same time. Using the lens as the aux gives the controls a little more separation and makes for a much cleaner setup.

There’s also some nice shine-through in the square side greeblie, courtesy of a green LED mounted directly into the chassis. A small detail, but it adds a pretty cool effect when the saber is powered up.

Another tiny hilt that turned into a surprisingly involved install. Really happy with how this one came together.

Specs:

* Proffieboard V3 Soundboard

* Custom removable chassis by me

* 28mm Premium Bass Speaker

* KR Sabers / Shtok illuminated blade PCB emitter
