Starkiller Light Saber

[gravewolf]

My brother loves props and also loves Star Wars so he asked me to make him Starkiller's lightsaber. This will probably take a while to get done since the prepping and painting will be the longest part of this project. Also installing the electronics will take a bit of work.

Started to paint the lightsaber.

how do i post videos here without it directing to my facebook account?

When you post, there is an "Insert Video" option that will let you embed something like a youtube video.

It's done, I'm thinking of replacing the speakers as they don't sound loud enough or maybe it's because of the cheap board.

Your lightsaber looks great! Fantastic job

What CAD software did you use to make that?

Gravewolf uses Tinkercad, if I remember correctly, which is an amazing task on its own for projects like this.

Thanks guys,yes I've been using Tinkercad. Sorry I've been away for awhile since I'm doing a new robot action figure project.

@gravewolf, how did you create the lit up portion of your saber?

[gravewolf]

We just used a cheap lightsaber toy with light and sound feature similar to the hasbro ligbtsaber toys but much cheaper since it was only 5 dollars. We transferred all the electronics to the printed housing.
