This is now my second ever post here! These past few days I’ve been tweaking and working on my design (which isn’t perfect by any means) and managed to connect my blade to the actual hilt for a test fit. After a couple of twirls and test swings I could immediately tell something was off. And well… the 3d sleeve snapped at the neck.

Looking back, I had an over reliance on the actual strength of the print, as well as making the neck of the print a tad too thin, causing the unfortunate demise of the sleeve.

Despite this setback, I’m not disappointed. Quite frankly I’m happy that it broke in the testing phase of things and not when the electronics were installed (which I’ve yet to even start).

I’m printing off a new prototype that should be stronger, and if not I’ll find a different method.

Is it possible to for me to lock my saber on a font so that I don’t accidentally change it while I’m handling it. Lightsaber running proffie

I have a flat-top battery that came with my snv4 pro pixel saber.

What is the right battery and a good brand for me to get?

Thanks!

The thin neck blade emitter was inspired by Obi-Wan and Luke's Lightsabers and it was my overall favorite design of the blade emitter.
The handheld of my lightsaber fits perfectly. If I ever wanted to create my own Lightsaber in person, I would happily play along with it.

What can I say about the Temperance that I haven't already?

Designed by Joey Mulligan for Saberbay, this continues to be one of my favorite lightsabers to come out this year—and it's still sitting comfortably at the top of my list. The proportions, the mix of brass, aluminum, and wood, and the unmistakable High Republic styling all come together to create a hilt that's both elegant and incredibly satisfying to hold.

This particular saber arrived already weathered by its owner, giving it the appearance of a Jedi weapon that's seen years of service. The worn finish pairs perfectly with the design and really brings out the character of the hilt.

For the install, I used the custom removable chassis I designed specifically for the Temperance. It features a dedicated 28mm speaker pod, a 2020 NeoPixel accent strip that illuminates the grip window, and several additional accent LEDs to add just the right amount of life to the reveal without overpowering the design.

Sometimes the best installs aren't about adding more—they're about complementing an already fantastic hilt. This one was exactly that.

* Proffieboard V3 soundboard

* 28mm Premium Bass Speaker

I had resently got a new xeno v3 lightsaber and I tried to connect it to the xeno configurator app I clicked connect and the saber said it was connected but then the app just got stuck on the connect a saber screen I put it in split screen and it got me off of that screen the app could tell when it was turned off and what font i was using but other then that nothing else would work. I have tried some solutions like getting it closer, turning off wifi and forgetting the lightsaber in Bluetooth connections. Any suggestions to fix this would be greatly appreciated. UPDATE I tried it on my friends phone and it worked perfectly however I tried on mine and the same situation so I am not sure what to do now.

So I fell for SWsabers and got their count dooku pixel saber and after about a week it stopped working after I charged the battery.

It was supposed to say a prompt when I put in the battery but now it’s dead silent and I’m not sure if I can replace the internals since it’s all wired into the speaker and connection points.

Any suggestions and advice are welcome and greatly appreciated

Soon I to make my own circuitry for as I want mine to be entirely made by me. And the plan is these ones will be orange blade with a custom sound already made for them that I created with some synth plugins myself

Hello there,

I recently got the Uno from Kenjosabers and I'm really loving it. It's the first lightsaber I have for spinning/dueling. The only thing I would say is that the hilt is a bit short for my liking (nothing wrong with the hilt, I just prefer a longer one). Is there a EU based vendor that has a hilt extension that would fit that saber?

Has anyone found any good .stl files for 3d printing blade plugs? I’ve done a few, but I’m not wild about any of them.

About a month ago, my friend and I agreed on a wager for our both turning 50 this year. Whoever was the worse victim of male pattern baldness would pay for new Lightsabers for us both! We submitted pictures here, and the community stepped up... to point out which of us was more in denial, lol. As promised, here are our results!

We did our research, and settled on a couple of VHC hilts with NeoPixel blades from TheSaberFactory:

The deal they had also hooked us up with a baselit "learner" model, just so we'd have an extra to mess around with if we wanted to swap parts. This, of course, became our first steps into a larger world... getting to play with the settings and see what the electronics were capable of have inspired us further down the rabbit hole of customization!
Thanks to everyone who voted!

Testing out the new VHC-compatible 15deg and 30deg bends currently in prototype. Might not be everyone's thing, but some really cool builds coming together! Got a pretty cool profile in homage to Dooku in them! Keep an eye on the BST for a Pre-orders post this week!

What do you think you can build with em?

TLDR: Identify this core and tell me where I can buy another

Alright, so I bought the Cal Kestis V2 two botton proffie board from Nsaber. It arrived and as soon as I put it together and turned it on I realized the speaker crackles, sometimes the sound would cut completely, even freeze, completely lock up and crash then turn itself off. I recorded some videos and sent them to customer support. They first just asked me to try the basics, charge it, check connections, turn off and on again, obviously none of that worked. They then suggest the files might be corrupted, which lead me to removing the SD card and realizing it was cracked and broken. They will not help me or let me send items back to replace and just suggested I buy a new SD card and program it myself. I attempted this for about a week before giving up. It was extremely complicated and im pretty good with this stuff but arduino was a pain to deal with. Well now im reaching out to vendors like CCsabers, Vader sabers, and Padawan post and they all say they cant help with this type of core. Can anyone tell me what type of core I have and where I can get some help replacing? Grok says its ELF or something, no idea what that means. Thanks in advance.

Just got my first lightsaber. Ordered the TXQ Judger. Weathered it with steel wool and aluminum black. Gave it some battle scars with a rotary tool, and airbrushed some heat coloring on the emitter. I like how it turned out, so I thought I'd share.

What was the lightsaber that got you into this hobby? Mine was the Evo-Flex.

Years ago, this hilt was my introduction to the custom lightsaber world. Its design struck the perfect balance between classic Graflex-inspired styling and something uniquely its own. So getting the opportunity to revisit one again years later, this time with a complete Proffieboard conversion, was a bit of a full-circle moment.

This build features a custom removable chassis of my own design centered around a Proffieboard V3. While the original electronics have long since been retired, I made sure to preserve one of the Evo-Flex's standout features: the illuminated touch controls and clamp card LEDs. They're part of what made Electrum's designs feel different, and they deserved to remain part of the experience.

I also wanted to give the hilt a little more life, so I modified the body by cutting vent openings beneath the outer shroud, allowing light to shine through the grip section. A layer of Mylar was added behind the vents to soften and diffuse the lighting, while a 2020 NeoPixel accent strip running through the chassis provides the illumination. The result is subtle when idle and striking once powered on.

The chassis itself was printed in matte gray PLA, keeping the industrial aesthetic of the hilt intact while making the electronics fully removable and easy to service.

It's always fun revisiting the saber that started it all—and even more satisfying knowing it now performs every bit as well as it looks.

I'd like to get a Neopixel/Proffie saber based on the main hilt, but with proportions meant for dueling

The one on the right is from Damiensabers.

This is a Temperance hilt from Saberbay that was installed by the exceedinly talented Tim at Tierfon Orbital.

The chassis comes in a single matte black/grey so I thought I might add some embellishments to make the design details pop a bit more.

Hi !

I am planning a gift for a Star Wars fan that loves RGB lights (has a lot of accent lighting installed at his house, mostly neon blue and indigo).

I've done some research and found sabers with stunning hilts and very bright blades but made mostly for dueling/cosplay. As a result, they have sounds and are battery powered. Most importantly, they are not meant to be left on for long periods. I have also found lightsaber wall lamps, but they have a very short blade.

Is any brand making accurate length sabers purely for decorative purpose that won't catch fire or deteriorate if left on for hours ?

Thanks a lot for reading !

Got my first one 4 years ago, and it keep growing!

I would love to display them on my desktop, or wall, but I don't want them to fet dusty, any suggestion on boxes or shelf?

This is a very robust Starkiller from Warsabers that has been installed with a hybrid chassis and proffieboard soundboard. Warsabers includes a very intricate series of PCBs with this hilt, that allow for a neopixel strip behind the crystal, underneath it, as well as neos under the clamp card. I have also wired this up to utilize the USB C charge port in the control box for data access as well as battery charging.

I've been looking around as I need a couple (for a saberstaff that won't be dueling but will be spinning and the such so it will need to be stable) but I can't find any vhs ones, or even 3d models for the base will I need to build it from the ground up or is there somewhere I can get one?

Also on the side of that is there anyway to convert a sabertrio core so it's compatible with other sabers?

Okay, long story short is I want a lightsaber that I can duel with and have cosplay/display with. I found the saberpro maul one which lined up with what I needed pretty well and was at a price point I was comfortable with, I got the baselit version from saberpro as they don't have the 3.9 proffie option. Anyway I've been looking around for quiet a while and I can't find any vhc 3.9s that are prebuilt

My question is: is there somewhere I can buy two prebuilt 3.9s and if not is there somewhere I can get a 3d printed casing for the soundboard and other parts or at least the print file.

If I can't is it feasible to start from the bottom up with minimal tools at my disposal to make this happen?
