Nearly every other build video uses 3D printed parts or entirely painted PVC or “buy this aluminum extrusion”. I appreciate you have genuinely used parts that can be bought at a hardware/general home or craft store. Or something you can get readily available very cheaply from the internet. You have clearly iterated on your previous designs and improved with each one. Nice work! 👍

@DIYGene 2 года назад

Thank you, and I agree. I first watched videos to build a light saber then suddenly they go to there 3D printer. Well that’s fine if you have a 3D printer. This was a really fun project although I had someone suggest using a windshield wiper blade for the grips on the hilt and that might be a good idea. Thanks again for watching.

@mrcreepersubscribe5385 4 года назад

The black thing on the hilt is a leather band, because the lightsaber broke in The Last Jedi, it got fixed and it got that leather band, which is actually brown, not black. There is a Legacy lightsaber, which is found at Galaxy's Edge at Walt Disney World and Disneyland, called "Skywalker Reforged" which has that design. Edit: Just so you know, the lightsaber originally didn't have that design. The new design reminds me of a football, because of the brown leather around the ignition switch.

@DIYGene 4 года назад

Baseball Legit , Wow I didn’t know it was brown. That good to know. Thanks for watching.

@RickHenderson 4 года назад

Great video Gene. Great job on coming out with this so quick. From another video I saw a way to diffuse the LED lights by using clear cellophane wrapping (like from gift baskets) rolled into the tube, but that was with a single bright LED in the hilt instead of the strip. Something to think about for my next build! My two son's are happy with the basic ones I made with a drain extender.

@zebragrrl 4 года назад

Perfectly serviceable stunt prop there! It may not be screen-accurate to the hero prop(s), but it's instantly recognizable as the saber you're trying to capture.. and is probably a good deal more durable than the original hero props. This is actually something you see a lot in film and television production, where the props that are going to be seen up-close are meticulously built, but the ones that stunt men are swinging around in the long shots, and the props carried by extras, thrown across the room, etc.. will be 'good enough to recognize from a distance' but may not be exact. This saber has the upshot of costing 'tens of dollars' for the handle, Not to mention the most important part.. being something you can build at home over the span of a weekend. This is a great project for learning Saber and Prop building with.. and from there, each one can get better as one goes along. And I do want to say, as others have said.. kudos to you for pressing forward with your passion for making, even when the tremors try to sideline you. Keep up the awesome work! And consider making a saber that uses the electronic guts of a goodwill toy saber, to have sound effects!

@carlosmarques8380 4 года назад

As a suggestion, you could buy a light saber soundboard to make the saber make those fancy noises, idk the price but i saw someone do it and it was cool, also, i believe disneys sabers use white foam inside the tube to defuse the light, maybe you could try and see if it works as good as your white tube or even bettet, i loved to see the build and the end result is awesome!

How long does one 9v battery last with the LED strip? Any idea if adding a sound chip to a similar build would require another battery?

@DIYGene 4 года назад

David Soto, The battery lasts a very long time. I am wondering about a sound card too. I will have to look into that. Thanks for watching.

@DavidRaphaelSoto 4 года назад

DIY Gene thank you for the quick response! Have a blessed day 😄

DIY Gene I tried connecting a 9v battery to a latching switch and my LED tape but the battery gets excessively hot. Am I doing something wrong?

@DIYGene 4 года назад

David Soto. I’m not sure. I have not had that problem. What would happen if you switch wires?

@santiagobuitrago4467 4 года назад

The white tube you use for the lightsaber is a pvc tube ?

@DIYGene 4 года назад

Santi Spidey , it’s a pvc 1/2” that is thin walled called shark bite. It available at Lowe’s and Home Depot fit about $2. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

Can I replace the lights with those LED fairy string lights? Because they are infinitely cheaper

14:33 Which kind of tube are you using ?

@DIYGene 4 года назад

It’s 1/2” PEX pipe. You can get it a Home Depot and is only about $2 for a 5’ stick. I hope that helps.

@@DIYGene Thank you so much !! I can finally finish my lightsaber :D My only problem was that the light wasn't spreading enough. Thanks again !

Hey you are awesome. Been watching your videos for a time, now, and I was actually wondering if you would ever do the Darth Maul Double-bladed lightsaber. He's my favourite character, and I still haven't managed to find some "usable" double-bladed lightsaber. I've heard you're a great father :) could you be this great teacher and teach us how to build it? Love your content. See ya :)

@DIYGene 4 года назад

iAteneus, Let me look into it. That might be a fun build. I really appreciate you watching the videos and hope you enjoyed them.

Excuse my ignorance, but what are shark bite tubing?

@DIYGene 4 года назад

It’s a inexpensive 1/2” PEX pipe that I picked up at Home Depot. I think it’s under $2.
