Goshivan's Build Thread

[Shikkakku]

Excellent work so far! I've been following your updates on the build group and am rooting for your success!

[Goshivan]

Thank you, things are starting to come together!

Installed the visor in my helmet and after a few failed attempts I ended going with 2 seperate pieces and gluing them in seperatly.




I also bought a Tactial Helmet set of inserts and they fit perfectly for the helmet, and my head!!



Other than fans which I purchased and am deciding weather to install them I think the helmet is pretty much done!!

OK, after many trials and tribulations I think I finally have my LED's figured out. Took some modding and re-printing but looks pretty good!!!

Nice LEDs, ive been trying to figure out how to contain the power supply in the top part of the blade but im having trouble figuring it out.

If you insist putting the battery pack into the bade section, I would recommend using a slim LiPo Accu. I think it is far easier to put a power bank in the rear section of the staff. However, that was my solution. On my halberd I can pull out the power bank if I screw off the rear knob.

How's the build going?

I actually managed to figure out a way to add lighting to mine and integrate the battery pack and switch into the hilt. I should really update my build thread with the how-to. Maybe this week.

Looks great Paolo!!!


It took some time but I finally managed to figure this thing out. I laid everything out on the table to better keep track of my progress.


I was able to get the blade just how I wanted it and it looks beautiful.


I left the center connector un-glued so I could separate it into 2 pieces for ease of transport and inserted some quick disconnects to separate the power.



I 3d printed a lightsaber chassis and installed it in the hilt with a latching switch on the bottom to keep it hidden. The battery is easily changed for all-day trooping.


All in all, I think it came out beautifully. Can't wait to see peoples reactions to this when I can start trooping!!!
