Sooo... are we never getting a custom chassis for this? The wait has gone from exciting to frustrating to depressing waiting for a custom chassis to do this saber justice.

I mean one of the custom ones with metal parts. Should have been more specific. I wasn't sold on splashing out for a super expensive chassis until I did my first one and now I won't do one on a high end saber without it. I've got the Ahsoka set, Kanan, and Ezra from Solo all done with metal chassis. I couldn't not build this one with metal too.
On a more upbeat note, if you haven't seen Goth's new website, check it out. It's pretty awesome.

I was poking around the internet this weekend looking for any images of the new darksaber, as one is apt to do, and I ran across this posting on the RPF. Just to be clear, I'm am not a member of the RPF and I do not know, to the best of my knowledge, anyone who is a member of the RPF. I'm just thought the promotional images of the saber and the images of the lamp might be of some interest. Darksaber |

Just in case you guys are mulling over a more Mando-centric version in the future... just came across this reveal article on the upcoming Force FX Elite version,have a look: www.starwars.com/news/hasbro-force-fx-elite-darksaberEdit: Sorry,this was shown up on the RPF a while back,had omitted to check there so guess this is nothing new- apologies! |

Another saber update!
The Disney Gallery documentary for season 2 of The Mandalorian has some great scenes concerning Ahsoka Tano (30:14) and her sabers (34:18). And that is not enough there is a Darksaber section (53:58).
It's an hour long doc worth watching in its entirety but I thought I would single out the section relevant to this threat.
Happy watching!

I'm going to try them that way eventually. I just ordered a bunch of these 2020 strips for accent pixels, and the possibility of using them in the Darkstar blade actually facing out towards the edges. White won't be as crisp on RGB, but won't hurt to ask. These pixels aren't as bright as 3535s or 5050s, but I'd be interested to see if they work. Can't hurt to try. Tom |

Does anybody still have extra blade pins from their 10 packs available by chance? I will gladly chip in and pay shipping

Managed to get one pixel to point at blade tip by carving out some material inside.  I think I am happy with the blade now. PS: WS2812C-2020 strips I mentioned a while back didn't work out. They run very very hot! I just saw this. Ok so, I don't usually get involved in tutorials or instructing anyone on how to do stuff since it's your blade and you can do as you wish. However, since you posted this in our run thread I want everyone else to be absolutely clear that this mod is attempting to solve a problem that doesn't exist. I'd hate for anyone out there to ruin a perfectly good blade. I thought about blade tip illumination during the design and testing phase. I just took these so that there's no misunderstanding out there that we didn't somehow forget about this and the tips are dim or whatever and it doesn't work like it should. As you can see there is no blade tip brightness drop.  |
