Hello everyone so I have a saberforge champion tier reyfley saber. The other day with it just displayed I went to turn it on and the sound is gone, it was working just fine a few minutes before. Does anyone know what might be wrong, or anyone who can fix it. Thanks
Does anyone know how to unmute a saberforge champion tier lightsaber?
Hello so I have the reyflex champion tier lightsaber. The other day I was handling it and everything was fine. I put it down for a few minutes then went to turn it back on and now there's no sound. Everything else works such as light, ignition, and vibration. Can ANYONE HELP ME? I'm trying everything to get the sound back. Thanks
Hello. My MR Force FX Saber got oxidated i think and doesnt light up anymore. A toy fixer said the electrical circuit board is broken and i dont even know what that is. Is there a way to get it fixed?
I’m on the kr Sabers site and it’s selling hero packs but (10-40$) ?.... where’s the hilt???
I have built a few neopixel sabers recently and have usually used a 470 ohm inline resistor in the blade but decided to try the 330 ohm smd resistor for a smaller footprint. I am noticing on 3 of my 330 ohm resistors they are all reading 328 ohm. Is this ok or should I just use my 470 ohm inline resistors. They are supposed to be 330 to 470 ohm for neopixel. I do not want to damage the led strip or my soundboard.
Thank you for the help.
Hey all,
I've had this Yoda Force FX saber (Master Replicas version) on display for years now. I just noticed that the handle is..I dunno, the black parts seem to be like..sticky? Maybe disintegrating? I have no idea.
Is this a common problem? What can I do about it?
Any advice would be awesome, thanks for reading
My older brothers birthday is coming up and his favorite book series was the Darth Bane books. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was an ultrasaber hilt that was like Banes? I'm pretty sure the scorpion is pretty close but I want a second opinion
Im looking to getting one, anyone here have good suggestions? trying to keep costs down but want it to be sturdy enough to duel with
Ive had an old master replicas "Anakin" saber from back around when ep 3 came out but looking to getting my first stunt saber.
I know i want it to be an extra long hilt but im stuck between
A) Ultrasaber Dominix V4 with the yari extension or B) Saberforge Disciple with leather wrapped spear extension
Was looking for opinions on which would be better and why. my budget is <$250
Hi All. I'm looking to create my first (of many I suspect) lightsaber, hoping to combine my love of Star Wars with my love of tinkering and soldering. Unfortunately I live in the UK where specialist supplies are somewhat harder to come by. Can anyone recommend either a decent UK based parts supplier, or more likely an American site which will ship to the UK in a timely manner. If there are any UK based guys reading this who could give me a rough estimate of the import tax it would also be hugely appreciated, thanks.
Have you just bought yourself a brand new saber, and are itching to get it into combat? Well now you can!

If you have any questions about anything don't be afraid to ask. I hope to see many of you there, bright eyed, bushy tailed, and wanting to fight with the galaxies greatest warriors! :D
I want to make this, which is a geometric-patterned Form II curved hilt saber, with a convenient hand-guard. I agree 100% with Count Dooku that curved hilts allow for better positioning of the hand! However, a nice hand-guard would prevent many Skywalker-esque amputations. It also looks cool.

I've never made a saber before, but want my first one to be as 100% handmade and custom as possible, since swords are kind of a big deal to me, and so is customizing and fixing them myself (I do fencing, hence Form II.) I was considering using resin to make the hilt after making a mold using a clay prototype (I have only very basic resin casting experience though, but am decent with clay.)
My main question is: is there a way to make it so I could make a hollow/semi-hollow resin hilt, and then add existing parts to it for the mechanics/blade? If possible, I would like to get enough practice that I could start a custom resin hilt Etsy store, if this even is a good idea...
I would probably also make a version of this hilt to fit a basic PVC+foam boffer to use in duels against my friends, but that I'm not as worried about, since I'm mostly concerned about fitting parts together and/or overall mechanics of the electronic parts.
Thanks in advance!
Do they use different standards that might make the process more difficult?
I just bought a saber with sound from Ultrasabers, but I really like the way some of the Saberforge hilts look. I decided not to buy from Saberforge primarily due to the fact that their soundboards can't be loaded with custom sounds while Ultrasabers' boards can.
I really wish Saberforge Ultrasabers had amber LEDs though.
Hi guys, Sooo.. Im just gonna start. I was looking to buy my first super cool looking saber. I found the 2 webseites Ultrsabers and Saberforges. First, I was sure to buy it from US due to the much choices I have and these cool sound stuff.. But then after a ton of reviews, other reddit posts and stuff i switched to buy a Sf saber.. But now the problem is that I want to have the red light. After a few vids I realised that the 12w red saber from SF has a little problem. The light starts getting weaker at the end of the saber. Well i dont know exactly if this is due to the camera or realy such a thing ... And it bothers me somehow.. When I am looking at US now , their sabers look brighter and dont have any of this issues ( Midgrade and ultra edge . I dont know which is better for blazing red, any recs?). But the hilt from SF is so fantastic... If i would buy the SF , I'd get the champion tier.. Its also a bit disturbing that the saber only has 1 sound , while the obsidian got much more options... But I can live without it , as long as the blade doesnt have any problems with these red light stuff.. Soo... What I am asking for is :
wants to suggest something else, i am open but my limit is around 300$ because I am still a student without a loan.. And I also need to ship.. so its gonna be more than 300... Thanks for reading guys. I am really sorry for my english... Have nice day
Just got a 2007 force fx Luke Skywalker saber from ANH master replicas for a pretty good deal, but it's missing the red button. It has the chrome bit, just missing the red plastic button in the middle. Does anyone know where I can order a replacement? I've seen the Graflex buttons that you can order but do they even fit in a MR saber? Any ways I can fabricate the red button with something that's "close enough" to the original? Any help would be great!
