Custom font swing files not playing
Need some help with my custom font I’m working on, I have a Xeno v3 and made some swing files and when I put them on a new font it doesn’t play them. The files are in wav format and 16-bit. I also named them correctly: swing (1)
anyone know why the files aren’t playing?

Obi-Wan Geonosis Saber
Does anybody know if there is a Saber shop that sells a replica of the Lightsaber Obi-Wan uses on Geonosis?
I'm wanting to start a collection of every Lightsaber Obi-Wan ever wielded, and that's one I've yet to come across.

Ghv3 nonresponsive
I have a saberforge prodigal son mk3 that I’ve managed to break(?) It was working, I tried to update the firmware, but did it wrong. Saber said it was updating, then it just…stopped working. Nothing on except one red LED. It won’t talk to the computer anymore. I took the SD card and put the stock files on it from sabertec, but putting the sd back in does nothing. Tried resetting it by holding down the button as described online, but nothing happens. It has a micro usb for charging and data No kill key, no kill switch, wired in battery. Anyone know what my next steps should be?

Need help fixing a saber
Hi all,
My wife bought the darksaber from ziasabers a year ago (I know. Mistake, but what are you gonna do?) It worked then and has been hanging up on our wall the past year. We went to go charge it and it will not charge! When plugged in with the correct charger it gives this beeping sound. When I jiggle it a little it sometimes makes the sound like it's starting to charge but then goes back to beeping. I've read online you can sometimes take out the battery, put it back, and that fixes the issue. But, for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the battery out. Unsurprisingly, zia has been unresponsive to my inquiries. She really loves this saber! Please help

LGT/VHC saber parts
Does anyone know where I can get a Vader style emitter for an lgt/vhc saber? I’d like to piece one together in my own way but can’t find an emitter that looks the part. Either the slanted or graflex style emitter with collar are fine if anyone knows where to get them

No key or switch to disconnect the battery, wired in battery. Anyone know what my next steps should be?
(post was removed by reddit filter previously? Possibly due to terminology of battery switch I have taken out?)

Set-up Sunday!
Finally got a few stands for my favorite sabers. The top three on the left are all Saberforge ASP builds(I still need to install the middle two). The far right staff is the Beast from Saberspro. The other three are all from TXQ.
Yes, it's on a folding table. Don't judge me. XD

Has anyone been able to contact Electrum recently?
I’ve been trying to contact Electrum Sabers for the past couple weeks to try and get any kind of update about my order (which is rapidly approaching its one year anniversary of me placing the order). I’ve tried both the messaging portal on their website as well as reaching out to their official rep here on Reddit but have gotten nothing back but radio silence. Has anyone else had this issue with contacting them or am I the only one being ignored?I’ve used the live chat on their website in the past but I can never seem to catch it when they’re live anymore.

Question about proffie soundfonts
I do not have the type of computer necessary to edit bladestyles for proffie, what i can do however is change the sounds.
Replace sebulba with binary dark Replace emporer with savage opress etc.
I can even change the music tracks by replacing the file and making the name identical to the previous one.
I have no issue, ive figured out how to make it work for me, this is fine, what i want to know is how i would be able to add additional fonts to my sd card? I only have the vanilla twenty-something fonts. And only so many are red, is it impossible to add an additional font since i cant edit it it would be blank?

How to swap a Xenopixel v2 soundboard into a Ultrasabers hilt?
So I found an inexpensive ultrasabers lost grey saber, but I want to modify it to give it smooth swing, more fonts etc. I was wondering if anyone has successfully added a Xenopixel soundboard or something similar to replace the Obsidian board they come with and how u did it/would do it? I know the ultrasabers hilts are big but I can add spacers for that - but can the electronics be made to work together? I'm comfortable soldering stuff but not exactly a circuit board expert lol
