Showing off how the hilt with the display plug/crystal “magically” lights up when put on the stand. Accomplished by a hall effect sensor and a magnet, plus some clever use of deinit() in the circuit python code. The… instagram.com/p/CAcwW1JBGyz/…

Completed! Well, I just glued up the blade so that’s being allowed to set, but the rest is a great success! Realized upon assembly that the Kobold D ring holder may or may not be 90 degrees off..but hey, that’s how… instagram.com/p/CAcwQQLBGZF/…

Fine tuning the circuit python code. Adafruit provides the foundation, the I added some code to light up the hilt when it is on the stand using a hall effect sensor. Coming from regular arduino coding to this has… instagram.com/p/CAbSFI4ht4D/…

Bunny ears, check! Brass pins, short, check! Hilt to blade connector, check! Taking my time now..almost at the dreaded button that foiled my previous attempt🤨 I have to say, the advice I followed last time using 2K… instagram.com/p/CAYjbVnhykI/…

The base is done! Pretty happy with the result! It was supposed to have a Hall effect sensor in one of the “arms”, after it was encased in epoxy putty I tested it and it worked fine. However after painting it no… instagram.com/p/CAYat__hZXK/…

Final assembly of my reworked Punished Props lightsaber isn’t too far off now..seen in the picture as most of the visible parts from the hilt and base, with some extras just in case. Off camera is the blade, a… instagram.com/p/CAVjbGkhaHo/…

Truly starting to take shape! Going to try a “trick” I picked up watching a Punished Props video on YouTube. A few layers of silver under a final coat of whatever meatllic paint I decide on. Then using a very fine… instagram.com/p/CALc1nrB9GB/…

First layer of primer down on version 2. Finally!..but I can see a ton of putty and sanding in my not too distant future.. By my count the hilt consists of 28 printed pieces, 10 screws, a battery, a button, a… instagram.com/p/B_8IBNuh-0s/…

May The Fourth Be With You! In all its 27 disc glory! Me thinks they timed the shipment of this perfectly! Now all I need is a UHD TV and playback device..🤨🤔 All in due course though.. Got some serious plans in the… instagram.com/p/B_yBVjeB9Hx/…

It could just be social distancing talking, but I am absurdly excited about this piece of 3D printed plastic superglued to a round PCB.. Did someone say interchangeable light sources! No? Well, I don’t… instagram.com/p/B_xASzLhb0g/…

At least the base is starting to take shape. Still not sanded all of it though. The second pic shows the slots for magnets and even a hall effect sensor👍 #starwars #lightsaber #punishedpropsacademy #punishedprops… instagram.com/p/B_YOrx3h0Ac/…

Seems to work well on battery power👍 This is not the battery I plan on using though. The one I planned on using has more capacity, and is fairly flat. Unfortunately the one I got seems to have failed. I noticed when… instagram.com/p/B_GTHOSh6Ox/…

Size comparison. The new base/stand in the middle (un-sanded/un-painted). Even though I designed both I was actually surprised by the size difference when I just now saw them next to each other😆 The hilt of the… instagram.com/p/B_F3YD4BH9D/…

Yes! Great success! Finally, a solder job that works on the first try!😅 Admittedly I went all in and hot glued all the solder joints before testing🤪..it felt like the right thing to do seeing as they were a bit on… instagram.com/p/B_BBJ9uB0Ua/…

Well..I haven’t tested my solder joints yet, but at least it looks good🤪 Really hope this will be enough LEDs to light up the lightsaber version 2 stand/base..😆 134 to be precise🧐 Peobably won’t be running at full… instagram.com/p/B_A8UsnhwtB/…

Looks like I am about to perform surgery..and I could defiantly benefit from having the steady hands of a surgeon looking at the tiny remnants of the solder pads..tbf they are just a pin head in size to begin with… instagram.com/p/B_A1dd1Bf_e/…
