I've been seeing lots of comments like "oh, I could do it too if I had an expensive 3d printer". There are other options. Not all 3d printers are expensive, but If you wanted it printed you could use a service like 3dhubs or shapeways or even find a local makerspace. Also, it's basically a tube so you could try pvc pipe as a base, then add details on top. I would challenge you to use what you have to make stuff you want. You can do it!!
I really like seeing your reaction to it too. You should do more first impressions like that on camera to builds like this one. For builds that could work or fail you know? I would really like to see that.
The joy on your face when that lit up! Made me so happy that you were happy! I have a hilt that I made last summer which has been just a decoration... until now. This video has for sure inspired me to fit it with all the electronics and make it look great! Probably the only thing I would add would be a quick disconnect between the blade and the hilt that way its easily portable and I can still have it as a decoration without the blade. Overall this was awesome and made my Star Wars day that much better!
Hey thats pretty cool i wish i could do stuff like this, you are so creative and talented so keep up the good work!!! P.s. I know this is late but i couldent resist
believe me, you'd know long before watching a youtube video if you were colour blind. take it from me, as a little girl in school who got loads of comments and backlash when I coloured the ocean purple.
Man, you're awesome! I loved your face when turning it on fully assembled for the first time, a dream come true. Congratulations on your great work and passion!
Hey man great project, small tip for you when going for a metallic spray finish the coat before should be a gloss black as it really adds to the shiny metallic finish 👍
Dude this reminds me when i was a kid, i mean i have always love to do things, and in my childhood i was so much crazy about making stuff, I used to make swords, guns, space ships, buildings, houses even cities, everything i wanted using only what i could find, I build my own lightsaber using aluminium paper, I did luke saber and i was so much obsessed with all the little details.
Looking back, I really saw the pure joy and excitement radiated all over your face when you finally succeeded in the project. Congrats and really nice job!
Today I talk for my class about the influence that movies have in the engineer, and yesterday I spent a lot of time watching your videos (like always) and ended up giving me the final touch for my work, (I hope you don't mind) I screenshot your Matrix of leadership and this video, you were the perfect example about mi work. (by the way, it was a success) So thanks
I've been looking for a good lightsaber soundboard, and this is an amazing idea, I can't wait to get a teensy and finish my lightsaber I've been working on for a while. I know it's late, but thank you for mak8ng this video!
OK...yet you can get something done. I can't do diddly squat with Fusion 360. I just don't get it. I've tried to use their tutorials, but it's like "well, since you're an expert at Solidworks you just need to know the differences". UGH. I have so many ideas in my head of things I want/need to build and I want plans...I'm better off getting my old drafting equipment out and scratching some lines right now.
It really is a learning process. I've been at it for about a month and can tell you that it even people who get down routines can have issues, you just need to work through them and you'll get there.
he is definitely not a pro! but as you can see he knows enough to get it done and thats all that matters. CAD is hard but you can work your way through if you have the patience. great Job, Bob!
So, how's the battery life? Reading up specs for a 144LED/m WS2812B strip, I found that it will use 43.2W/meter. That's 8.6A current. That's probably peak current with everything at full brightness, but I suspect 4 x AA NiMH cells are not going to last very long. I'm working on something similar and planning to use a 18650 LiIon cell for power. In my project, I estimate the peak power draw will be about 20W (65 cm long strip / 3.7V supply). Last year I built a prop that had 24 WS2812Bs, an Adafruit Trinket (3.3V) and it was powered using a single 10440. The LED strip is rated for 5V, but will work fine with a slightly lower voltage. The lights were almost never at full power, so battery life was around 10 hours.

Awesome! I love the [inner] little boy that jumps out when you turn that thing on! Is heat build-up a problem with wrapping the led strips in foam inside the tube?
hi! its an awsome work you did with the leds, only a question, how i code or program the sounds and lights? i want to start the project but also adding the other side to make like darth moul saber, ty
its available on aliexpress... just search for 144led strip. You need 144 leds per meter of the strip. if u have a link to the 3d files he used could you please share it..thanks!
I know this comment is really late but some trivia for ya. The long lines that run up from the bottom of the handle were originally windshield wiper blades.

him: holds lightsaber by the blade
me: wait thats illegal
Guys what i have a question, what if someone with a vibranium arm holds a lightsaber by the blade?
@@gbrielmd i think vibrannium would be one of the many material that can resist lightsabers, like cortosis or mandalorian steel.
@@pedrogodoy8105 yeah i think like that too, i was just curious to know other peoples opinion about this
*fights with the blade as the handle*
Store the selected color in EEPROM, then load that memory at startup. EEPROM can store memory even when powered off.
hi will can i have some salsa
What a meeting!
I LOVE the pure joy when you first turn it on. That, in itself, is as inspiring as the build. :) Thank you for sharing.
Awesome job. it's always fun seeing the excitement in people's eyes when they complete a long term project they're really into. Happy May the 4th!
Thanks man!
is it legal?
wont it cut limbs off a human?
Of cource if he puts a plasma in next version
Fat Biker Vaibhav it will BEWARE!
He will make it legal
Don't worry...It wont unless you have the high ground.
Not if you paint it green and ground the PVC!
The on camera reaction to firing it was was totally awesome. This project was amazing and I want to build a lightsaber now.
The sounds take this project to 11. Super impressive Bob!
:) Thanks Peter!
Peter Brown dang BOTH my favorite youtubers in one comment section! And great build! This was amazing!
Peter Brown hey Pete can you make this out of resin?
I think you should turn Bob a lightsaber handle to go with version 2 :-) Perhaps a little resin number full of midichlorians
Black resin with aluminum shavings again? Death handle!
When he’s even got the obi-wan look

He's more of a Mysterio

Best intro ever.
RIGHT?!? Nailed it!
I thought there was something wrong at first.... but it was so right! Haha great intro!
Hey man great project, small tip for you when going for a metallic spray finish the coat before should be a gloss black as it really adds to the shiny metallic finish 👍
Good call!
My fave moment is the happy laugh when you switch it on when it's finished. Totally cool diy.
I like how delighted he is when the saber finally worked
:)
Wow! This is soooooo cool!! I was so surprised how bright it was when you turned it on the end. Great job
I really enjoyed this,the only thing I’d do differently is make the tip of the lightsaber rounded
In the prequels and I think the sequels, it's a bit more pointy then the OT
MrMrFlamingo yeah but it’s still not flat lol
How did you-
I’d just do that plus, have a more detailed hilt.
When i saw this in my notifications I was so excited
May the 4th be with you

I am one with the 4th and the 4th is with me
nice job, watching this really makes you appreciate the work that goes into making high-end sabers on the market

Being so "elite"... 1337
echundotcom what does 13:37 mean?

I keep yelling at Peter Brown about making an epoxy resin lightsaber
a video on May 4 (that's 13:37 long) about making a light saber - how nerdy! ;-)
I do what I can :)
Should have aimed for 11:38
grossstadthengst it is nerdy but if you are gonna do some modeling then this is very cooler
I don't get the 1337 part...
if you don't get the 1337 part you must not be "elite" enough.
Looking back, I really saw the pure joy and excitement radiated all over your face when you finally succeeded in the project. Congrats and really nice job!
I like how when you make projects you make it all one video and not 3 different videos. Thanks for doing that.. :)

I believe he used what is know as neopixel leds.
Don't remember exaclt, but i Guess it was rgb 5050 ws2812
