At least you're smarter than me, in that aspect. I get overly excited for some projects, end up buying a shit ton of tools (Dremel, angle grinders & a shit ton of various discs, impact drills, etc.) and then rarely use them, after I fail to accomplish what I was trying to do :D
I do. Been building up a small workshop in my garage. People who watch DIY videos should at least have some type of saw. You can get things printed by 3d printing services if you don't have a printer.
That is the best Darksaber I have ever seen recreated. I love the colorful version you put there and man does it look good! You deserve more than you get man.
That was great. I'm waiting on my proffieboard too for a full custom saber. Unfortunatly, it's impossible to find Aluminium tube with the rigth diameter in France and i don't have a lathe. I'm gonna need to improvise.
A trick for running wire through a small space is to have a "guide dog" wire that you run through from the opposite end , then tape/tie the wires you need to run through the space to the guide dog and just pull then through. It's an old trick that electricians use to run wire bundles through conduit and should work like a charm for future builds for you.
The one in the Mandalorian series has a new design. It's not a completely new design, it's different so that it doesn't hurt you when you hold it for more than 3 minutes. It's more round.
An easy way to bypass the vinyl decal on the blade is to use rubber cement. Mask off the blade edge, and then paint on the rubber cement. When the glue dries, use your fingers to rub some of the glue back. This will give you a random pattern. After this, a basic flat black application from a rattle can will give you the same effect. Might I suggest using a polycarbonate instead of acrylic? The blade will last longer not just from bumps, but acrylic ages and becomes more increasingly brittle.
You should paint the black with black 3.0 it absorbs 99.9% of light and when ignited i think it whould absorb most light exept the white edges and it whould be even better, nice build btw
i loved the build amazing job. with the plexiglass there is a much much cheaper option for any of budget viewers you score the plexiglass with a razor blade a few times and snap it it will break perfectly and wont give you a frayed edged like cutting it will. Its a little tedious and takes a little practice but $1 razor blade > the $400 you spent on those tools
I forgot about the cricut lol. My ex has or had one. I used to play with it so much I made so many of those stickers that boost a cars horse power. (lol)
I don't like acrylic for lightsaber blades. It's a bit more expensive (I think) but use polycarbonate sheets instead. Much stronger and pretty much the same clarity and weight
I’ve been looking for this saber for a while that is also neopixel and no one has it I’m looking into making my own because of this video What is the person you talked about for the chassis
I tried calculating costs as best as I could. The cost for items $200-250 The cost for Bandsaw - $190 If I can find an alternative to cutting plexiglass so accurately without a bandsaw I might consider this😲
I was expecting a shitty in hilt led with a clear plexi glass blade... full neopixel was unexpected. I was planning to buy the ripper blades neopixel dark saber blade for my electrum Ebon Razor but now I might have to try this out.
Hey @ramennoodlesbudget where did u get the electronic kit to connect to the neopixeo light? I just want to make sure i bought the same one as u because im new to this 😊
Hey, RamenNoodlesBudget. I've heard that while John Carpenter was filming "Halloween." (1978.) before they decided for Michael Myers to wear a Trick-or-Treat Studios William Shatner Captain Kirk mask, originally they were going to have a Star Trek Spock mask instead. So I was wondering if you could convert a Trick-or-Treat Studios Star Trek Spock mask into a "What If?" look of the mask for Michael Myers, you know with the bigger eye holes, the dark brown hair, and spray painted fish belly white like in Halloween for John Carpenter's original version of the O.G. horror icon slasher if you have any time?
Has anyone tried applying a stencil (tape, etc) of the pattern to a regular round lightsaber blade? I have a few round blades and for my costume (my daughter and I match every year!) I was thinking of just using black vinyl or something around the blade. Not sure if I should wrap the whole blade and just pattern it out, or do half of each side and leave an open seam down the top and bottom. Thoughts?
It’s weird but I got the same files but my blade is 1.5” at the widest point. I verified the scale with the designer and he actually sent me STL files for the blade so I could print it in clear PLA. Not sure which width is more scale.
Step 1: Kill or beat the leader of Mandalore in a duel and claim the dark saber
Step 2: Rule
Step 3: get purged by the Empire
@@drmustacheofficial Step 4: [This step has been removed by the Empire.]
My dad makes me a darksaber
Me: the darksaber must be won in battle
@@Aimleesrat Guess you and your dad have a duel coming up. Take out their knee, its real hard to fight if you can't stand.
Imagine trying to kill the mandalorion
Step 1: get an entire workshop
Step 2 : get a crew
Step 3 get a huge loan
Step 4: get up your ass from the bed and start working
All four steps correct
Step 5: get the money and skills to actually figure out what we're doing
I like how I'm watching this knowing for a fact I'm never going to do this
Same here dude
Same

Dude, nice! By far the best Darksaber recreation that I’ve seen. Keep up the amazing work
Unclear, there's now a mandalorian called bo-katan currently following me!
It looks so fragile, but I just know that thing could probably be hard to snap
I know arcylic glas... smashing that against a wall would probably break it. He should have used Polycarbonate.
@@riesenfliegefly7139 polycarbonate unfortunately breaks just as easily in most sheet forms
Didn't they say earlier in the video that they actually broke the one made in the video and had to make a new one, pretty breakable.
@@laffinggas8068 I didn't even watch the entire vid I just skipped to the end lmao
This is awesome and all but like let’s be honest. No one has this in there house lul great vid 👍
I have one. And a DL-44 waiting for an electronic install that i will probably never do.
Well except for him the guy above or below me
Well DIY enthusiasts and lovers do, but your average person only really has a gaming set up
I do. Been building up a small workshop in my garage. People who watch DIY videos should at least have some type of saw. You can get things printed by 3d printing services if you don't have a printer.
Plenty of people do lol
Absolutely killed it bro! This was so good. The final product is just amazing.
yeah, thats amazing. Dope job

You are a genius. Best Darksaber I’ve seen.
You should paint the blade in Musou black! It should absorb the light coming off of the edges and make it look like a literal black hole.
Genius! Hope somebody tries this so I don’t have to 😂
thats what ima do

Nice job with the saber plus im glad you got the blade in right every official darksaber puts the blade in wrong
First of all, awesome pjs, and second...wow you totally got it right. It looks amazing!

Yes!!
and they say "oh, paaaaleeeeeeeeeease".
Lol
This is parody :)
The finer teeth of metal cutting jigsaw blades work really well for mitigating cracking in your acrylic
Mandalore wants to: *Know your location*
i did like the shape of the 3d printed one more as it was rounded but being a metal hilt is a much better selection. But that is a hell of a build
Looks badass! Best version I've seen so far!

That was amazing. I've printed a few different hilts but after watching your video, I want to start wiring blades. Great job.
Nice job, cool tutorial... well done and thank you for sharing the lightsaber/dark saber love!!!
16:32 when your hands were made from beskar steel
The true mandalorian weapon
For me, now u are the leader mandalorian
I would love to buy one from you!!
there is a Hasbro one that is a great toy and only $30 with the ignition but its perfect for dueling and for kids
More accurate than the Galaxys Edge saber
For future reference get a multi tool, it’s a vibrating handheld blade used in pvc cutting whereas a jigsaw snaps the plastic
Great work on the saber my friend you get an A+
For Mandalore!!!
Only the strongest shall rule.
The stache is a smash!
I forgot about the cricut lol. My ex has or had one. I used to play with it so much I made so many of those stickers that boost a cars horse power. (lol)
Thanks for this, man. My current income doesn't allow me to buy any of the high-end Darksaber replicas so this seems to be the next best thing for me!
A million times better than the ones they sell i wish they made an accurate one
😱😱😱😱😱 That was the sickest light Saber I've ever seen🖤 if you ever considering selling it I'm all in!! Merry Christmas from California.
It's not a lightsaber though it's a Darksaber ha ha ha
@@alexhetherington8028 🤣 you can tell I'm old!

I’ve been looking for this saber for a while that is also neopixel and no one has it
I’m looking into making my own because of this video
What is the person you talked about for the chassis
Very cool you are very skilled and it looks amazing
awesome build, you should sell them.
This is a great video and I love the commentary
I'm wondering how the blade would work with a standard saber and just the acrylic blade, if the light would dispers well???
Congratulations! What an amazing job!!
Great job Ricky
with acrylic, its easier to score and break it along the score line like glass sheet.
Could you make a video on the electronics of the dark saber?
Nice vid! Can you share the blade image for cutting?
Where did you get the template for the blade? And would you recommend dueling with the light saber
I Just got the LEDs you used. Would you mind suggesting a controller. Never used programmable LEDs before. Thanks!!
I tried calculating costs as best as I could.
The cost for items $200-250
The cost for Bandsaw - $190
If I can find an alternative to cutting plexiglass so accurately without a bandsaw I might consider this😲
This is RGB light saber. Word record!! Rarest light saber
I was expecting a shitty in hilt led with a clear plexi glass blade... full neopixel was unexpected. I was planning to buy the ripper blades neopixel dark saber blade for my electrum Ebon Razor but now I might have to try this out.

THE SACRED TEXTS
looks great man. good work
You should use some Musou Black Paint for the black part
Is the Hilt you are using for the build in the description below
It looks sturdy tbh. Could it handle light combat?
You should built Lowbacca’s lightsaber from Legends.
Has anyone tried applying a stencil (tape, etc) of the pattern to a regular round lightsaber blade? I have a few round blades and for my costume (my daughter and I match every year!) I was thinking of just using black vinyl or something around the blade. Not sure if I should wrap the whole blade and just pattern it out, or do half of each side and leave an open seam down the top and bottom. Thoughts?
Awesome build!
Looks awesome but I feel the blade is just like a millimeter off the perfect width and size overall. But Still really good none the less.
I thought the same
Great work. What brightness did you set the lights to? I find that I can't go to high before it over heats the Arduino and drains the battery.
That’s an amazing job.
Ого, а он реально стараеться! Определённо like!👍
great saber! can i find somewhere firmware for Proffie and wires scheme?
The man has a rave setting on his lightsaber
Great video!
EU ADOREI, EU ADOREI , EU ADOREI
Could you do a DIY tutorial of Moff Gideon blaster
Hi I’m looking to build my own darksaber how long should the blade be
i just love your sweater :D
That looks so awesome
Amazing work. I wish I could do it too... But I know that's just not happening ever hahaha
where did you find the script and the sound effects? :)
Amazing work....bravo!!!!!
Great video. Make look so easy
Great video! But I implore you to use safety glasses while using power tools!!!
It’s weird but I got the same files but my blade is 1.5” at the widest point. I verified the scale with the designer and he actually sent me STL files for the blade so I could print it in clear PLA. Not sure which width is more scale.
you beast! nice work.
Very well done!!!
Can you build a soul reaver wraith blade?
can you provide a link to where you got the chassis file? i want to make this saber and also what size pcb is that?
Nice job 👍
How much would you say all the parts/materials cost you?
16:46 his hand didnt rip... Im so confused
Superb!
_they do say that the Darksaber penetrates anything except Beskar._
*The right weapon to use to murder someone without getting blood on the floor.*
Fantastic work!
Nice moustache
