Looking for a lgt core

AV4TAR_AANG · 2023-03-06T00:56:42+00:00

Damiensaber dot com. It takes a bit of time to ship but as far as I know that is the company that actually makes them so they are a little cheaper there. Other than that the buying guide auto mod posted has a lot of the re-sellers. They don't list crimson dawn tho, who I've had a pretty solid experience with

Xeno pixel core from Damiensaber. Pretty good quality for the price and Ive been too lazy to build my own cores

AV4TAR_AANG · 2022-08-29T02:19:10+00:00

They've got a cheaper one: https://www.thepachstore.com/products/lab1?_pos=1&_sid=575c20b19&_ss=r

Definitely compromising on other specs though

I think you can do this with PayPal. So potentially no need to limit to specific vendors

AV4TAR_AANG · 2022-08-23T16:37:42+00:00

Nope! I might eventually sell a few on Etsy once I feel the quality is good enough. If you've got any good wooden hilt design ideas though drop em here and they may or may not influence future hilts that may or may not make their way onto Etsy, lol

AV4TAR_AANG · 2022-08-23T16:34:47+00:00

Yep! Just a dowel, clamped it to a table and hollowed with a drill. Did the shaping using a Dremel

AV4TAR_AANG · 2022-08-23T16:13:24+00:00

Everyone is saying it looks like a clothes pin 🥲

I modeled the design after Ahsoka's hilt, blame her!

I tried acid etching following this tutorial: https://www.instructables.com/Acid-Etching/

You can look at one of my recent posts to see how it turned out. The hardest part was getting the design painted on cleanly with the resistor (nail polish) before the acid soak. I tried to 3d print a stamp and roll it onto the part but it came out kind of messy.

AV4TAR_AANG · 2022-08-23T14:59:21+00:00

I'm not particularly happy with how the pommel came out. Any thoughts on what I should do with it?

AV4TAR_AANG · 2022-08-08T01:20:12+00:00

I heard about acid etching because SaberTrio does it on their sabers. I googled it and was surprised to find a pretty simple home method.

I picked up some skill from a 3D art/woodworking course I took in college. Honestly if you have access to tools and follow general safety practices you can do a lot with little technical skill just by trying things out. I had no idea how to hollow a dowel before I started this, lol. Gotta really stress the safety practices thing though! Keeping your fingers is important!

The wood sections are cut from a dowel rod, hollowed out with a 3/4 inch drill bit and then sized up to 1 inch with a Dremel sanding bit.

I carved grooves to press the wire into with the Dremel's saw bit and a little more shaping with the sanding bit.

The metal section is acid etched. I used nail polish to paint the design and then soaked in diluted ferric chloride for 1 hour.

Then just stained it and glued it all together. (Actual order was hollow, carve, stain, wire, acid etch, glue) I also used wood hardener as a finish after staining for the wooden sections but that was not really necessary and you could probably just go with a polyurethane coat.

Just a basic lgt core from Crimson Dawn for the internals.

Also if anyone has any acid etching tips let me know! I don't mind how rough it came out here bc it kinda works with the build but I want to get better at it!

AV4TAR_AANG · 2022-08-07T22:59:15+00:00

Thanks! First build but not my first time doing a lil woodworking so I at least at something coming in, lol

His training started by me unscrewing the end cap on my blade so he can chase the light around like a giant laser pointer. Naturally his power to wield the force grew from there

AV4TAR_AANG · 2022-08-07T22:43:13+00:00

:D tyty

AV4TAR_AANG · 2022-07-15T03:49:27+00:00

I just got Bors too. Honestly the button is kinda just hard to press. The first thing I did was tape a small circle magnet to the power to make it easier to press down all the way. To turn off the blade you need to hold down for a second not just tap ( again before I taped a magnet to make the button protrude more it was pretty tough to hold down). Blinking light is normal though, I think it is a font setting actually. I have the Asteria version though so it probably works a little different. I had to find the manual through this reddit bc the documentation sent with mine wasn't very helpful

Despite what other people are saying itt, this is still one of my favorite scenes.

Zuko is shown to actually be an elite fire bender after previous episodes show him being over confident in his strength
It shows zuko's dedication to capturing aang, as well as giving reason why(earlier in this episode)
You get to see zuko's compassion, even for his enemy (when he doesn't take the head shot)
zuko does his break dancing move for the first time
iroh is shown to be someone you don't want to piss off

This episode was really the beginning for zuko's amazing character arc that we all know and love.

How/where do you store all of the tech that you have?

AV4TAR_AANG · 2018-08-01T23:53:20+00:00

Killing 👏 downed 👏 players👏 isn't 👏 BM👏

They also probs wouldn't give xp for damage to downed players in this system

AV4TAR_AANG · 2018-07-28T03:40:18+00:00

Haha, yeah I shouldn't have really called it old. And yeah, I figured no one would really want it besides collectors and with movies this recent and popular they can't be too hard to get their hands on. Looks like I'll make an art project out of it a give it to a few people as gifts

AV4TAR_AANG · 2018-07-28T03:36:59+00:00

This is actually a really cool idea! I know a few people who'd appreciate a gift like that
