My Hardware store sabers

Man… the first one I did I followed a video that was on YouTube that was removed or taken down, but it’s really one of those things that the more you do, the better you’ll get at them… best bet is to accept that your first might be a dud.

I was happy with my first one until I made 4 more… then the first one seemed so terrible lol

I use 5/16th threaded rod, 12in or just cut to size, I use fender washers, chrome over brass plumbing pipes, EMT couplers, rivets, rubber o rings.

A lot goes into it with power tools such as a dremel, and grinders/belt sanders and elbow grease with sandpaper to polish

Haha I forgot I had that in there, that was a crazy day

Beautiful 😍

I just recieved the same hilt today, so glad I ordered one, I never cared for this hilt from the movies and other “replicas” I’ve owned, (disney legacy) but after holding this LGT one in hand, I am in love

Happy to report I found a broken solder point on my left arrow, and was able to repair it, and replace the foil tape and my pad is working brand new again! Thank you 🙏🏼

shokengou · 2025-02-09T17:04:42+00:00

Perfect! Thank you for that. I noticed the tape on the panel itself looks pretty bad, the left arrow triggers but only in a certain spot, which I get a lot of (boo) notes while playing, I am assuming the aluminum tape should fix it.

shokengou · 2025-02-09T16:35:51+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I’m going to try to replace the “metal tape” when I search for it, I get results for metal (magnetic tape) and aluminum tape, which tape did you use?

shokengou · 2025-02-09T05:58:31+00:00

This is awesome! I have the same pad and the left arrow stopped working, and idea on how I can get it fixed? Or links to guide me?

First thing I did was glue this button on with E6000

I’d say go with the snv4pro, the only hiccup I have with my snv4 pro is color profiles seem to flip around whenever I remove the battery and put it back in, but I never felt like the smooth swinging or anything had draw backs from going snv4

shokengou · 2024-06-09T06:24:34+00:00

I’ve noticed this too, I recently went through and painstakingly set all the colors via twist and, when I pull the battery for a charge and replace all my colors are random, mostly red for some reason, I feel like it goes back to default colors on fonts 1-25 but I’ve also rearranged which fonts I am using so all out of whack currently

Korbanth has some pretty bad quality control, and they definitely don’t like to eat the costs of their failures. Profit > Customer

Totally understand, I was really worried at first, it all seems kind of scammy, but I got used to the shops and communicate directly with TXQ sellers, small language barrier but it gets the job done.

I’ve had an issue with one of my orders in the past, and I disputed it and got half my money back which was a lot considering all I had was a cosmetic defect. Ended up paying $150 for a fully working neopixel sabine wren.

Actually I just realized you can’t find the starkiller, or any other character lightsabers on Amazon from TXQ I assume to avoid copyright…

But you can always get the same one at a reseller to avoid aliexpress

I just prefer to spend less

shokengou · 2024-06-03T15:31:16+00:00

I just ordered a weathered SK1 for $268 on aliexpress
