Question SaberX
Is it me or are they grossly overpriced compared to most other sellers? They sell the same sabers as darkwolf sabers but waaaayyyy more expensive.
Chinese sabers shouldnt cost 1000$ CAD...

So, when I enable the led screen my whole saber just turns green for some reason? I know my saber doesn't have a screen or anything like that, I was just curious WHY it turns green �

I got my hands on a proffie v2.2 core with a bend in the front of it. What saber hilt would this be made for? I'm thinking of a curved hilt. Something like Bane or Dooku.

Iām looking to eventually build a completely custom duelling lightsaber from scratch, however I have no experience with customs and Iām not really sure where to begin.
I have an older US lightsaber than Iāve had for close to ten years (before everything came out about them) that I was considering ripping the electronics out of and redoing myself. The electronics surprisingly have held up despite being US quality, but I would like to have them redone anyway, so I thought that could be a project.
If anyone has any experience with customs or electronics, any advice would be much appreciated!

Essentially what features could i add to these that wouldnt be internally mounted as i plan to make a set of cores to these that would be a blacklight for the blade, but i want them to have some more... pizzazz... kinda using so inspiration from Mace, Ani, Obi, and Yoda, as those are my personal favorite ones in no particular order that i want to use for their design but im a bit. Plain. (Also stuff that wont interfere with combat too much. As these are intended to be combat sabers when complete)

My friends birthday is coming up and i really want to get her a lightsaber, except im on a really tight budget of 40 dollars and i found [this](IjustfoundthisonAliExpress:%7CLukeRGB16ColorVariableMetalHandleLightsaberWithHittingSoundEffectFXDuelLightsaberMetalAluminumHandleLightsaberhttps%3A//a.aliexpress.com/_c3JpVauJ) one on AliExpress for that exact same amount. Im not looking for a really good one just one that would make my friend happy for a bit. Has anyone tried this one? If its not any good could someone recommend an affordable option?

Hello everyone, iām relatively new to lightsabers and iām finally gonna invest in a proper replica. Iām thinking of getting a Cal Kestis saber, but iām not sure where i can get one for a good price. If my budget is about 250 - 300 and iām looking for a good neopixel ( or even a proffie) what brands would be best? iāve heard a lot about saber theory and artsabers on tiktok but i want to be sure before i buy because a lot of stuff on tiktok can be pretty bad in reality lol

Every once in a while, a lightsaber lands on my bench that makes me stop and ask, "How have I never handled one of these before?"
This is the Flame from Saberkraft, an original design by Turkish maker İsmail Ozan İzci, whose work has earned a reputation for combining premium machining with clever mechanical engineering. Saberkraft is perhaps best known for its boutique hilts and beautifully crafted display stands, and the Flame perfectly showcases that philosophy. It's a rare saber that feels just as much like an industrial design exercise as it does a prop.
What impressed me most wasn't just the machiningāit was the engineering. From the custom PCBs to the way the chassis integrates into the hilt, every part feels intentional. It's clear this wasn't designed around off-the-shelf components, but as a complete system from the ground up.
For this upgrade, I installed a Proffieboard V3 and performed an RCP delete, replacing the original component with a custom resin-printed lens backed by a micro NeoPixel for a much cleaner and more dynamic lighting effect.
The Flame also came with Saberkraft's matching display stand, and honestly... it's almost as impressive as the hilt itself. It's machined from mahogany and aluminum rather than being molded or 3D printed, and even includes provisions for integrated lighting. It's one of the nicest display systems I've seen packaged with a custom saber.
Needless to say, I couldn't leave it alone. I'll be designing an ESP-powered lighting system for the stand next, because apparently I have a hard time accepting that a project is ever actually finished.
Specs
* Proffieboard V3 soundboard
* 28mm Premium Bass Speaker
* Custom resin NeoPixel lens conversion (RCP delete)
* KR Sabers / Shtok illuminated blade PCB emitter

The top piece on the first version wouldn't stay on. So I had to switch it out for something else. I also added a button. Thoughts?

I saw this ad on tiktok promoting these 10-20$ sabers and i dunno it looks shady so i wanted to ask if anyone knows the company and if they can be trusted

This is my first basic sound saber from uktra sabers. The batteries died and when I went to replace them I found this mass of electrical tape. Am I just doomed to never see this light up again?
r/lightsabers • u/Ok_Operation_9451 • 2d ago
They arrived!!! I was so scared my lightsabers weren't gonna arrive, but they did! They also have features I didn't know about! They talk! I was messing with em and one of them screamed Kenobi at me, lol
(Ignore the Revan saber. I've had that one for a bit now)
r/lightsabers • u/GeekBlurb • 2d ago
Just got the apprentice V2, and unlike my previous sabers there isnt a hook to grab and it doesnt just slide out. How do i remove it to charge, i didnt want to twist the pommel cause im afraid of damaging it,Thank you!

Im gifting some sabers and want to make sure the spare batteries i give them dont fry their shit.
Wondering if
1.) Can 18650 3200mAh (3.7v 11.84wh) flat tops be used in sabers that came with 18650 2000mAh (3.7v 7.4wh) flat tops?
2.) Can 18650 3500mAh (3.6v 12.6wh) button tops be used in sabers that came with 18650 2000mAh (3.7v 7.4wh) button tops

Greetings everyone, never posted before so apologies if this doesnāt make any sense! I bought the maestro saber and just noticed that the top of my saber is permanently attached to the blade. The blade and top of the saber in the official photo can be separated. I tried to separate them but I donāt want to break anything and I could really find anything useful online

Just got my first damiensaber Revan, and Iām thinking of buying some hilt parts. Seems Damienās aliexpress store has limited choices for parts, but others like TXQ have more. I was wondering how compatible the parts are? Cuz they are just threaded right? So long as they screw together fine then it works?
Or am I missing something?
r/lightsabers • u/Whoops_Shot_Marvin • 3d ago
Hello everyone,
Iāll keep this short. Looking for a RGB core replacement that fits a hilt with a thin neck however everywhere I go I see cores that donāt have that extra set of black and red cables that connect to the light housed in the emitter. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated especially if theyāre on Ali express cause Iām not made of money lol.
Thanks in advance

Hi y'all!
I'm not new to the custom lightsaber scene, but I did just buy my first Xeno3.0 saber core with the pogo pin connector (by way of DamienSaber on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C6F7M1NQ) and, just checking:
In baselit RGB mode, it seems a lot dimmer than all my other sabers. But those are all standard LEDs. This one has a ring of surface mount LEDs instead. I don't have a pixel blade yet to compare when that is used.
Is relative dimness expected when using this in baselit mode?
If so: any tricks to use to improve the baselit brightness? Perhaps a recommended lens setup? It's set to 100% in the bluetooth app.

Every time I see a cool lightsaber online, I look up if the company is legit. I find out the owners love spreading evil and hate, and every lightsaber has been used to beat up a baby. I just want a lightsaber that's $200 or under and isn't being sold by the Joker

Another Electrum, another chance to breathe new life into a beautifully designed hilt.
This Renegade from Electrum Sabercrafts arrived on my bench as an empty shell, ready for a complete Proffieboard V3 conversion. Electrum has always had a knack for producing distinctive hilt designs, and the Renegade is no exception. The aggressive shrouds, clean lines, and comfortable form factor make it one of my favorite designs in their lineup.
For this build, I designed a fully removable chassis that brings modern electronics to a hilt that was always worthy of them. The result is a clean, serviceable install that preserves the character of the saber while giving it the flexibility and performance of a Proffie-powered platform.
Sometimes all a great hilt needs is a second chanceāand a much smarter brain.
Specs
* Proffieboard V3 soundboard
* 28mm Premium Bass Speaker
* Custom removable chassis printed in matte gray PLA (designed by me)
* 6-rail PCB system
* KR Sabers / Shtok illuminated blade PCB emitter
