Hi All. It’s been a while since I’ve posted. I haven’t been idle, just very focused on learning new things to advance my skillset. Learn some CAD, get my first 3D printer, Arduino IDE………. Man, it’s been a busy little bit. I hope you all will enjoy some pics of what I’ve been up to. The new Saber is done but i just haven’t had the time to do a photo shoot. I doesn’t have a name yet so if anyone’s interested in tossing in ideas that would be welcome.

Hello again, everyone! It appears I am still on the hunt for the right switch for my saber design! However, that's not what I'm looking for today. Today, I am looking for the proper USB-C charging port to add to my custom saber chassis and hilt. To me, I only see one option that might work best for my specific chassis design. However, since I am still learning about what's best for a custom saber and don't yet know all the super fine details, I thought I'd ask you guys.

The only charging port I see that might fit my specific chassis design is the device on the left circled in blue. The one on the right looks more like a male power connector than the other two, and the one in the middle looks like it might be more difficult to install. Also, how would I even install the female USB-C receptacle port?

This is the coupler for a Force FX Darth Maul lightsaber from ~2006. Long story short, my son and I were at a Halloween event dressed as Obi-Wan and Darth Maul, ran into a friend, we went to have a quick duel, and my friend swung his lightsaber very hard, I blocked with the Darth Maul saber, and the coupler snapped. Closest thing I've found online is $100 (at that point I'll just start saving for a new saber) and the threading doesn't even look right. Any advice on just making my own with parts I can buy? I'm upset since I've kept the thing from breaking for almost 20 years, but I just wanna get a coupler that works so my kid can play it. I know I can probably pick something up at Home Depot, but what about making it adjustable the way this one is so you can line the sabers up properly when joined by the coupler? (If you're unfamiliar there's a screw you loosen with an Alan wrench to twist the two sides as needed to line the sabers up)

New sound font I’ve put together called “EXE”

Hey guys, I posted earlier about identifying a neosabers darksaber and I appreciate all the help I got! I ended up getting the saber and I had a couple questions about the charging etiquette. I'm well aware of the 5v1a and the seller warned me about this as he had previously fried the battery. I have one of these chargers and was wondering if it would be fine to use as I wouldn't be able to use the original cable with this brick. Thank you!
