I made this lightsaber. It has a yellow blade. Film at 11:00. 🎥 That is all. #StarWars #Disneyland #Lightsaber #SavisWorkshop #GalaxysEdge #Jedi #Sith #Huyang  @SavisWorkshop @disneyland

May the Fourth be with you!

The Lightsaber build at Savi's Workshop is a lot of fun, and you can create some really unique shots afterward.

I decided to keep the electronics super simple for this quick proof of concept test. Instead of a #neopixel + #arduino, I’m just using a flickering LED. I did go ahead and solder my usual wire connectors so I can swap in something different later (and to also test how much room I’ve got to work with in there. Spoilers: not much. XD) #starwars #customlightsaber #lightsaber #galaxysedge #batuu #blackspireoutpost #savisworkshop #dokondars #legacylightsabers #starwarsmerch #drillBabyDrill #princessleia #jedileia #lukeskywalker #electronics #arduino #led #pinout #vector #cad #3dmodeling #makerbot #3dprinting #soldering https://www.instagram.com/p/CP1YtltLId-/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland? Is the best. Thing. Ever.

I loved every second and didn’t want to leave. It was beautiful and epic and my dear ginger darling General Hux was in it and I was so happy 😁

As a bonus we ran into Kylo like a billion times at Galaxy’s Edge, I was interrogated by Stormtroopers before heading into Savi’s Workshop to make my lightsaber, and I ran into Rey wearing my Knights of Ren shirt and she hoped it was merely a disguise because she could sense much good in me lol.

Also Natalie Portman was at Galaxy’s Edge too, and the Property Brothers were filming so it was a pretty amazing time!

P.S. I went on Space Mountain for the first time and I puked. Coincidentally that will be my last time riding Space Mountain.

I went to Star Wars galaxys evdge and made a lightsaber.

Honestly it was one of most incredible experiences I’ve had.

Highly recommend if you’re a Star Wars fan

We are one with the force and the force is with us 😉✨

This day was the sweatiest of the week, but it turned out being one of the most fun and hectic but absolutely the best time. I think it’s hilarious that we made sabers opposite of what we each were wearing. I love you across all the galaxies ✨🖤✨🖤✨🖤✨🖤✨🖤✨🖤✨ #waltdisneyworld #disneyworld #starwars #estarguars #orlando #hollywoodstudios #smugglersrun #millenniumfalcon #savisworkshop #droiddepot #lightside #darkside #theforce #droid #r2d2 #r2unit #bbunit #lightsaber #saber #iamonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme #galaxysedge #disneylife #jedi #sith #disneyphotography #wdw (at Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge, Disney’s Hollywood Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4qvhJ4gWBl/?igshid=1gnnupmtpdw6q

Project Recap: Porgsaber

Of course, one of my very first goals was to make my own custom kyber crystal. While I'd love to eventually make a custom resin cast crystal (or even insert an RFID tag into a REAL gemstone crystal), ultimately this was the best (ie most delightfully ridiculous) choice to begin the new era of custom kybers.

Hattip to the amazing community on the Galaxy's Edge Discord #makerspace and #lightsabers channels. This idea came about from a silly convo about custom kybers and the ethics of what custom/third party items we'd like to make. We're sharing info about our projects in hopes of inspiring others to enjoy tinkering and learning more about interactive technologies with their own lightsabers too. :)

Recap:

Here's a short overview on how I made a working custom RFID kyber (porger!) crystal for my Elemental Savi's Workshop Lightsaber.

First and foremost: Do not try this at home. Results may vary. May contain peanuts. Please don't hurt yourself or your lightsaber. Be safe and read the safety instructions of any chemical, tool, or machine you use.

Second: This is probably not the best way to make a custom kyber crystal. Ideally, you'd want to order different, smaller RFID tags that are not glued into an existing enclosure.

Thanks to our previous research, we knew that any compatible EM4305 tag could be used to create an existing color kyber crystal (White, Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, or Purple), or one of the unreleased broken colors (Orange and Teal). By rewriting our new RFID's tag ID to match the colors we wanted, we would have a crystal-less kyber in need of an enclosure.

Note: Make sure you order REWRITABLE RFID tags.

The easiest compatible RFID tags to get ahold of quickly are these popular blue keyfob style tags. The catch is that they don't exactly look cool, or even really fit into the kyber holder on the saber hilt. RFID antennas are also very delicate, and did not survive Spork's attempt to remove them from their ABS plastic enclosure. I even tried soldering the antenna back to the chip, but no luck. (See above)

We had already ordered the correct solution of enclosure-less, smaller tags, but it was still weeks out away from delivery so... I figured it was a good time to try some science with all that extra waiting time.

Looking at the keyfob, it looked like the chip + antenna was being held in with either hot glue/adhesive or resin. I tried soaking it in both rubbing alcohol and mineral spirits to literally no effect, so I moved to acetone in hopes that the fob really was made out of ABS.

Ironically, the only glass containter I had was this one. Behold, the world's most dangerous glass of blue milk.

It immediately had effect, so I left it overnight. The next morning I was left with only a freed RFID chip, antenna, and some leftover glue.

I was as delightfully surprised as you are that the chip still worked and was readable using the Proxmark. Spork flashed my chip to display Orange, and now I was ready to make it a new home.

(I want to express again just how ridiculous this build was. I was in a rush trying to finish this before leaving town, so many, many shortcuts were taken.)

Being short on time, I downloaded a great existing Porg 3D model from Thingiverse to start from. Using Meshmixer, I removed the feet, hollowed out the model, and cut it in half. Initially the plan was to size the porg down smaller enough to fit through the 20mm clearance into the chamber, but no amount of quick tweaking could fit the 19.5mm RFID into a Porg that was still the correct size.

I knew I had to custom model another porg solution, but drastic times called for drastic measures: This is why my porger crystal has a glamorously stylish copper belt in the form of a very visible RFID antenna holding both parts together. Ha!

I 3D printed my two halves at a very low resolution for speed, did a quick acrylic drybrush of color, then literally scotch taped together and shoved it into my saber to test.

Somehow, against all odds, it works and it didn't even look half bad for a crazy proof-of-concept rush job. Concept is now officially proven, so I plan to make another higher resolution one with more patience once I'm back in town. :)

I absolutely love that the customization of your lightsaber doesn’t end once you’ve left Savi’s Workshop and that they gave us the ability to swap out kyber crystals to change our blade color. #savisworkshop #lightsaber #powerandcontrol #starwars #galaxysedge #batuu https://www.instagram.com/p/ByIm96kgyaE/?igshid=10lemo41pynlk
