Knex Lightsaber Design

Hello there,

I made a knex lightsword design. Due interest I decided to post instructions for this. Its the first instructable that I have made, so if something is unclear or not good, feel free to say so :)

P.S. Im not English :d

Part list:
4 black rods
4 small grey gears
4 grey connectors
1 small wide wheel

2 orange connectors (in brown)
3 white connectors (in black)
8 red connectors (in grey)
2 yellow connectors (in white)
9 white rods (in black)
3 green rods (in black)
2 yellow rods (in grey)
1 black rubber band (from trekker set I think)
1 red knex man hand

yellow blade:
32 yellow connectors
31 yellow rods

white blade:
43 white connecters
88 white connecters
3 grey rods
13 grey connecters

This has been a really fun project to do!

I hope you liked it :)
Please Rate & Comment :)

And Be Creative!

you should try to make the insyructions a little more detailed, but otherwise pretty cool

that white light saber is hard to make..

[the master 2]

What does the rubber band do?

[NatNoBrains]

Your mom

[hedzup456]

you should try and make a system where when you press the switch the blade comes off.
That would be sweet
Im building know!
YAY!
I hope you listen to my idea

[Kairah]

Just slide it on the 8-connector.

[Kairah]

Thank you :)

[s0lekill3r]

Thanks for posting instructions, I'll build this tomorrow.

[Kairah]

No problem :) What colour are you going to make it?

[s0lekill3r]

Yellow or green.

[jollex]

Green is hard to make, just a head's up :)

[Shadowman39]

Making it metallic green would be easier.

[Dante9030]

just spray paint it

[Mr. Muggle]

Evil. :-P

[jollex]

Stalker.

[DJ Radio]

:-P Im talking about how red lightsabers are used by bad guys in star wars.

[jollex]

And I'm talking about how you reply to every comment I make, lol :P

[DJ Radio]

I dont reply to every comment you make, that would take forever. :-P

[Madrias357]

Good one. Though, I'd be on Jollex's side. Give me a week, I'm making one... My way. *Evil grin*

[Kairah]

Thanks :) Yea I tried to make a red one before to, (not with the black connecters though).. but it was kind of flimsy as well. The blue one looks good though :P

[jollex]

I didn't like the look of the red one, and it was weak, so I made a blue one.

[knexjay]

funny its like saying that i hated the red mustang u bought so i made u get me a blue one tee-hee btw i was almost done with my blue one :D D:

[DJ Radio]
