Hello friend. I followed that link and read about the board. There is a lot of great stuff there, but let me address a couple concerns. First, at present I only make blasters and not light sabers so I have no need for the motion detection. Secondly, the costs is higher than buying the three boards so when room is not an issue it seems wasteful to me. Thanks, Ray

Thank you friend. I appreciate that. I think I will add that tidbit to my ad. Thank you kind sir.

Sell it then Mickey. They don't last long in my inventory and the one I saw sold here PDQ from a similar members circumstance. Some people just don't have the talent for building. If you would have watched the videos on the build you may not have over estimated your skills. Not trying to be smart, just factual. Seriously, sell it to someone that will appreciate it. Lots of troopers do. Sincerely, Ray

So can anyone here verify the qualifications of my blaster for "Centurion?" I know it meets level 2, but I'm not sure above that. Of course, if it does not? I will fix it. "Build it and they will come."

WOW, you go Corporal Eric! Fabulous job.

My trigger group and grip as well as every part of the E-11 I offer on ebay has been re-designed in cooperation with 501st members and using reference material found on this web site. It is no longer inaccurate in any way. Maybe I was wrong for saying "most accurate model" in my previous V1 ads, but that is just marketing. I can certainly claim this now. I (and others) consider mine to be compared to a Master Replica. Don't take my word for it, just check out my feedback on ebay. Hundreds of fans gushing adulations. As for the price? Consider it takes over 70 hours of print time for one kit and I base my price on that. I think my market research shows it is a great price which I am told very often. Well I just wanted to clear that up. Oh, and if Doopy's are so great, why have I sold so many to the UK? And Australia is blowing up with my blasters.

Hi, I'm the guy selling these on eBay. I was shocked to see some of the comments here since I have over 100 troopers using my blaster and can't stop bragging about it. I think some of the comments here MUST be about my earlier version 1. The re-design in cooperation with Legion members has negated the complaint that it is not screen accurate. It is near perfection with only strength considerations in changing dimensions. ie: the rail needed to be thicker not being metal. It is in no way "fragile." The changes we made make it the most accurate model out there since we used only reference material found here on this site. I wish you would go to the ebay Ad and check out my feedback. Hundreds of glorious adulations can not be wrong, but these guys might be. In all honesty, it is a lot of work to build my blasters. But I thought anything worth doing, was worth doing well. And nothing worth while is ever easy. It takes me 3 to 4 days to build one so a couple weekends and it should be done, right? And how many places offer video tutorials on building there products? I do, on my YouTube channel. FB E-11 blaster guy

Hello, I'm not sure how many of you have heard of me A.K.A. Rayabear. I've been selling blasters now for almost a year on eBay to well over 100 extremely satisfied 501st members around the world. Recently after a three month re-design of my model to include accommodations for electronics that was done in cooperation with a very clever 501st member in Ohio who designed an inexpensive electronics light/sound kit which he sells to me. I not so interested in the insignificant profits I make from the e-kits and would rather there be a DIY thread. I've already started sourcing switches and such, maybe I could offer a DIY package? Although well designed and inexpensive, our e-kit is far inferior and lacks many features. Also, he is having a hard time keeping up production resulting in me being out of stock more than in. He does his best but this is a side thing for him where it's my whole life. I'm really not interested in manufacturing these myself. Sorry for being long winded. The reason for this thread is I would like to again change the design of my model to fit an Arduino system very similar to your (TK8177) have designed here. I am very much a novice at Arduino having only one experience with it when I created a 5 axis robotic arm with a mega 2560. So I guess this is a call to arms. I need help with this. I would like to form a collective with a few individuals to help me with the Arduino side of things especially. My programming skills are practically non-existent. And I have a breadboard, and I can solder in my sleep but I know almost nothing of electronics. Google is my beast friend. If you are interested in helping out please contact me. Thanks, RayAbear
