IFixit lightsaber disassembly: 10 out of 10 on the repair scale
The guys from iFixit got the lightsaber of the Jedi Knight and decided to see what was inside. Looking ahead, it is worth saying that the design of the sword was very logical, simple and practical. As a result, the team rated the device’s maintainability at 10 points on a 10-point scale.
It was also easy to disassemble the sword, however, there were a couple of difficult moments.
Step 1. Design and dimensions
Crystal: adegan
Length: 15.8 cm
The handle is removed quite simply, while the crystal, the focus of the Force, is immediately visible.
Step 2. Leave the crystal for later
Before you open the crystal, remove everything that is on the handle. The design is quite simple and practical - just remove one mount and the handle can be disassembled.
At the same time, you can see the DC port for charging the device - the connector is visible very well. It is recommended that you deactivate the button that turns on the sword. Otherwise - Sith happens.
Step 3. Continue disassembling
Step 4. Remove the emitter
Step 5. We get to the crystal
Step 6. Blade Generator
Step 7. Activator
Step 8. Batteries
There are no Li-ion batteries. Only diatom batteries, only hardcore.
Step 9. Sith happens
No, no, all is well, the guys from iFixit claim that nothing happened. But we know ...
Step 10. Here it is, the crystal
Yes, such crystals are mined in a remote star system, so you need to work with it very carefully, it will be very difficult to find a replacement.
By the way, Jedi enemies use synthetic crystals.
Step 11. Finish disassembling the sword
Step 12. Conclusions
Remontability of the sword - 10 out of 10. No difficulties (except the loss of the hand by one of the team members) arose. But these are trifles.
And so, the sword is disassembled by ordinary, basic tools. No glue, no hidden fixtures.
May the Force be with you!
