I think you are going to need to be more specific than that. In any case crystal chambers tend to be highly specific to the build.
Only on parts that dont 'truly' screw together..Quote:

Are you referring to the ones that pop open when you 1/4 turn of hilt prices? If so the builder has a build log on his site where he shows most of the steps but leaves out some of the engineering and machining work so you can't blatantly copy it.Quote:

Now you went and made it all easy-like for him to find the smith. But his walk through does give the principle...you just have to do the engineering to figure out your own latching and release geometry.Quote:

I am referring to the saberforge like ones.I know not to make beyers one.
As far as I know the only crystal chamber that maker does is in his monarch & that is static, it doesn't move, it's just open, like Starkiller's
what about the crystal son and redeemer?
I honestly don't pay much attention to this company (heard way too many bad things about them), but I just looked thru some reviews of the crystal reveal redeemer & I also looked at their website, IMO 150 bucks is a tad expensive for a function that only LOOKS good. Honestly, look thru real reviews of the company & read up a bit more here & other saber communities & you'll find that most people have a very low opinion of this particular sabersmith, his product & his services.
okay thanks for the help
