    Default DJ unleashes: Shockwave

    Well this saber has been in building phaze for about 2 months now. this has beent he hardest most complex saber i have built to date. the hilt was designed and machined by Tava @ mandalorian mercs and I and I installed the electronic. this is my first saber to feature a color changing blade. 14 colors per side. it takes full use of the RGBA LEDs. i wired the RGB up to the rotary switch and then the amber on a seperate circuit. there are so many different colors its amazing. this is also my first saber to have a crystal chamber and this is also my first staff. alot of first for me. i broke some HUGE milestones here for myself. the AV switches were probably the hardest since i had to machine some thick washers for the red switches so the bolts would clear each other. the crystal chamber is custom cut real quarts crystal and looks beautifull.

    well time for specs. hope you like.

    entirely custom machined and engraved hilt
    2 li ion 18650s
    custom delrin battery holders
    2 recharge ports
    10w RGBA LEDs

    tri color quarts crystal chamber (RED, BLUE, and PURPLE)
