For this build I wanted the layout of the chamber to somewhat follow a linear progression of how a real light saber might function i.e Power source--crystal chamber--energy modulation circuits
However I didn’t want a bunch of wires running willy-nilly so I decided to make a hidden route for them.
first off the power source. Tim's pommel inserts and some nylon washers constitute the bulk of the chamber construction
A little heat shrink makes the rods more appealing, don't you think?
Square led for the chamber illumination and now we get to the good stuff
A false leg of the chamber supports hides the wires nicely.
A spacer and another modified washer/insert combo and the chamber is complete
This support is removable so I can access the SD card.
Now the speaker and a little rod clean-up. everything bolts together securely
Let's hide some more wires!
I love tubes on my sabers, I think they look cool, this time I wanted to make it a bit more than a superficial add-on so I ran the AV switch wires through it.
Decided to go for one of the new shorter illuminated AV switches, so I had to run some more wires.
30 gauge FTW
Plenty of room in the emitter for blade and main LED wires.
A nice crystal and a rubber grommet.
Ta-da!
Thanks for checking it out.
