The "rebirth" of Phauxcassius

THE "REBIRTH" OF PHAUXCASSIUS

Recently, I agreed to fix/upgrade a saber for a builder on another forum, who needed the saber done fairly soon, and by an experiences Sabersmith. It had stopped working and was in fairly rough shape.

Most of the "repair" and re-engineering was for the accent LED's (which no longer worked), replacing the recharge port, and adding a modified chassis to properly house the CF and CEX. It received a new (and slightly different pommel), and after doing some re-wiring, and reconfiguring, here is Phauxcassis. If you think the saber looks familiar, it was originally made as an homage to Vader's Vault's Occasius.

The GLAMS:
CF v6
CEX
Custom designed TCSS chassis
RGB Tri-(Cree?) LED
Accent LEDs - Amber - Red - Blue - 5mm RGB
14650 battery
28mm 2W Bass speaker

Nice! I'm guessing this was your exhausting cram-fu session?

Yeah, the hilt is only 10 inches long.

Wow. Looks like the accent leds are counting in binary.

I didn't set them up, or touch the SD card contents for that matter. I just redid the wiring (and replaced parts) to make sure the whole thing was working properly again.

Nice one FJK! I'm liking the switchplate-shroud.

Great piece of work JFK!

very pretty and I bet it operates beautifully now, after you've had your hands on it.

Yes it does, and it's a bit more robust now than what it was.

Wow 10 inches with all those Accent LEDs? that is some SERIOUS cram-fu!
