Essence - Finally Finished

[solaren]

Finished this up just in time for Halloween but got lazy about taking pictures. Worked on it off and on since February, took a lot of experimentation to get everything to work together. Partial build thread: Here.

Essence
by Dawnchaser Sabers

Specs
MHS V1 Hilt with some Dremel-Fu, Copper and Oil-Rubbed Bronze enamels
Prizm v3.5
RGB Tri-Cree with RICE editing
Crystal Chamber with color matching RGB LED
Custom 3D printed chassis
18650 Li-Ion 3.7V Battery with Pommel recharge port

Glams



















Here is the chassis I designed for the saber. The crystal chamber pieces are aligned and secured using the two pieces to the right. Board, battery, and speaker in the large middle piece. The piece on the left holds the speaker in place, provides LED holders for the pommel and allows me to attach the MPS insert with the recharge and rice ports to the chassis.

Very nice. I especially like the etching under the shroud.

Love the small details to the crystal chamber and the overall look of the saber, nicely done.
3D printing the chassis is something i didnt think about, you can add nice details.
