Is it possible to put custom made crystal chamber into Ultrsasaber Apprentice V4?

[Petar]

Wow!That's amazing,and by the way how great it looks,I'm not suprised it's $100 for printing alone,it is a truly work of art.
I was thinking to about getting this part for a crystal chamber:

Can i put that part in center of saber like in picture i put above (where red circle is)?
Also,do you perhaps know how can i make or where can i buy LED light that will glow in crystal?
I would be more then happy if i could have simple chamber from link above,amulet crystal for $1,and do what this guy in this video did(fast forward to 6:36)

It's cheap and exactly what i need.
Only problem is light-i don't know how can install light that can be switched On/Off and that will be small enough for chamber+it must be green (i want green lightsaber).

you can light the crystal chamber with a small 5mm or 3mm high brightness led, which is what the guy in the video did. You would wire the small led together with the main led for your blade, in a parallel wiring set up with appropriate resistance so when you turn on the saber the chamber led will light up as well.

You can also use parts in the store here to make your chamber....I've done it on a saber I've been working on over the last few months when I have time, and so far it look like this:

That is made using two chassis disc style 2 a couple of 4-40 x 2" socket head screws, and some brass hose barbs from the hardware store. The crystal mounts are from the lamp hardware section. I had to drill the chassis discs, though, so I would recommend having access to a drill press if you decide to go that route. The "top" brass hose barb is larger than the others, and will allow the wires to pass through to the front of the saber. That part is seated between the two discs in recessed holes I drilled on a drill press and the other two are held together by 4-40 rods and brass nuts, also from the store here at TCSS.

That style 3 is the part i'm going to use for my crystal chamber. Sweet looking CC you got going there Jay! Anyways as you can see with Jay's pic you can use any part to make your CC...just takes a little ingenuity. And like DC said ....you got a lot of reading and video watching to do. It will come to you....its not that hard.....just time consuming.

Hi guys,
first i must say is that your crystal chamber looks beautiful.
I did some research and i think i know how to get light for my crystal now,thanks to Jay.
I also read this:

I put everything in Cart like Lord Dottore Matto said,except i put crystal chamber and i didn't put AV switch because it wasn't in OP's list.
Price would be good if there isn't shipping which costs $38+Tim's soldering.
Here is a link of my cart so you can see if that's all things i need for basic saber:
http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Basket.aspx
Do i need anything else (like AV switch) or that's all i need to build basic saber (i will do crystal in chamber myself of course)?
When i calculated with shipping and all stuff in cart,i need to pay $178+ soldering,which is over my budget,so i will be grateful if you could tell me do i need more parts or i put some parts in cart that
don't need (i followed basic saber build thread from above)?

[PhoenixHawk]

LOL....bro its your cart....its for your eyes only....we can't see whats in your cart. You have to make a list of the parts in your cart and post that.
And yes the poly-car blade, soldering and shipping will raise the price.

Whops,sorry my bad.
Here are links of parts:

I chosed Machine 16mm AV switch hole - ($7.00) should i chose something else?

I chosed green LED and it costs $33.22

http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Do...ItemId=6158371

I think i need AV switch,but i don't know which one.

My cart says it's $140.26+$38 shipping,i will also ask Tim's team for soldering.
I hope this helps,and if i put some parts that i don't need,or i forgot something i need,please tell me.

I will do my best to answer as best as i can.
Thanks

If your using a 16mm switch then that's the hole you get....and since you wanting low cost as possible, I would get the non-lit version. Since they need to be wired to the main LED with a DynaOhm resistor. So get witch ever standard switch you like.

Also don't forget to have Tim mill the set screw hole in your Blade Holder. ...unless you have access to a drill press.

[Petar]

I put this one in cart,i hope that's OK,it's 16mm
http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/16...itch-P471.aspx
However if i chose this one which costs $4 and i get this resistor for $2.63 will that work?
http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/16...itch-P713.aspx
http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/20...stor-P847.aspx
Both resistor and switch cost $6,63 and standard switch costs $7.
I took time and i followed Rob's video about making stunt sabeer (guy from TCSS) and i put almost every part just like in video,and i also took pictures so you don't have to waste your time with clicking on links.
Here are the photos,and you just tell me is there any part i forgot (or if i put more parts then i need)?

I just want to thank you for helping me,i know im pain in the a$$,but I'm doing my best to read and learn about this stuff as much as i can.


EDIT:i also put adapter for crystal chamber and blade holder,i hope that's OK?

Jay, I was wondering if you tapped those aluminum rods yourself for screws that are holding your CC with the other part of your chassis? I'm not seeing any rods available like that in the shop. Thanks

[Jay-gon Jinn]

Those are 4-40 socket head screws and spacers....on the other side of the black chassis discs. The screws are secured with the 4-40 brass nuts found in the store here.
