I've done 2 Hasbro BS Kylo Ren conversion, my own custom MHS RGB (mako), and a Graflex 2.0. Its now time for Darth Vader's axe. Being as this is my grandfather's weapon, I didn't want to let him down on my replication of his old blade.
My general build components:
Korbanth MPP 2.0
Darth Ryo Sith Master Chassis System
I2
Tri-Cree Dr, DR, W
2 RGB 5 mm LED's (common anode). My crystal chamber wired in parallel with blade. Combining RGB for FOC in crystals. Chassis has a focusing crystal, and energy crystal.
4 blue accent LED's. 3 in pommel behind speaker, visible on outside of chassis through grills. 1 in chassis mid section.
1 red surface mount LED as power indicator, wired for steady on at removal of kill key through low power standby.
Lots of other screen accurate mods along the way to make it better than it comes stock. It hath begun!
Chassis painting:
Flattened brass tubes (TCSS Chassis Brass tubes) for additional conduit space through chamber.
4 wires running through brass tubes. I will have them separated by an 3/4 inch inside chamber, which will purposely expose 4 wires (RC Port wires)
My conduit plan through chamber, including the exposed wires!
My very rough, and crazy I might add....wiring diagram. Inside the mind of a madman. "In order to find his equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to God." That kind of madman. Here we go:
