My first MHS build with custom crystal chamber

[Danakar Endeel]

Figured I'd share some pictures of my very first MHS lightsaber build. The hilt is 'black chrome' with trim rings on every seam and I also used the "Double Male Extension with Slots Style 2" to make a crystal chamber.

Here's a picture of the empty hilt on display before I started work on the internals

And here's the lightsaber after I finished cramming all my stuff in. It uses a 18650 Li-Ion, NEC Spark2, SF 12W Cyan led, and the 'Mantle of the Force' soundfont from LordBlako.

Here's an older WIP picture while I was working on my crystal chamber. Only parts missing in that picture are the 3 small 3mm brass tubes that I was still waiting on at the time. Once I got the brass tubes inserted I used them to run the wires through (SF 12W Cyan unit only needed 3 wires) so there's no visible wires running through the chamber. I bought the radiator fins and baseplates from Skywampa (a UK seller on Etsy) while all the other stuff including crystal came from chinese vendors on Aliexpress.

Now I know it's not as fancy as some designs I've seen people built but I'm still very happy with the results and extremely pleased with the quality and craftsmanship of TCSS.

UPDATE: I received some rotary kill keys from Shapeways today and after drilling out my original TCSS brass kill key and cutting the new one to length my saber can now be ignited without having to remove the kill key! I can just turn it like a knob to activate the saber.

Bigger pictures here (because these forums sometimes make the uploaded pictures look tiny)
