Just got the parts to start on my chamber! Will post pics as soon as I get to run to Lowes for the rest!

I am putting together some ingredients as well. These are parts from the LED housing on a vader force action before they changed to a tri-color (except for the crystal of course).

Pretty cool! I'm trying something using 2 pommel inserts. We'll see if it works.

Well, it's been requested from a couple of people I put the design up for my led board that I'm using in my crystal chamber. You'll have to pardon the Paint sketch, kinda tossed it together quickly.



red's positive wires, black is negitive, I used a radio shack board that I trimmed to fit into a Sink tube adapter and bridged the gap between holes with solder. I'm going to have to make room for the wires to the LED in the future though. The switch is wired with a tiny connecter I found in a train/RC car/RC plane shop I visit, so I can easily connect/disconnect for maintanance. As soon as I get a camera better than my little 1.3 megapixel cameraphone I'll post the pics (though there isn't much considering the battery holder covers the small wires).

Hi,
Just thought I would share. This is my lightsaber Work-in-progress. I'm just waiting on funds to buy a sound solution.

Here is a shot of crystal chamber cutout.

If your wondering why the color keeps changing, I put an RGB 5mm led under the chamber.
Cheers,

That is Beautiful! That is the best stand-alone chamber I've seen. What do you use to power it?

If that is directed at me, Thanks. If not, sorry for my vanity.

the LED is a 5mm rgb. It needs as little at 2.8v to light but 3.2-3.6v @20mA to get the best color blends. right now i just have a 3v coin battery attached to it. When I finish the electronics i plan to tap some of the power out of a 616 board to light the chamber.

And yes that was directed at you. I LOVE that chamber! I was thinking of using a 3v coin bat for mine, but can't find a way to connect it as a power source. I got it and a holder from an old Blood sugar monitor, but wasn't able to use the connectors. What can I use? This is the first time I've tried to wire up a battery that small.
