Jay-gon Jinn's Chrome Saber 29 (CS-29)

[Jay-gon Jinn]

The saber has an MR FX Sith sound board, a green high-bin Rebel from TCSS, the 8.7degree optic and Rebel lens holder and runs on 4-AAA batteries. I modified the speaker mount to vent through the back to use the hilt as a resonator, and I also drilled the ribbed extension to vent for sound in the grip, and it works like a charm! You can certainly "Feel the force" with this one, as it is fairly loud for an MR powered saber. Tim did a very nice job on the custom powdercoat job on the pommel style 3v1, and Master Jedye of Gemini Concepts handled the powder coating on the formerly chrome sleeve. Technically I suppose this saber is a Black Saber, but that might confuse people into thinking it had a black blade. Since it started out with a chrome sleeve, though, I'll leave it with the Chrome Saber designation.

I eventually decided that I didn't like the ring style switch, since it just wasn't bright enough and swapped it for a dot style instead:





That was much better!

In my honest and completely unbiased opinion, I would say that is the best lightsaber ever created.

But seriously, good job on it, looking forward to receiving it.

This fancy Jay-gonn saber cannot save you from the clutches of Darth Sasuke, Sephrom.

Another great Jay-gon creation!

The ring switches just tend to be less bright, probably due to their design and how the 1 LED is dispersed. I'm switching the 3 sabers I constructed to dot ones, much brighter.

I think it would pop more if the grooves in the sleeve were chrome instead of black. But i'm not sure how you would do that with the powder coat, and when you cut the grooves it exposed the brass yes?

Saw this on FX-sabers before it went down..

This saber is sweet. Only drawback to me is that it's green. I don't like green

Yes it did expose the brass underneath the chrome. We actually thought the powder coating would fill in the grip lines more than it did, so just being able to still see them is a plus.

another yummy one!

[Skottsaber]

Nice! IMO having a Jedi FX board would have ruined this one. Great saber!

[Vlad Doon]

Oh no, this is the kind of saber that makes me reconsider building them myself and ordering one from you. So fast looking, well balanced design, I love it.
Technically speaking, I see you use some rebel leds now. Are they, in your opinion, better than P4 for greens and blues ?
I'd like to know as well if drilling in a battery/speaker combo worth the risk, is the sound much louder ?
Finally, is there a significant difference between the 5 and 8,7degree lens ?

Keep up with the awesome work
