Hello, everyone. I’d like to present my newest saber, and this one I’m keeping for myself.
It’s my first crystal chamber, and it’s a reverse sound configuration so hiding all the wires was a priority as originally the chamber was to have been in the back of the saber. During a trip to the hardware store I found some brass washers that fit the MHS interior perfectly, so it got a quick hardware store redesign and got further massaged during the build. I was going for a radiator-style chamber, with copper tubing snaking through the brass fins and around some hollow copper pipe that were the wire chases. I repeated that material scheme through copper tubing wrapped in grooves in the extension, and some copper mesh in the pommel.
I asked Tim to add the grove to the pommel, and he did the copper orange powder coating on the ribbed grooved extension as well. The SD card actually sits a smidge proud of the end of the extension, so it’s really easy to access by removing the pommel. The control box I designed and had 3D printed in “stainless steel” so it’d be durable. And darn hard to drill through… The card insert is friction fit and came from a RAM card pulled from on old computer. I cut the shrouds, and painted and baked them and the control box. Finally, the choke has a black pigskin suede wrap where the recharge port is mounted.
Alright, enough of me babbling on. Here’s the fun stuff…
