Hello sabersmiths!
Last year I made my first saber, which was a hardware saber. Recently I took it apart to discover that the LED wires got completely disconnected...so I entertained the idea of making a completely new saber. I tried pushing it aside but that didn't work. So I'm back on the forums getting ready to burn a couple hundred dollars
So I discovered I had a CNC machine at my school, and a bunch of my friends on the Robotics team heard about my project and offered to CNC the part, provided I supply the stock. ("Good practice" they say). So I'm gonna make some custom parts.
Here's a list of my intentions...
1) Mill custom body
2) Mill custom shroud (s) with acid etching
3) Install a custom crystal chamber using accent LEDs to illuminate said crystal
4) Use a PRIZM soundboard and color mix with RB/R/G
5) Have a free float style chassis that would be pretty to look at (Similar to Arklight Arsenals G-Core system)
At the moment this is merely an idea I'm entertaining but I would really like more information on how I should go about doing this mostly so I can mentally prepare myself for the design process and amount of money I'll have to invest.
My main questions...
1) Better ideas to illuminate the crystal chamber? (SORTED...SORTA)
2) Is possible to color mix the crystal chamber with PRIZM? If not any ideas on how to cheat it? (SORTED...SORTA)
3 (A follow up) So I read plecterlabs guide on the PRIZM and I got thoroughly confused...I understand that I can make a Crystal chamber, but it was not made clear (or at least not to me) if I have to wire the accent LED to the accent LED pads or to the main LED pads...
That's really it...any ideas or help on how I should do this would be appreciated.
I am researching all of these as I write and I'll cross stuff off the list as I go.
Thanks for your help guys
