Limited Run 2nd Run "RUN CLOSED"

Re: 2nd Run Obi ANH Crystal chamber ( Interest Thread )

Is the 2 bolt static solution sketch still going to be posted? Possibly interested but need to know how this will work.
Thank-you!

Hey Rudy
Any chance you can get 8/32 threaded holes drilled on the clamp spacer for the transistors? Might have to widen the post on the spacer to accommodate that. Make it a little easier for install. I tried to get the spacer piece off but I can't even get it to budge to mod it myself. I don't want to force it and chance breaking it :confused

Yea the spacers are really tight, use a Dowell and pop it off that's how I remove them, The reason why I didn't thread the resistors to the spacer was to try to give everyone the option on how they wanted to display their chambers because if I threaded them it their would only be one way to display them, im still trying to come up with a way of new transisters but I think I will have to prob offer a new spacer with the threading option.

put me down as definitely interested as well. i'm also in the switch kit if that can be done here too. :)

I also vote yes on the threaded holes for the transistors

Re: 2nd Run Obi ANH Crystal chamber ( Interest Thread )

so, quick question. although i have a few static hilts, i am new to putting electronics in. i will use the Roman FX hilt with this crystal chamber and will also get the switch kit with the chamber if possible. what else will i need to make this light up like the video in the first post? is there another run i should be buying from as well? thanks!

We can also just loosen the clamp spacer and rotate it to fit our needs if you have the holes drilled [emoji16]

Re: 2nd Run Obi ANH Crystal chamber ( Interest Thread )

I would check out this thread (link below) that has some wiring diagrams and some other options. Mars made his spring loaded and said its really easy to add. For the lights you will need a battery, a recharge port (if desired or you can take the battery out to charge), a speaker, some 28 gauge (i think) wire, a switch and some LED's. Or if you want just a light with no sound, you can use a swicth, battery, LED's and some resistors. (or buy LED's with resistors already in them).

Re: 2nd Run Obi ANH Crystal chamber ( Interest Thread )

this is fantastic - thanks!!! i may just go with the light, so if i can get the switch kit here with the crystal chamber build, all i really need then are the LEDs (w/ resistors) and the battery. simple enough. :)

Put me down for another one when we get to 29, that way we can get this run started! It will make an awesome Christmas gift for my brother in law!

Bump for visibility!
 
Re: 2nd Run Obi ANH Crystal chamber ( Interest Thread )

for those of you on the list for this, which version of Roman's FX hilts (machine finished, weathered or chrome oxide) will you be using for this crystal chamber?
 
Re: 2nd Run Obi ANH Crystal chamber ( Interest Thread )

It works with any of the versions but personally I am going with the Chrome/ Oxide. Originally I had a weathered, but when this chamber became available for a 2nd run I switched for an AFBB version. I think it will look amazing with any version. The second one will go in either a machine or weather since its a gift for someone and why not save a few bucks. (Im buying the 2nd one for my bro in law) Which version are you going with?

If you make the spacer part not as tight and movable just by loosening the set screw then we can rotate that part to where we want it positioned. Right now the clamp kind of just dangles when it is is loosened. With threaded holes securing the clamp to the spacer it wont move. I would tap and thread the spacer myself but I still can't get it off the chamber part...
 
Re: 2nd Run Obi ANH Crystal chamber ( Interest Thread )

After receiving some help and the right tools, I kept playing around with it and finally got it off. We would need to file/sand down the bottom notches inside the clamp in order for the holes to line up with the post and only the bottom transistor would be able to screw in.
