Confirming interest for an FX version at that price

Re: Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 8-10-15 )

What will the finish of the metal be, just standard brushed, or smooth?

How does the crystal chamber attach to the clamp spacer? I dont see threads there in the diagrams.

What kind of locking mechanism or design is used for closing and opening the chamber? Is is just an "L" slide track? Id think that wouldnt stay in place well when closed.

Sorry for all the questions. Otherwise yeah, I'm in. I probably don't need the crystal though, I'll be using my own quartz crystal.

no prob, the clamp spacer will attach by set screws to save cost, in one of the diagram there is a black spot. That will be a set screw. There are 3 total around the chamber.
For the locking mechanism while closed it is using the L track plus the pressure from the graflex clamp. The reason I went with that is to not have any mods to the actual saber itself.

I can definitely commit to the non-fx version.

Thanks guys, updated the list, hopefully we can get this list going, need 50 to commit

Re: Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 8-10-15 )

I will commit as well. Currently requested a standard version but am debating on switching to the FX version.

If using an FX version on a standard Roman hilt, wouldn't it be possible to use a short bolt with a washer running through the booster to hold the sink nob on? In the same fashion as the emitter.

I really like the way the spacer of the FX version screws into the booster. I'll make my decision soon, hope it's not an issue.

yes, u can still use the rod on both sets. After talking with roman the only difference between the fx and standard is that the standard booster is not hallowed out but both still have all the same threading on both sides of the booster.

Would it be possible to place a real crystal in it (by myself), too?
What are the final materials now? All metal?
If it fit RE saber I guess it'll fit a real parts saber as well?

The parts are made from aluminum and brass, they will fit the real parts, verified by Roman, and you can put in a real Crystal in it if you would like to. I didn't include a real Crystal because of costs.

Still in for a FX Version

We just need 17 more people ,
Anyone interested??

Re: Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 8-10-15 )

Please update my spot to an FX version. Thanks.

Re: Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 8-10-15 )

FX-version for me, if the protoype turn out great

Re: Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 8-10-15 )

I should also note that I'd be interested in any electronics you have to offer. I'm not sure if I'm as bold as some of the other RPFers when it comes to diy electronics (yet).

Re: Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 8-10-15 )

No problem, I could help you with the electronics for the crystal, for the standard version I could put something together for the crystal led light up.
since I'm getting a lot of request for the crystal light up, would you want a standard lit or a flickering effect? Check post 68 for video

for those of you who are lighting up and adding a blade and doing your own for the FX version I would suggest using the nano board, but any board will work but space is very limited.

just need 17 more people so we can get this started. :cool

I need a electronics set as well for my FX version. I have zero electronics skill beyond simple soldering with very clear dummy proof directions

Any chance it can both flicker and be steady???

Re: Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 8-10-15 )

I'd like to add I would also be interested in a light-up feature. I could teach myself but I prefer to spend what little free time I have with my family. :angel

I think the flickering version looks quite cool :cool. If I had to choose between flickering or steady, I'd go flickering, although it would be nice to be able to toggle between the 2 like Tom1971 suggested.

Re: Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 8-10-15 )

would you prefer all three brass stems? or 2 brass stems and one aluminum?

Re: Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 8-10-15 )

If you don't mind you could post your run over at fx-sabers.com
This may help to get this run going.
