38mm should be a good size

I looked into it, and I'm trying to find a different source for that but honestly if u want sound the best thing is to get the nano b.
It's perfect for this saber mod.

I know next to nothing about electronics (but here's hoping to learn)... I'm wondering with this reveal, since it has light, sound, can you actually wire it for a blade as well, or is this just too much stuff to shove into a little hilt?

This kit is actually designed specifically to have light and sound for a blade and to light up the crystal.

I got a few of those Aqua Quartz crystals a while ago in anticipation of making some kind of crystal chamber, glad that I'll be able to re-purpose them for this instead with a little work.

Oh... okay cool.

Are there any really good tutorials out there? like how this could all fit together... I can get all the parts, just need to know what goes where and how...

Or will this little venture itself pretty much have a tutorial..?

:thumbsup

Of course! I wanna be able to help as much as possible
Here is the layout for the nano, there should be room for a CF but I'm just waiting on the Booster from roman to confirm how big of a battery can fit.

Sweet!

Just gotta get the fx emitter ad super hollow booster....

I'm likely in for any of the switches to activate this up then as well.

Ditto. I need an idiots guide to FX/Reveal sabers. Big pictures and short words help.

Discussing types of meat is not helpful.

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

No prob, as for the led we will have to check with roman what fits in the emitter, I thought he had said it was a tri cree?

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

Hey lookit that. Already I sort of get what's going on.

Dammit.

Good thing my kids grandparents can pay for her college, heh.

If I'm not mistaken (and I'm relatively new to fx sabers, but I've been browsing boards like mad :cool) CF is compact flash (solid state media card) and nano is nano biscotti, which is a motherboard (for lack of a better term?) that folks use as the basis for saber electronics. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!

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

CF is Crystal Focus, another type of board

That makes WAY more sense. I was like "how in the world is a compact flash going to fit in there?"

Did you ever see if a crystal focus will fit?

It's a tight fit, with the measurements I have it will fit, but as soon as the boosters are ready I can have a better look at it.
but u will need a small battery

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

Yeah this motherboard and sound is a whole new area for me. Would greatly appreciate a dummies guide.

Looking forward to the final product.
