I took a standard US blade plug and inserted (2) 1/2" rubber washers with a Crystal purchased at a local craft store. Total cost was 2$.





Let me know what you all think?

Great... now I need to buy a crystal and do something like this when my Lightsaber arrives.

Haven't even got my first one yet and already I'm planning customizations xD

If you don't mind my asking, could you give a bit more info on how you got the crystal to stay in place? I know you said you used some rubber washers but details would be great! ^^

I just used a few dabs of super glue. For the most part, it stays together on its own.

This is way cool. Nice job Sinister!
I'm going to have to get a saber with vents so I can copy this.  Cheesy

Great job on the blade plug! Crystal chambers are always a nice addition to a saber, and this one is simple and elegant.
