Title: Kyber Crystal Blade plug V.2 Post by: ryanjh55 on July 04, 2018, 09:39:31 PM Hey guys here is a video of the plugs with a link to the photos since some people were asking how they were made. Also available on eBay if you want one, if eBay is not your thing you can PayPal me directly. Thanks for your awesome feedback.

Title: Re: Kyber Crystal Blade plug V.2 Post by: Madness on July 04, 2018, 10:23:44 PM I appreciate the video, I ordered the parts for my design idea. I'll post when completed thanks for the inspiration. I'll also share my design idea and how I did if it works, my goal is to fully suspend the crystal with nothing on it in the middle of the tube. Something tells me this is going to fail greatly because I've not seen one that floats like I'm going to try to do lol. What caps do you use? I was planning on cutting and shapping EVA foam to match my concept but I love your top cap idea. Also if I decide to sell, I will not undercut anyone one here I will match your price so it's up to the person what style they want and not a what's cheaper. I will also give away a few here once I've made back my initial cost investment as a thank you to all the customizers.

Maybe you can use something like this to help suspend the crystal? http://www.michaels.com/ook-invisible-hanging-wire/10198675.html?cm_mmc=PLASearch-_-google-_-MICH_National_PLA_Shopping_Null_Null_All+Products_General-_-All-Products&gclid=CjwKCAjw4PHZBRA-EiwAAas4ZjbPHsRdIQrkSDd15Sk3RbdyFpqm-u3k2vvI0Oy18nAHL8R0OCkKFxoC1f8QAvD_BwE Title: Re: Kyber Crystal Blade plug V.2 Post by: chalion on July 05, 2018, 12:41:46 AM You know, they make this stuff called fishing line? Tensile strength anywhere from 2 lbs. up to 36 lbs. Clear, colored, solid, weaved, braided, etc. I was thinking of getting some fluorescent (green, blue or red) to make a spiderweb style weave in a blade plug to give a laser-like effect, I just don't have the patience to design it out.
But to make a suspended crystal in a blade plug fishing line could be an option. Even fiber-optic cable could be an option. Bit pricier though.

Awesome ideas, I'll share what I end up going with even if it fails. My apologies Ryanj for taking away attention from your thread was not my intent. Right now I'm testing different materials and ideas to see what works and can handle the heat of the LED safely without risk of melting.
