 Ok here is a Vid of Cardinal Fang finished with a couple of custom fonts, one thing that is added bonus for crystal chambers, is that they pick up a lot of bass notes and resonance out of the heavy bass speakers (this one is plenty loud!)

 Thanks! That was a fun project that helped kill some cabin fever!, Onto the next one, this is for one of our Australian friends that wanted a unique style of reveal , I'm using a similar method for battery and board placement as the MHS reveal shown earlier in this thread. I wanted it to have a brass radiator finned crystal chamber. Now this is a bit time consuming, involved and a lathe is required. I started by hitting the local hardware store for some 1/16" brass sheet and a bunch of 4-40 brass nuts.










yes, this ate up a good chunk of a day including making the custom mounting tool for making radiator fins, I am quite pleased and itching to get this build finished

The completed "Power-core" this houses an 18650 3400 Ma AW battery, and a 27MM heavy bass rail-master DB27, I built in back vents for reverse resonance into the hilt which vents through the grenade section

I didnt like how shiny the brass was for the radiator (I polished them well to remove imperfections ) so onto a bit of Mapgas torch action to cherry red

Is it possible to buy an MHS compatible crystal chamber that sits between the LED and the emitter?

Give light or dark points and let the force decide

If your saber is MHS on the emitter end, my guess would be yes. I would like to make one and I think I saw one made from the vented coupler with a crystal inside it.

 I want to borrow that idea. My plan is to screw it in between the main body where the LED is housed and the emitter. I am concerned about weather it will/how much it will effect the blade illumination.

It's on the never ending to do list.

Archon owners use the vented couplers. Other than that, you'd have to go somewhere else.

I have spent the good part of the day searching at local hobby shops and rock places looking for crystals that might be suitable for a crystal chamber.   I have a long way to go. Also went to the hardware store to see what i could find.  There are some great efforts made by some of the members in this thread.  It may take me some time, but I plan on making my own crystal chamber and putting it in a US hilt. I'm most likely going to find and empty US hilt that would work best.  Any advice on this sort of thing would be greatly appreciated.

Have you considered growing a crystal (if you have the time) or perhaps dyeing some?
