Oooh pretty. A nice bright crystal to power your saber. Looks good, and that poor coupler now looks like it has a good job. Point to you (when I can).

Basic run down of how the crystal chamber will look/function. Apologies for the crudeness. I have yet to glue everything into place and cut the crystal down to the correct height.   Now that's cool! Are you hooking that led up to a battery in your picture? I'm finding it a little more difficult myself attaching it to the saber and running it in parallel without blowing the led. Time for a resistor. Now I got another week before I can get a resistor and finish my Last Arbiter. |

How are you wiring yours up? Blowing LEDs sounds hardcore. What kind of LEDs are you trying to use? |

Started shaping the claw for this one. Shown next to an unmodified claw so you can see the difference.  |

Trying to hook up an accent led off the Obsidian board. I couldn't figure out how much energy was coming off. I need to get a meter. Reds blow pretty easy. RGB's are my favorite leds because you get three tries. 😁 |

Does Obsidian have accent terminals? Wouldn't you use a 20ma dynaohm resistor for an accent either way? |

No it doesn't, and yes that's the easy way to solve it. |

I'm totally watching this build, just haven't posted until now... Great work Isola. You're so creative, and have excellent vision. Looking forward to seeing the end result. +1 |

Here's a couple of update pics to try and show the overall length of the saber Hand held  Next to an US "X" plug for size reference  |
