I uave an Archon V3.1 and would not like the window setup to see the chamber, but to undo the body and be able to reveal the crystal. If anyone has advice on how to do it myself thatd be great too

I just found this:

Which is a post with someone talking about good sabers to install crystal chambers on, and it has some stuff on it.

 I found this and that's kind of what got me started. Most these guys are no longer active on this forum.  I would love to ask some of them for more info.  On this forum that's about all your going to get at this point. I have yet to see anything on here in the direction of what your looking for.  I'm in the middle of figuring it out myself.  There have been a few attempts at setting a crystal in so the led lights it up,  Plugs and stuff.  Your project is going to be difficult from what I can see. I don't own an Archon saber, does it unscrew under the switch ?   That would be helpful.  Otherwise you got to cut it in half find a threaded sleeve insert it and go from there. Plus you got to measure before cutting to make sure it's all going to fit.  I think it's possible to do what your thinking in an US hilt, Just difficult.  I have yet to se someone do what your asking.  Most people who attempt that usually end up building a saber from scratch from parts not offered by US.

Ive seen the crystal chamber you made. I love it. It doesnt have to be super intricate...just able to fit and be revealed in an archon, but theres no way I can do it myself. Not about to cut that thing in half lol.

Anyone still interested in this topic? I love to see this discussed. I have installed a crystal chamber in my archon v2.1 and it is pretty neat. I would be more than happy to assist if someone is looking for help with this still. I build sabers using multiple different company's components and boards but ultrasabers is my most familiar by far. I have installed or rebuilt about 8 or 9 ultrasabers in one way or another. A crystal is a lot of work but very doable.

Let me know!


Thanks

Chad, I would definitely like to see the crystal chamber you installed on your Archon.  I'm thinking it could be done on a Reaper since that hilt is four piece already.  I know TCSS has those lighted crystal inserts but haven't seen how one looks installed or how to install it though.

Here are links to my Instagram potos and video of it


I did the windows but if you wanted to make it a reveal you would probably just want to do a single piece chassis
