Not exactly a customization, but if love sour things and are looking to turn your saber into a flashlight, I've found that using an old Warheads spray bottle cap works really well.



Cap inside the hilt:


Saber on with the cap in place:

wow, that thing really focuses the light!  hmm, you never know something like that might be worth looking into for use in other creative plugs or even a DIY crystal chamber.

Agreed, the possibilities are endless! If only I was creative enough to do something else with it...

been brainstorming a crystal chamber- I'll need a way to focus the light from a high powered accent led into a crystal-i know i can come up with some kind of module, but i've been wondering what the heck i was gonna do for a  lens.  And i really wanted to keep as much of the project as possible created with stuff i could just find/ convert as opposed to buying stock parts.  I like the looks of this Smiley.  Thanks, I'm gonna check that out.

If you're referring to me, then you're very welcome! I'm glad to inspire people. Just keep in mind though, while the caps are pretty transparent they're not nearly as clear as, say, a blade plug.

Here's my first custom blade plug.  Just finished it last night.  It was inspired by another custom plug I saw on the Internet somewhere, where the builder was making plugs that resembled jet engines.  I don't remember who it was or where I saw it, but whoever hat was definitely inspired my design.








The plug is made up of the end of a pen for the cone, the disk is from the innards of a hard drive, and the head from a razor.

The plug sits above the ring of the emitter and this is by design.  A couple of months ago one of the standard plugs got stuck in the emitter and I had to drill it out to remove it.  This fixes that issue.

More pictures can be found here.

This is the best plug I've seen. I keep coming back to revisit the pics. 😁

Wow- these last so are real gems!! Incredible Smiley.  I believe the inspiration he was talking about was from a smith named Arkm, on a couple other forums-  he was the very first person to do the razor head blade plug, and did a lot of these turbine types- I was inspired to do a similar one (posted back further here) when I saw his too lol!
