Wow! In the video we see how little is the crystal chamber! This is a precision work  :)
I didn't understand a thing... how is the crystal held in its position?

Hm try this one?
- iSaber bargraph mode on the LED string blade of the Obi CF-LS Reveal - with normal saber operation at end of video.

The second link was to a spot halfway through the first vid.

Wow. Just watched the videos...absolutely incredible! That string blade is awesome with the CF-LS! The saber itself with the chamber is jaw droppingly amazing. Those specs as well...everything is perfect here. Love it! Great work as always Sloth!

Oh and I'm sure I'm not alone when I say...I'd love you to do a run of these sabers! :D

People are actually asking for a run of these?  :o  That's like asking Leonardo to do a run of Mona Lisas....

Dreaming is all I would be doing if it ever came to pass. I can't imagine how much you would have to charge to even break even on a run but I'm pretty sure it would be way beyond my wallet.

hahah, well, thanks...
Here's a new vid of normal operation, not sure why it's so dark, I'll try shooting another one tonight or so.

The final vid will be of the detachable bladed section and non bladed section, springloaded chamber, etc.  That should be ready to go in a few days, then I will be done done done with this build!

Very nice indeed. Looking forward to seeing what you've done with the interchangeable neck pieces. Cool idea.  I'm still scratching my head about how to securely mount a DIN connector in my blade...
I notice that the blade is static in the videos i've seen so far. Do you have the option of a pulse effect?
