Hello saber land! I'd like to present to you my custom Revan inspired crystal arbiter!
Saber sports a custom machined crystal chamber fitting inside a 3/4" ID choke, it's tiny but packs a lot of detail! I hand selected a Herkimer Diamond Quartz Crystal for this build, as the stone of attunement I felt it was fitting for such a build. I started by milling three windows in the choke for the chamber. I then took a heat sink and a blade plug and machined them custom for the crystal chamber. I then drilled for three brass support rods, two of which I bored out to fit two wires each. The third only needed one wire for a total of five. I also needed a custom switch setup to fit the two switches and the recharge port. I modified a dummy switch to accept two brass tactile switches for a very clean minimalist setup. Custom powdercoat was applied to make the saber more unique, and also to follow my custom Revan color scheme. Anywho the Glams! First I had to select my crystal from the cave.               Comparing the 12w to 6w+ In the RGBA+ (4 XB-D dies against two XQ-E dies.) Crystal arbiter RGBA+ is on the left, 12w reborn on the right  Crystal arbiter RGBA+ on the left, 12w Fallen on the right.  Just for fun!  Video: |

Beautiful saber! Now that Ray himself has spun it, I'm sure that baby has quickly moved into the Relic category! As always - great video

Well this saber won't be confined to a shelf any time soon. Many duels to win and many battles to face before this saber will be retired. And thank you I am pleased with how it turned out

Haha I might do a small run similar to these, but I have plans for this specific design

I could imagine it certainly was a tough build. It's a confined area for everything jammed in there. And you managed to shove a crystal chamber in there with the rest of it. Solid work and great glam shots. An inspiration for many I'm sure =) |
