Custom Built Lightsabers
MR LE Anakin AOTC
Build Log of converting a Master Replicas LE Anakin AOTC saber to feature a NBv1, 3/4" blade and crystal chamber reveal
I have yet to see anyone on the internet convert the Master Replicas LE Anakin AOTC saber, so here is my submission. To add value and uniqueness to this project, I am adding a G-Core. This is a mockup of a planned crystal chamber reveal using some parts I already built for another saber. The Anakin AOTC is a VERY small saber, but it is still possible to convert to hold electronics and a 3/4" blade and chamber with certain strategic reinforcements and custom built core parts.
The inner step seen here on the forward body section will be bored out to accommodate the Tri-Rebel BBW LED, optic, and heatsink. To facilitate the Reveal, the entire central crystal chamber as pictured above, and the electronics connected to the front of it, will be connected in my typical Free Float style. This will allow the forward body to slide forward to display the chamber within it. I'll need to fabricate a custom stand to further support the forward section when extended.
A full length of the mockup. Aside from the custom boring, custom bulkheads, and custom chamber parts, the conversion of this MR LE saber is actually fairly straight forward. It is actually possible to cram a CFv6 and 7.4V 18500 pack in here, but that would require wider boring and possibly compromise the rigidity of the entire saber during dueling, so instead I will stay with an NBv1 board. Too bad I don't have access to the Crystal Shard board for Flash on Clash-ability. Oh well. Stay tuned...
