The Adegan Relic - 5.5W

[Smeerworst]

Hey all

So i had the opportunity to buy this laser from IsaacT, even when it was not really for sale at the moment.

We had a nice talk, and agreed with the transaction, wich went smooth btw

Lovely chap to talk too overall, and packaging was good if not excelent...
He never shipped overseas, but i'm hoping this would be a start for perhaps future buy's as it arrived save and sound.

There's a review of it allready, wich you can check out here:

I wanted to thank IsaacT first and again, for the opportunity to get this awesome build for my collection. (and everyone involved :beer

As a beginning star wars guru myself, i couldn't be more happy then to have this Laser saber wich is based on the one Obi-Wan Kenobi had.

I'll let the pic do the rest

Cheers, Sm :beer:

I didnt think he would collect enough courage to let this one go, good catch and great laser!!

 

[ChaosLord]

The force is strong with this one...

Very nice saber you got!

Seeing this thread is worth letting it go all by itself. These are the kind of pictures I didn't have the vision to capture.

As for packaging. When you send something like this overseas, you don't take any chances!

I am thrilled that you are happy with it. I really put a lot of time in on that one and it pleases me to see it go to someone who can fully enjoy it.

Thanks for making this thread man, +rep :beer:

I really like the build
So much detail in it, and everything is removable (no glue used on the parts showing)

Did meassure it at 5.5W, this thing is a burner for sure!
Unfocused beam photo's resulted in burnmarks in the door... (yes even unfocused)


Thank you all for looking :yh:

Thank you IsaacT :beer:

Nice laser. Looks very beautiful. 5.5 is insane but it defiantly belongs in that saber host.

It's a one of a kind ... first laser saber host created ...

Sporting a whooping 5.5W in output.

It's brings fear and disturbance in the force...

Beautiful item! I'm surprised IsaacT let it go too!

I wouldn't necessarily say it was the first lightsaber host (nor IsaacT's 1st lightsaber host!)

I bought his early prototype lightsaber host of IsaacT's (before he designed yours) and had Ehgemus (who created these hosts) make a special focus adapter for this one (since he originally made the host I thought it only fitting) that I use for it's G2 lens. I also bought a cool copper disk focus adapter from Flaminpyro that I have it's 2-element 520nm lens on. Flaminpyro is also in the process of making me 26650 to CR123A adapters for it so I can take it places without worrying about trying to take rare size rechargables on a plane.

I will do a full thread with pics after I come back from a trip I'm leaving on soon but in the mean time here is what I call "The Tython Prototype Lightsaber":







It's case.

Just a tease for now but that is 1.3W (with G2 lens) of 520nm goodness coming out of that (visible beam on a overcast day!) and a little secret, because it was a $560 module from DTR I added in polarity protection when I built it!

Looks like a nice laser with a good choise of diode

I'm hoping he will make more of this kind, as i absolutely love them!

Will he let me know ? Isaac if you are reading this ^^


Cheers, Sm.


p.s. ShadowX, you like SW aswell ?

 

[IsaacT]

When I have money again I definitely plan on making more Just broke as hell right now.

 

[Shadowsix]

Thanks Smeerworst! :beer:

Very cool IsaacT, you do have a talent for designing these hosts!




P.S. Smeer, when the first Star Wars came out in 1977 (I was in high school) I saw it not just once but many times in it's original run in theaters. I've been a big fan ever since! I just happen to love Star Trek too!

That focus adapter really did make that host look great. Great job on the build.:drool:

Did you tried maybe to add beam expander to the 5,5W laser? I think that power is so big, that effect can be amazing after making fat beam.
