If the emitter face reflects the edge of the raised ring, it would reflect the saber light reflecting off the edge of the ring as well.
YUPPERS!*
*I just wanted to say "yup!" but it said my message was too short to post.
If the emitter face reflects the edge of the raised ring, it would reflect the saber light reflecting off the edge of the ring as well.
So based on the reflection, the hole ring IS thicker and the line that looked like a reflection is just an artifact of lathing or something? Because the red on that ring makes me see thick ring again.
One last quick update to post, I redid the recessed area from 4mm to 2mm -- Here is an image to show the changes.

Even though my 16 holes are a little on the wide side ( I have them at 2mm, I could go with 1mm and be closer to the reference).
Either way, whatever Anakin Starkiller's final design ends up being, I think it is going to be a great addition to any ones Saber collection.

I say recessed all the way, and that the disc containing the holes is angled inward as has been recently suggested.
That is exactly what I was picturing as well. Thanks for making that diagram.I say recessed all the way, and that the disc containing the holes is angled inward as has been recently suggested.
To illustrate, here is a quick cross-section I whipped up in PowerPoint:

To help better show what ARKM is talking about, here is a change I made to my images by adding the red light.

This should hopefully help out with making the final choice.

can you bevel the ring of holes inward, with a raised ridge right before the recess?
like this, except the inside rim pops back up again!
