I am also very interested in a metal clip, if they become available. Thanks for posting your progress on the belt too.

Appears to be 50mm - 2mm more than yours, I believe, gucabe However that was just me chucking a ruler underneath so it may have ~1mm discrepancy

Thinking about purchasing this through Shapeways.
When installed, I just slide the lightsaber into the receiver and it stays there via friction?
What side of the saber do I install it's piece?
Does Kylo wear the lightsaber emitter up or down?
Thanks.

Not to answer for Sni9er, but correct. Once the saber is slid into the holder, it stays there thanks to the notch on the clip - much like a very basic covertec system.
The clip is screwed to the same side of the saber that has the cutaway section, with the notch at the bottom and on the right side. This means when you slide the saber in it will on hang emitter downwards.

there is a slight functional difference between the printed clip and the real metal one
the print has a notch to hold the saber but the real I-am used a sliding clip with no notch so the sprint tension is what holds the weight
I;ve updated the shapeways version to the very newest design and i've also sent off my final diagrams to the machine shop for a price !

Great Job designing the Saber Clip, I think it looks great. Hopefully the machine shop can do the project right for you. I'll be watching for that update for sure.
I'm not trying to take anything away from you, but I'm still curious as to what the design is based from. Is it a real world part? Was it in fact custom made?

So Last night i got my prototype back for the Saber Clip little bit excited haha
they made a mistake channeling out both sides of the clip this was human error and wouldn't be present on the final clip
also made a test video and held 3KG happily

This is really very well done. I am still on the fence with putting together a complete Kylo, but your dedication to this costume is truly impressive.
Keep up the great work, Sni9er!
