5layer 0f c1ones

During the invasion of the Jedi Temple, the 501st Legion advances and one after another Jedi fall lifeless to the ground. While the newly appointed Sith Lord Darth Vader takes the main entrance with the 501st, Commander Appo sends several of his troops on Barc speeders to the surrounding areas. Meanwhile master Jedi Kelleran Beq was scouring the halls for younglings trying to get them out to safety. In front of him an elevator and doors slowly open, a scared child is inside - "Everything is going to be alright kid" as Master Kelleran Beq picks up the Youngling Protector's lightsaber and as they step out of the elevator more troopers arrive. The Sabered hand, as they called the Master, ignites both sabers while the clone army initiates in combat. Their blaster fire is no match to his ability with the saber, deflecting each laser beam to themselves. Skillful and swift he slayed the clone squad one by one as he escaped along with the child. The future of the Jedi is safe for now.

For this hilt I will be offering an Elite chassis install. This is an upgrade to the advanced install that includes brass components: Crystal chamber, Proffie board and Battery cover. It will also include a Proffie board 3.9 version instead of 2.2. The cost of the Elite chassis will be $525 usd

Here are some renders:

Thanks.
 
The led bar works great with the shadowfoil pcb, as you can see on this video, it has 2 of them just for simetry and looks but only one will interact with the led bar.

 
Did some tweaks to the chassis to commonize components between the Advanced and the Elite.


Advanced chassis:
This will now have all parts (main chassis, crystal chamber, battery cover and board cover) but will be printed in Nylon.
Chamber and covers will be painted in a brass/golden type of paint so it look similar to the Elite.

Elite chassis:
Nylon body, brass chamber and covers.
The elite bass parts will be weathered to look more realistic.

Ok one final update on the Elite chassis. After a lot of thought I think the board cover is just too close to the proffie and could cause a short. So this door will be made out nylon. Better err on the safe side.

Due to this change I will be reducing the cost of the Elite chassis to $500 instead.

We are go for launch. The initial payment to the machine shop will be done tomorrow. Made a small change to the production model, the blue pin will be threaded instead of glued. As you can see on the prototypes the glue overlfows around the blue pin causing imperfections on the surface. So went with the thread instead. Cost went up a few penies but i will absorb that cost.

To those of you that requested hilts you will be getting a message this week for the downpayment.

Anyways if you want to see some glam shots of the SoC here are a couple
