Re: Kylo Ren CNC aluminium ultra accurate Saber
I would disagree, they are fairly readily available... I have 4 7/8 heatsinks at home. Saber specific sites usually have runs of them (especially around Korbanth runs)
EDIT
Is the Chassis that was developed for this included in the price?
The chassis will not be included in the pricing. I have run the chassis through the shop and they have quoted me 50 Euros to make the chassis. I think shapeways has it around $70, or it can be home printed, since it doesn't have to be pretty.
I'm starting to get a little nervous about everything because if I start adding options to it, like 7/8 plug and 1in plug, individual parts and extra options, it increases the chances of me ferking things up somewhere in the distribution process.
I'm going to have to think about the line between options and too much trouble.
I might be interested, pending final price.
I have Gustavo's V4 finished but god this has been tempting me since you posted it. Pending price I'm interested!
Definitely interested pending final price! Filled out the form.
Ok, so the current news is this.....
The price has gone down when making a hybrid saber. All of the structural and core components are CNC aluminium. So the pommel, the grip, the emitter, the 2 quillion, the blade sleeve, and the switch plate will be CNC. This represents the core of the saber, and basically every single part you will touch. The saber will be fully duel ready and strong like bull.
The resin parts will be the detail parts. Parts you're not going to touch on a normal basis and printing also lets us get a very fine level of detail on the parts like the cutout on the top and the exposed core at the bottom.
The big news is the price should be at max, 450 Euros, so we have dropped down 100 Euros per saber from before.
I'm still pending the quotes for the machined parts but I got the price for the printed parts, and was able to subtract their price from the CNC price to get the numbers. It may go down a little bit more still but I'll reserve this final price for the quote from the machinist.
My goal is to get this at 400 euros.
So if you were waiting to sign up for prices to drop, wait no longer! The faster the list fills with people the faster I can get the deposits to the shop and the faster they can start producing these things.
Once I have the final quote and have sussed out the final price and negotiated it down as far as I can, I will be sending out emails to those on the list, and accepting payments.
Any options that I can work in will also be there in the form.
So sign up, get it on.
If we can move quick enough I will be taking delivery of these in mid April to ship to their new owners.
