Converting an OT Stunt Lightsaber blade
- Thread starter thd9791

Vry cool, thanks. Any idea about how deep that brass thing goes into the antenna?
Maybe 1-1/2” ? I have no way of measuring that exactly right now
I’d have to machine something... this is paper thin.. I’m wondering if a 3D print will hold it good enough..
Of course I’m cursed this week with window and door installs/upgrades
That means late nights because I have to make the house weather tight before I leave..
Leaving barely any free time.. I fooling around with the blade and hoping this weekend to have that video done, I’ve got so many videos I’ve run out of hard drive space
So that forces me to finish them
Doesn’t seem mine is tapered. She stays the same diameter for awhile before the taper
Are we saying the inside of these fiberglass tubes isn't tapered from the base? Vadermania's sure looks like it is. I would think the changing thickness down the blade means theres less space to take up further in, which means we can't just stick a piece of round stock in there
Spent some time in the past couple of days building an ESB style Graflex stunt saber for my antenna blades. It‘s not a precise replica of an existing stunt saber. I have used what I found in storage (rubber T-track, ESB replica clamp card etc.) plus an aluminum tube and inner core.

Wicked!!
I have a second, probably more accurate antenna STILL on it's way to me.
I have yet to make a inner/outer spacer for this one, Kinda wanted to do both of them at the same time
So, I removed my ski pole and wrapped gaff tape around my first tang (ignore that it's a threaded rod, my first core was tapped, I now do mild steel rods) - This is the AC Antennas CX-4 AIS, which might be rather similar to their current CX-4 I've heard
I kind of want to cut it a little shorter
now, compare these
The one in the pipe stunt here seems to have another coating

Cut mine down for the V3 length seen in the ESB BTS video. It's probably a different fighting antenna (it's black/gray) as opposed to the stark white one we see primarily see in the RotJ pics.
ESB stunt paired with my old HMP CX-4. I’m still waiting for the aluminum blade plugs and rings.
