Sorry for the delay guys. The problem I'm having is getting the knurling correct on the red button. Drew has located the tooling. But, my shop can't buy the tooling because they can't access the company due to the Chinese firewall. I've bought the tooling and am in the process of sending it to them, but mailing tooling to China is a more difficult task than you would expect. As a result, getting that right is holding us up. It will happen soon, it's just going to take a bit. This is why I never accept money up front, so that these delays-which are inevitable-don't hold other people's money in limbo.

It will be well worth the wait sir!! Appreciate it

Side question, can you share where that stand came from? I really like it.

There is a store on eBay that has the covered acrylic cases too

Hello, I am MET engineering student and our Machining Lab class is about to do a lathe project in our and we decided on obi wan's lightsaber. Is it possible for our class to get the design or prints?

I had another prototype made and they got it wrong. So I need to start over again.

I appreciate your patience!! It's always the process that's a pain in making something perfect

Also, side question! What is the other obi tpm on your instagram from I think a 2019 post??

It' from an earlier run I did around 10 years ago.

Looked great too!! More refined, reminds me of Acerockets Orbital machining tpm.

 

[Anakin Starkiller]

Acerocket and I produced the run together.

Hopefully Anakin Starkiller doesn’t mind me posting a teaser:

View attachment 1603035

Note:
-This is a prototype, tweaks need to be made
-LEDs and O-ring are missing
-red button and brass knob knurling are not correct, these are stand ins for the prototype
-LED bezels are not screwed all the way in

Am I the only one still staring at this? lol Can't wait. And Dewy, that Qui Gon is gonna be perfect too!!

For those that haven’t seen it, Anakin Starkiller and Halliwax discuss this project towards the end of The Rescuer saber unboxing video (about 35 minutes in):

I love the attention with the uneven emitter cap! However, I'm glad there will be an flush even one as well!!

Correcting myself, two different bases.. that's very clever!!

Hi, any news on when you think it will be ready please? Thanks.

I can’t speak to exact timing, but we’ve been making good progress:
