Dewy and Anakin Starkiller's Accurate Qui-Gon Jinn Lightsaber Design

I mean, what was the real reason we ditched resin black parts like the original props, the reliability of a factory casting them all properly? (like the nightmare of the chrome parts)

And the shrinking over time

Plus you can’t reliably cast in the threads/features required for consistent assembly across 100+ sabers.

What about 3D printing in resin?? Probably a no sh** Sherlock lol.. but thought I'd ask

Talked with my main man last night, be prepared for updates soon

 

[Anakin Starkiller]

Would a bit of oxy-acetylene heat help recurve it back? Map gas?

You probably can straighten it with heat. But it's not a viable option for 100+ assemblies.

I've contacted another shop to see what they can come up with. I'll keep everyone updated as things develop

The force is strong with this one

You could call it a DiY+ limited liability kit ;p

I'm always fascinated by how meticulously Dewy and Anakin Starkiller tackle the Qui-Gon Lightsaber!

Thanks to all the data I was able to collect here in the forum, I've finally finished my 3D Lightsaber.

Unfortunately, you have to make some compromises with 3D printing,
so 100% accuracy is probably not possible (...except with resin printing).

All parts were printed with a BambuLab X1c.
If you like it, you can download the file for free from Maker World.

Just search for "*NEW* Qui-Gon Jinn Lightsaber from Episode 1" and you'll find it.

Looks amazing!!!

Having just picked up one of your OWKs - this run is a must for me. Hopefully you're having some luck with the material!

I don’t want to speak for Anakin Starkiller but I will say things are being worked. We’re keeping things close to the vest because when it comes to prototypes, we’ve been hurt before. For this project in particular transitioning from a prototype to viable production is extremely challenging. Hopefully, we can get things to work out.

All I really need now to scratch my saber completist itch (aside from optional variants like the Vader ANH V2, etc.) are the Qui-Gon and the Council sabers.

Patience is a virtue!

Great model! I eagerly await Starkiller and Dewey's production one, but in the meantime I printed yours with my Prusa Mini. It turned out great with relatively minimal fuss, which is a testament to how well you designed it for printing. I'll have to give your Obi a shot even though I already have 3 very nice replicas (I'll pretend I don't know how that happened).

Looks like the lightweight hero is back up for auction again.

Wow, that price!
