Limited Run === Luke's Lightsaber : THE LAST JEDI === NOW SHIPPING!!!

Re: === Luke's Lightsaber : THE LAST JEDI === NOW TAKING PRE-ORDERS!!! 1st PICS!!!

Definitely behind schedule, but not too far off. It's the little details that have really slowed this down. Here's a pic from this morning. Anodized grips arrived late Friday. IDK, maybe 1 more week? :confused

Will the Red/Green arrows being supplied with the hilt be plastic acrylic (not lit) or will they be LEDs? I looked back in this thread but wasn't able to find an answer. Thanks. If they are not LEDs, what size are the triangles? Thanks Roman.

Trying to find the right size triangle leds are a pita. U could also use the supplied acrylic arrows (if he isn’t supply the leds) and just drill a small hole behind where the arrows go, and put some white leds inside the box inside the hole.

This would aluminate the acrylic arrows

You could purchase some 4mm led arrows from Kr Sabers, as I have done, as I presume these will the the size. Otherwise... meh

Looks great. Any word on whether there will be emitters without the set screw available?

Will we have these by the last jedi?

Heh, I don’t know. TLJ is less then a week away, anything is possible though

Things like this I never rush, and don’t want the part runner to rush either. I don’t want anything over looked

With this hobby and the others that I’m in that involve machine shops, it seems that every single shop always underestimates the production time.

If we get them before TLJ it’s awesome! If we get it 2-3 weeks from now, it’s still awesome to me

But again, I live my life at one pace and don’t rush anything lol

The problem with farming out to machines shops small runs is that there are usually delays. Roman has always produced incredible works, the delays are always worth the wait.
 
Re: === Luke's Lightsaber : THE LAST JEDI === NOW TAKING PRE-ORDERS!!! Nov. 17

Another thing too I’ve noticed with machine shops. They don’t sit around waiting for you, and what I mean by that is

They setup all their tools for a part. If a bit breaks, and they don’t have any replacement bits, they order one. If that takes 2 or 3 days before it comes it, the next job in line is started, if that job takes a week, that now cuts into the original parts time.

So they put your project aside, move on to the next and when that one is finished, re setup all the tools to continue your project

These is way machine shops are never on schedule. It costs them too much money setting up the tooling, programming and machining. Setup once, punch them all out, move on to the next one

Stopped by the shop yesterday. The machine we should be using IS in fact down, but they are making do with other machines. They are working through the weekend to get these done (also so the crew can be off an entire week for Christmas), but when asked if I will have them Monday they would not give me a definite 'yes'.

So I don't know for certain. It's gonna be real close.

Thanks for the update roman! Figured it was machine related. Pretty common issue, not a big deal in my eyes.
