Obi ROTSish Hardware Saber

The PVC core.

Emitter and wind vane .

The forward grip made from washing machine drain hose.

The pommel fabricated from PVC and covered with aluminum HVAC tape.

Complete and weathered.

Are the emitter and windvane hardware, or replica parts?

 

[Tan Djarka]

The emitter is a sink drain flange and PVC pipe covered with HVAC tape. The wind vane was 3-D printed but I damaged the sleeve, so I cut it off and replaced it with some brass plumbing pipe with the chrome sanded off. I worked in the flare with a pair of pliers.

Wow this is one of the best hardware sabers I’ve ever seen. Great job!

Thanks. Oh, by the way, before anyone asks... The activation/circuit board is from a 2005 Obi ROTS electronic saber. It was a little shorter than 2", so I custom made the clamp to the length of the board.

That is fantastic! Curious what you spent on what looks like a pricey prop replica. Well done sir.

 

[Tan Djarka]

Ballpark? Around $30.

Could we possibly get a shot at the top looking down the emitter? It’s a great looking piece.

 

[Tan Djarka]

Not much to see. Just the PVC pipe that makes up the body of the emitter and the lamp parts holding the saber together.

 

[DiggsBarklightr]

That helps, thank you. I was just wondering how wide it was because I’ve seen that thread about using the Tonka truck plastic wheel as an emitter which was a pretty cool idea. Thanks again.

 

[Tan Djarka]

It should fit in there. I've got another flange which is essentially the same size, which I plan on using with a truck wheel.
