View attachment 1673864Just got the chance to look my hilt over, and it’s awesome! One issue though is the head of screw that connects the grip to the emitter is rounded out pretty badly. Would it be possible to get another one Saberbay?

Yup those are just temp screws toy can discard that one

Finished one up, but out the door it goes as it was a commission. Waiting for my weathered one once the dark cloud poor Justin is under blows away!

You bet, here you go. Everyone loves these. Pricy, and take a while to ship, but they're the only ones I use.

Nicely done! How's the wire management on this one? Did it take long to install?

 

[ARogo]

I’ve been pretty indecisive on how I want the grips to look. I masked off the anodized portions and used steel wool to lighten the grips just a little.

The client wanted a pixel strip in place of the oled on the back, which added complication bc it eats up a lot of space that could otherwise be used for wire management. My biggest gripe is that proffie compatibility is almost an afterthought. Once you glue the board down you need either a super low profile 90° usb cable or do what I did and sand the plastic insulation off of the one you have you also need to trim the little 'tongue' at the back of the npx pcb holder that helps with wire management or there is no way to get the SD card out.

Those are my only real gripes. It's a little unorthodox of a setup but this is a bit of an unorthodox hilt design. I've done wayyy harder. Oh one other thing, you won't really need the four large magnets for the switch box. It's super tough to get off with only the small ones. Also make sure you sand all of the 3d printed greeblies or none of them will go together correctly. Not a huge deal. I got the install done in a weekend working on and off on it.

How did you do the crystal?

Everyone loves my darksaber crystals haha it's very easy. Paint the printed crystal with a black enamel paint pen (at least 2 coats) then scratch off the edges with an exact knife. Heres a link to the pen I used. It looks even cooler with a real crystal (my Solos Hold Darksaber)!

The brass chambers are nice and all but... for my personal one, this called for something a little more special

Interesting! Hoping to get mine done before S3 though I may still end up defaulting to a Korbanth one I had bought and installed. Thanks for the tips!

Everyone's sabers are looking great! Can't wait to get mine soon! Hope you are doing and feeling better Justin!! Any new updates by chance?? No rush

 

[Raynepain]

Cant wait for more to become available!

Nice! I was thinking something silver or rhodium-plated would look stunning and fit the black-and-white motif perfectly.

 

[ARogo]

Another attempt at the grips - I think I like this look the most. Probably going to call it finished at this point!

 

[Raynepain]

This started with the aluminum black as the base, right?

Yessir, this is polished silver from shapeways. Fair warning it's obscenely expensive, $360 iirc. Brass black works to weather silver but it works much slower. Then I use a fine automotive metal polish to knock it back.

Are we any nearer getting the weathered hilts shipped yet. Was hoping to have it for CE.
