Thanks for doing that Halliwax!
So I've been thinking. If it's a resin cast. What's it cast from? Something 3D printed? Or is it possible that was cast from the TFA BTS saber?
The seam lines on the emitter and upper neck don't line up. Did they just shift the seam line when clay-ing it up or are they separate pieces?
I think this was originally 3d printed and then cast. We know many other props were 3d printed including the compass which was a SUPER last minute thing
The seam like on the emitter and the neck is a funny thing.. I’m no casting expert but cast a few things in my day and I can’t make any sense to why the line doesn’t match
Unless It’s cast in pieces and glued together.. but I don’t know why they did that..
I was going to say maybe it’s a print line. I get those on my prints especially on cylinder shapes you can get a line up one side

Before you all jump on my this is a failed experiment, it’s a v3 emitter with the wrong size ring below the emitter plate.. I know I know.. terrible Halliwax bad boy!
Anyway, you can see the print line pretty good here
Makes me wonder if it was meant to be prototype or mock up of some sort?
Do we have any idea how Ben's Jedi saber was made?
Agree about 3D-printed Ben's lightsaber and ILM's printers quality (btw this is another reason for casting marks on WhiteGlove - if it were printed, the surface would be smooth).Most likely 3d print as well.. my other issue with them being 3d printed is. ILM used HUGE powder bed printers for TFA. Those parts come out smooth as glass..
The printers the public can afford are primitive compared to what the industry has..
Idk.. I see see a print line
Blah! I’m getting old. Who wants a cup of chocolate milk!?
This theory seems plausible. And what do you think about screen used prop?I am in no way saying I believe the white glove saber is 3d printed. I believe the master was printed, and the white glove saber is a cast off the 3d master..
This theory seems plausible. And what do you think about screen used prop?
Maybe we should move this topic make to the creepy uncle thread? I am notorious for high jacking threads
And I don’t want Seth beating me up and wrapping my booster in gaffers tape
Sorry Seth couldn’t resist!
Maybe I'll try to replicate these line shapes. It's not a problem to make molds from my own CU saber
Btw, Seth, are you planning to add a Maul hilt from Solo?
I think we have proved that starting from the control box it is a CGI.MAYBE... if I can find pics of the physical prop.
As for the creepy uncle-- the box is just so completely different and the finish is so shiny on screen I have trouble buying it's the white glove.
