Limited Run The Youngling Protector Hilt - As seen on Book of Boba and Mando S3, Order 66 flashbacks
- Thread starter guabe
- Start date
Now that the Disney Gallery BTS for mando season 3 is out I updated the model for extra accuracy before production starts in 7/7.
The pommel is flat on the back now, both vented and not vented caps are now flush.
One thing got confirmed is that this saber was seen on both BOBF and Mando season 3. It is the same prop. There is a seen where the saber is on the floor but shown from a different angle and you can see the brass switch on the bottom.
Sorry for the poor quality, I had to zoom and get very close to the screen as the saber was far away in that scene.
Also there are seens where Ahmed carries both sabers and for some reason the colors are swapped, his main saber is now blue and the YP is green. Seems they are using normal neopixel blades now and can change color. So in BOBF they used green lit and blue on mando.
Thanks and we are getting close to start production. There are a few spots left if anyone still needs one.

We are ok to go for launch on 7/7. Still a few spots left in the Run. If anyone else is interested now is the time to secure your spot.
The final revision includes:
- Pommel changes for more accuracy (flatter and slimmer), plus vented and static endcaps included
- Hilt is a tad longer from 262mm to 267 or 10.5 inches
- Small changes in geometry for more accuracy based on the recent Disney Gallery BTS
- No longer need a set screw to orient the chassis. Made slots to the inner grip.
- Cosmetic changes to the Advanced chassis. Added orientation pin guides.
- Added orientation pin guides to basic chassis as well.

Those who ordered the Advanced Hilt install will have the option to purchase (via shapeways) chassis covers made out of metal (brass). Im almost done with the design but it's 98% ready. Again this is totaly optional but will give the chassis a more premium look. The chassis already has the necessary features to attach, however the proffie board cover will need small magnets.

Hello Everyone, we are in the final stage of the production build. The Shop had an issue with the inner grips and had to redo them all again over the weekend. They are in the 2 step anodizing process and that should be it. The boxes are ready to so they will be shipping the hilts to me by the end of the week. Sorry for delay but just want to have everything done conrrectly. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Alright the hilts are packed and shipping to me.
We should be recieving them iun about 7 days. Once they arrive They will be inspected and I'll start requesting final payments to the ones that didnt request install or weathering first. I will also ship the hilts that require weathering to Matt right away. Once they are done whey will be sent back to me. Gio is in the process of installing the chassis and should be done in about 10 days. Once they ship to me they will be installed in the hilts and tested.
We are very close to finishing this project. Thank you all for your patience and hope you like this hilt a lot.
