Sooooo my cousin requested me to build a saber, and one that really peaked her interest was Rey’s own lightsaber. As many of you know here the original was custom machined or printed and very few of the shapes on it are anywhere near stock dimensions, let alone found parts. Wasn’t a chuck gear identified on her staff, but it was a 3D print of a scan of the part or something?
I don’t know, but this is going to be a Tom Stunt saber, one way or another. Do we have good reference of this prop? I’m starting to hoard reference.
I decided to start with a 3D print from Etsy and machine some inner parts, re-engineer the inside and make it into what I want. I feel like this is how Adam Savage approaches a project…
Anyway here are some shots of the beginning…. What I’m starting with. I’m going to document it here (not pictured is the baggie of triangles for the emitter)
