Interest Veracity Labs - "The Princess" (Leia lightsaber) hilt Interest Thread

Interestingly. Based on a couple photos, it appears the central pipe is NOT just a tube.

there are clear vertical milling artifacts that parallel the windows. AND it appears the set screw hole goes clear to it.

observe:

While difficult to make out, the structure clearly is not a view of the opposite struts of the window. It is ON the central pipe.

I will be adding this feature. I am guessing it parallels each window slot but that is an assumption based on what I see.
 
I know it's all up in the air and i'm further down the list but if there's even the slightest chance of me getting #17, that's been my number my whole life. Never hurts to ask!
 
Alright. As I said yesterday. All folks who did not answer are now at 1 copper.

ANY ADDITIONAL ADDS TO ROSE GOLD WILL GO TO THE END AND NOT FOLLOW ORIGINAL ORDER.

first post contains positions as now.

you are all free to negotiate new numbers amongst yourselves (pls do this over PM). Once agreements are made send me a PM containing BOTH parties chiming in on an agreement of a position trade. Only if BOTH parties agree will I make the swap.
 
Very nice. I'm really liking the design of that switch. It's weird, one of the first things I look at (when I see other runs) is how that switch is designed. Can't wait to see how the aux button is implemented. Also, I love that I have #30. "Curry for 3!"
 
Sorry for talking suddenly
I visited IKEA with friends yesterday. Then I found this lamp. I firmly believe that this is the color of the princess saber 。

Yep. On screen it was fresh burnished copper. By the time the archive photos came about clearly the copper had begun to oxidize. (Also telling us it was not coated/treated to prevent said oxidation)
 
So a bit of (mildly) bad news.

so for the canon blade plug. It is going to only look accurate for the pixel and/or static setups. There is simply no way to do an in-hilt install with a cup there and use the central pipe blade plug. UNLESS the led is mounted below the neck. Which would restrict light a lot.

so what I am gonna do is develop the cup but the blade plug will only be compatible with the pixel (or no) install.

the pixel socket is recessed so it will work. But not for an in-hilt LED.

unless someone has a better idea or if folks actually WANT the in-hilt set below the neck?

Darn I was really hoping for in-hilt lighting. But do whatever you gotta do!
If that's not possible while maintaining accuracy then I'm not one to argue with physics! Bummer.

Well no I can add an LeD cup for in hilt lighting but... then you don't have the ability to do the central pipe blade plug. Since that is smaller than the OD of any possible LED cup...

You could in theory mount the LED in the switch section. But that would choke the light since it has to go through the neck....
 
Can an LED cup with a 2 conductor male connector attached (like a 1/8 inch sound jack) be mounted in the bottom of the blade and a female connector be mounted at the bottom of the emitter (to plug into)? Or the LED cup mounted in the bottom of the blade and the same type of connector be used like the Black Series detachable blade sabers? Just brainstorming ideas, I have no idea if that makes sense or would work.

well black series is a string Blade. So yes. That is basically pixel (tho pixel is way better).

i am trying to work out the best way to support the flashlight LED setup like a Tri-Cree

if it were only pixel that is easy. But trying to support the various install methods
