noted!

 

[ryoko1000]

I am soooo late to this thread but I would like to join the rose gold waiting list please

 

[dreamtraveler]

I messaged you a few months ago to be added to the copper list, but I probably should have posted in this thread. Can you please add me to the main copper run? Thanks!

 

[howniceofyou]

Are you planning to include a reinforced thin neck like you did for MoM Hero?

So rather than continuing to hijack Valor's thread here: ROS *Spoiler* Saber design

I have made sufficient progress to start putting feelers out to gauge interest in a hilt run for this saber.

many thanks to Valor for getting us a good and healthy start.

having procured Valor's initial model, I have been studiously making adjustments and converting the model to a machinable set of structures for an FX based saber run.

In the same vein as the "MoM of all Heroes" hilt, BRRogers and I are teaming up with Lewis (Malaki Skywalker) from 7 Chambers to look at producing this hilt.

based on a rough cut the internal cavity would be 1.15" for most of the cavity for electronics components (and incidentally chassis modules exist at this size). These are all subject to change however as we continue design.

we would be looking to machine this from 7075 just like the "MoM of All Heroes" and we would be adding the coppery accents using natural copper and a limited set with that copper rose gold plated. Based on our research it also appears that the flatter parts of the grip fins that are not ridged actually look to be pearl like iridescent and as such we're looking at doing mother of pearl inlay for these pieces. This all supports the saber of a princess and royalty.

more details to follow as we work out design and logistics and timing.

caveat: we know some other are also racing to produce this design, so this will be a competitive market however we think with the precious material elements as well as BRRogers' and my obsession for detail, we think we will have a compelling offering.

so now the for rub. We need to understand what sort of demand there might be for such a run, so if you have interest, please chime in here! This will help drive our efforts.

please speak up if you are interested in us doing a run of this and would want one.

Interested in the rose gold version.

 

[cybergandalf]

I keep being tempted by inferior pretenders to the royal throne. Any news? ::whimper::

 

[k9muttlover]

I hate to be the one to ask……. But, any updates?

 

[Verity Cosplay]

No trouble to ask at all. Still wrapping this up we we wanted to alter the switch housing to handle the to Switches (regular and hidden aux). Looking to have design finished soon!

 

[Stormshadow]

I am still interested in rose gold version..I see I was crossed out.

 

[treansoturi]

This is the one I am waiting for 2021. Woot!

[VitalNonsense]

Ok ok fine.... one model shot...

here is where we are:

View attachment 1283192

Like Verity said I've got a chassis in the works and I hope y'all like it as much as we do!
Still a work in progress and it's going to slow down for a bit, but this is what I've got so far.
Please let me know what you think!

Specs:
Proffie V2,
18650 Keeppower
28mm bass speaker
1.3mm recharge port
high amp kill switch
2 spaces for 5 accent pixels based off trimmed WS2813
2 slots for pixels to illuminate the crystal chamber(one on top, one on the bottom)
View attachment 1289506View attachment 1289507
My goal is to have the cage surrounding the crystal swivel to reveal it but I can't guarantee it atm so the CC might change.
View attachment 1289508

Not asking for anything, know you're busy with MoM. Just popped back into my head today, came back to cruise the thread again admiring some of the prior work that's been done for this! (And I know these work in progress shots are already out of date.)
Hope everyone is healthy and doing well.

 

[TWB46636]

I just discovered this but if it's not too late please add me to the list for the copper version.

 

[the denominator]

Please add me to the copper list if still open. Thanks!

 

[skoota73]

Any updates?

 

[sweetheart]

I’m 100% on board with this. Just confused as to the rose gold and copper? Are there two different variants? Can someone please elaborate. I’m in regardless.

 

[VitalNonsense]

I’m 100% on board with this. Just confused as to the rose gold and copper? Are there two different variants? Can someone please elaborate. I’m in regardless.

The people making this are making two variants. An open main copper run and a more limited rose gold run. The rose gold run is already spoken for but there is a waiting list in case existing people later drop out.

As for the origin of the two variants, it's mainly audience perception. Many people interpreted the saber in the movie to appear rose gold, although that was apparently due to how fresh the copper still was during filming which made it appear that way. Very fresh copper can appear very similar to rose gold. So even though the actual prop was fresh copper, this saber is getting a limited run with the rose gold not only for that reason, but also because the premium rose gold just feels fitting for the princess' saber.
