Looking pretty solid so far!
My biggest concern is that in the sabre displayed at the convention, the cross-guard emitters had a noticeable bend in their placement. I don't know if this was a side-effect of it being rubber and perhaps a little droopy, or if that's a design choice to help make the hilt look a little more pieced-together and homemade. Like Kylo just kinda soldered bits together eyeballing it without a ruler.

Yeah we noticed the droopiness as well, but given how "straight" the crossguard looks in footage/concept art I think its just the rubber emitters sagging somewhat.

JJ, you've made Dremel 3000 proud. I know he's watching this from the great shop disposal bin in the sky.

Welp, here ya go, Lael's finished model for us. Additional wear and tear and detailing will be added to the Master by us post-print, before molding:

Anyone have any ideas where the switch on this durned thing is supposed to be? The only thing I can think of is the "back" of the saber...

The model came out really great and I am looking forward to seeing an actual physical item with added detail. I cannot wait to eventually get my hands on one because I like the distressed/weather look of this saber which should lead to some fun painting.
Well done!
Well done!

Yeah, it's certainly not perfect... but Lael is pretty certain the one on display at Star Wars Celebration is not only a stunt saber, but likely not even 3D printed-- rather, cast from rubber-- and thus likely is missing a lot of the finer details and accuracy of the actual Hero model.
Since we can't confirm whether it's the actual screen look or just a facsimile, Lael didn't want to throw dozens of hours into it. We're gonna do what we can post-print to match it up more, of course!
This should do for now until Hasbro releases a more accurate FX version

Count me in too! This would be really great cold cast. And as for the blade size issue what if you made one that was accurate that couldn't hold a blade and one with the adjustments needed to hold the regular sized blade? Either way it looks fantastic! the only issue I see is that it looks a little short and I don't have one
