Hello everyone,

Over the past few months, I've been revising my Luke V2 model and I think I've just about got it bang on.
I asked Roy last week to work his 3d magic and wip up some comparison photos from me and he has done an amazing job.

I submit them here for your consideration. Comments are welcome and appreciated. Roy noticed that the cone knob look off my a couple mm, and I've corrected this already on the step file.

What do you guys think?

Looking great!!! Will this be a 3 piece or uni-body?

It will actually be something like 9 or 10 pieces. I've redesigned the internals so that this can take a blade and house electronics but still have a spinning emitter and remain completely accurate. The emitter will house a radial bearing that will make the emitter itself rotate around a 7/8" blade holder. It will have two caps to allow for a blade or a static display piece. The body and the booster section will separate under the clamp with a twist and pull lock (like a graflex does). I also plan to include the mystery knob with knurling on the top face.
 
You are a true genius.

Was the original pommel on this lightsaber a handwheel/faucet knob like the Obi-Wan lightsaber? or was it a machined/cast piece? the circle could be a casting issue, a part of the machining process, or maybe a logo or??? Though I can see where you see an arrow, I don't think that is what it is. To me is seems like just a scratch or paint or something.

Nice progress Dan and Roy. Eh . . . do we know
what this circle is or what it's covering up in the
pommel section? And is that a tiny black arrow
seemingly to point to the center?

Chaïm
 
Dan, this looks incredible, especially including the knurling on the mystery chunk. Would this be able to accept a static blade? I've never been a fan of lights and sounds, but if it can replicate the dueling rods... Either way I'd love to see the internal construction
