Re: Kylo Ren Helmet + Lightsaber Scratch Build
One Kylo Ren Lightsaber! (near enough) All that's left to print is the bottom piece, the inside details of the crossguard, and the saber clip. Had to cut the crossguard down the middle, and print in 2 pieces, which is fine, but for some reason I got a little bit of warping, so Will require a little more work sanding/filling. But the rest of the saber is more or less faultless. It's printed very cleanly, much to my surprise!
The scale seems about right. It's around 27cm tall. It's got decent weight to it aswell. Little top heavy, but that makes sense. With a steel rod down the middle, it should help a little.
But overall, very pleased with how this has turned out, and with the small tweaks I've made to the bottom pieces (once re-printed) I'll be much happier with the overall profile. I think I've got it relatively accurate. I just hope I can do it justice when it comes to painting..
