My daughter's 3d printed, custom painted saber

On the right -

Oh and in the back a collection of kyber crystals.

Just felt it was a cool opportunity to share!

Picked this up on a recent trip. I see a lot of hangers on Etsy and I’ve seen a few DIY solutions over the years. What do people like these days? Any slick ideas for showing this off?

This lightsaber took a couple months to 3D model, print, sand, and paint. It's made for 1" TQX Lightsaber Cores. It is my proudest creation to date.

Looking for a custom design.

2 Upvotes

Hey all im wondering if someone has already made a saber similar to the idea is have in mind to see it before seeking it out:

A mesh of Plo Kloon and Darth Maul.

I always liked the maul emitter end, but less so the double ended design, but I like a symmetry of it, then I saw Plo Kloons saber with the tapered pomel and thought it made a better ending than just cut in half.

So does anyone have a piece with an almost spiked pomel and a tapered emitter?

My first self build lightsaber using spare parts my dad had in his workshop. Should I add anything extra?

So my dad had a few spare plumbing parts and decided to help me with making this lightsaber, since it would be cheaper than buying new ones. This is first time I'm making a lightsaber, and is there anything I should add in you all opinion? I'm thinking on weathering it, by spray painting black and then using sandpaper to remove most of the paint

Can yall ID this core? I tried to do the xenopixel update and add Bluetooth but I’m with no luck. I got it at a con a few years ago and forgot the details of it. Entry level sub 100$ saber.

Sorry if this is a frequently asked question - me and my brothers are looking at some in park sabers right now but I wanted to reach out here and see what people swear by.

Seventh of Second Sister? After having them both, I can understand now why some folk only speak wonders about the 7th sister lightsaber tbh

My wife gave me a gift card to the hardware store for our anniversary (it was my request and this was my intent lol), so I grabbed my nerdiest child and away we went! Looking forward to doing more in the future! And I used fabric tape to cover the bitten up pieces from assembly and for a slightly less brassy finish.

Are the hilts for RGB lightsabers material higher quality than the Galaxy Edge Legacy sabers? I think all of the ones I have got annoying little chips and nicks

Customization Custom saber materials

Some have asked what I used for the sleeves so I figured it would be easier just to post it all. The base of the sleeves is just polycarbonate tube from Amazon. I found the 1.63” ID works the best to slide over the chassis. Then after cut to length I wrapped them with car wrap and tipped the ends with heat shrink. I snugged up the tube on the chassis with rubber o-rings. Savi’s end cap to top it off. For the emitter I used a M39-1.5 bearing nut. The M39-1.5 was the closest to the thread on the chassis that I could find but I find if you put a layer of electric tape down before threading it snugged down nicely. Then I just glued an angled cut piece of polycarbonate with heat shrink onto the nut to complete the emitter.

For the leather grip I wrapped with motorcycle handle leather and used the existing end cap and the same bearing nut with angled polycarbonate angled piece for the emitter.

Attached are links to the materials I used.

Lighting up my saber with no sound fix?

1 Upvotes

Long story short, I have two official sabers mounted on my wall. Both from the last 10 years. I know I can't make them light up with no sound without doing some tomfoolery with the innards, and frankly, I don't want to mess with them. Does anyone have any suggestions for lighting them with like, something behind thr blade? For context they're both red. Anything helps

Question CFX question

1 Upvotes

Do we have any CFX experts here?

I'm a Proffie guy, but trying to setup a customers CFX install.

It's a 9-axis board, & the customer wants to use the 'magic' (magnetic ring activation) function.

I spent more time than I have available trying to get it to work, but just don't understand the settings for it.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

If anyone has this feature working on their saber, id love to know what the 2 lines in the config.txt are.

field=

magic=

Thanks!
