So well composed! I love the 70s feel to this.
Ahah, I see what you've done now. That makes sense. Another option (not sure it would work) might be to use a continuous piece of cloth hose for the grip, but cut large windows in it as you would a...
The switch box certainly makes this unique! Is there any way to use the cloth hose segment around the handle instead of the yellow strip?
The unnamed saber is stunning! It reminds me of knuckle bones. Talorum is Latin for dice.
Fun shape to it! Quillion looks like it blocks swings under the blade, another option might be to have it come out the side of the hilt (not sure which side, not bottom where I imagine it is now, nor...
Nice saber! I like the cast iron look of it.
I like the Dooku inspired grip and the shroud work is very precise. Excellent weathering too, it really does look Star Wars-y.
I love this saber, it had my vote in Group B. The holster-cap is very inventive.
The two speakers and ball gem make a really beautiful chamber. I also like how sleek this looks. Great name too.
And nicely run, FJK! The adaptive process was very fair and smooth.
I like the colours on this, particularly the dark iron.
Such a romantic saber! I really like the fluid asymmetry of the rear shroud and of course the etching. The perfect gift.
That's an incredible build log. Great improvisation and patience, getting everything to fit together so sweetly. I didn't fully appreciate the crystal chamber or the etching when I voted for this in...
The support for accent LEDs is limited to 20mA. You could supply 10mA (using the right resistor) to each of the solo accent LEDs, wiring them in parallel.
So additional current for the PLI LEDs...
From my experience with Shapeways it is possible to design your own trim rings and get it right first time, but 3D printing them is significantly more expensive than ordering from TCSS. 4x-8x for...
It looks like a dental floss pick. That would require some serious force skills.
This was definitely worth voting for. I thought the box fit well with the hexagon-curves of the etching. It is a very simple design but has complexity in the weathering and etching. The etched areas...
I agree, the heavy patina with polished rim and the etched scales were two very beautiful and creative directions. The pommel blends well with the scales.
Kudos on submitting a very worthy saber....
A chassis builder is fraught with difficulty. Using a standard speaker holder would work. Using TCSS spacers, acrylic disks, TCSS batteries and Plecter boards then perhaps a standard chassis could be...
That's beautiful! The purple was an inspired choice and the crystal chamber works really well. It's great to see so much collaboration executed so well.
Thank you DarthFender. I have the same issue so this gives me hope. I tried dremmeling a slot in the screw head for a regular screwdriver but I lacked finesse.
I have removed some of Tim's powdercoat by sanding, and using a retractable razor knife.
The sandpaper worked just fine for the small area I was targeting since it was raised (embossed) - I could...
I am really excited by these developments. With regards to blue light being turned green, do you get a sense of any blue light leaking through? Is there a teal tinge to the blade?
This could be a...
Beautiful photos of the workplace! I get a sandcrawler vibe. Very impressive saber so far too.
