my god man this thing gets more and more beautiful with every update.
When i saw that first picture I though to myself "that thing must weigh a ton" then remembered its 3D printed material, fooling my brain there DC lol
cant wait to see what else you do to this, almost more then wanting to build my own

Thanks and no problem. I'm glad some people are finding the thread useful. No sense in doing it if not

Useful...it's like the Holy Grail of how to build a killer saber. It is a work of art my friend, need to walk it over to the MoMA and tell them you found their next piece!

Thank you sir. I've had fun building it which probably lends to how it's come out.

As a professional designer I can tell you that 80% of the creative process is changing your mind...and changing it again...and again. So yeah, I've changed my mind again.

The coiled tubes for the wiring turned out to not be too much with the other coils, so I went for it and it all looks quite nice together. I added some brass sleeves to create a little differentiation. The openings in the sleeves were done with the triangle jeweler's file and then the were cut at 45 degrees with a razor saw in a small hobby miter box.



And here's some eye candy of the lighting. I really like all the little areas the light shines through.
