Pic 3: 3D printed non-destructive grip assembly. Needs tweaking for scale

I've named it the Dark Lord of the Shelf, because with a PLA blade holder, it will never see a duel.

Outstanding!

Thanks Girot!

I printed some new longer/beefier grips today. I'll post them if I get a chance tomorrow.

I still have lots of sanding to do

New beefier grips. You can also see the dual third-generation Saber Information Modules in the clamp there

I hate doing anything destructive to these handles. They will never be anything but lightsabers again, but it bugs me to just drill into them.
So I designed a pommel that uses the Heiland's threads to stay on, and is nice and open to let sound out. Took several tries, but I finally got the threads perfect. Even with a battery bouncing around in there (which the eventual custom chassis will prevent) it stays on like a champ. Looks really cool with the bass speaker's chrome cone in there, too

I'll put up an actual pic later. This is a render from the Thingiverse page that has all these 3D files.
