Iris - A padawan saber

[JakeSoft]

I spent a few hours on Father's day finishing this build for my little padawan. At just under 9.5 inches, this is the smallest hilt I have ever built. Taking it for a test spin, I realized it would make a good one-hander for an adult, but it was of course specifically designed with a child's stature in mind.

Stats:

MHS Hilt
9½ inches
Protowerkstatt ProtoDuel RGB sound board (with stock fonts)
Tri-Cree RGB LED
12mm AV switch
Internal 2.1mm recharge port
18650 3.7V 2600mAh Li-Ion Battery
PVC/Polyurethane homemade chassis
20mm Speaker

I deeply recessed the switch to avoid accidental pressing by an inexperienced user. I can operate it OK, but it is of course intended for little hands.

Nice! There is beauty in it's simplicity. Glad to see you back!

Thanks! Yeah, simple by design for sure. I figured that was probably best for a child's first saber.

Yup, not that many knobs and buttons in the way. Still good looking and I bet it'll make a great dueler.

Nice one! I Love these tiny simple builds. I did a similar one, same size for my niece last year. They're great little sturdy bashers
