Lightsabers and stand ;)
Sorry for not checking in for a while, but let me show you what a build looks like that has enough time spent on it :)
I'm sure many of you were expecting this one, and it was just a matter of time , so here it is :)
Cal Kestis lightsaber from the Jedi survivor game.
The entire build is modular, meaning you can switch between parts with the screw on mechanism ( tested, its strong, very strong :) )
Why is that important ? well not only do you have 2 hilts featured here in this release, but it will also allow us to add modular parts to lightsaber builds down the line so you can easily switch between parts making your own lightsabers :)
But of course these lightsabers are functional - meaning they use real lightsaber electronics and "blade" so you can build your own functional lightsabers as with my older designs.
You can build 2 lightsabers in this release, so you can switch between one handed saber and staff mode if you choose to do so.
I also included a non functional version if you wish to print display pieces only
The second part of the build is something i also had fun with - the lightsaber display stand - i wanted it to be a bit special, so i designed the stand so the lightsaber hilts actually rest on 5 mm led's giving the illusion the lightsabers are held in mid air by some "light technology"
The build is rather simple, just use 5 mm leds, wires, and connect them to a battery, the stands are hollow on the bottom so you have room for battery
to recap, included are:
1 - Cal Kestis lightsaber - single handed ( jedi survivor) - functional and non functional
2 - Cal Kestis lightsaber - dual handed (jeid survivor) - functional and non functional
3 - single part LED stand
4 - 2 part LED stand
5 - single part non led stand
6 - 2 part non led stand
The stands can be combined to provide even more stand options.
Happy printing , i've allrady started printing mine :)

Are folks making this stand with separate power and switch in each side? Doesn't seem like enough thickness in the bridge to run a channel underneath to unit the lights
What is the real saber blade and electronics? I mean can you link it?
The links are in the project folder :)
@mysterymakers are the m3 bolts and nuts just for aesthetic on the non-functional versions?
for the non functional print version use non funtional parts, there are no need for m3 bolts and nuts then as they dont have the cutouts for the buttons
I think widening the channels all the way through would be a huge help
done :D
Anyway you could make the led channels a bit bigger? Getting the wires through is rough and at the top whereh LED sits my wire shrink wrap can't fit in the hole. Fantastic models and the prints on the saber has been a breeze!
sure, by how much ? only the holes for the wires, or the entire slots ?
so small tier doesn't get these files?
unfortenatelly no
I just subscribed. Is there any way i can het tis file?
yes, the moment you joined an automated email with files, welcome models, and May 2023 folder was sent to your email inbox ( these files are in the may 2023 folder) just in case i will send the links here to your patreon inbox as well :)
So the leds holds the lightsaber?
yup :)
Awesome stuff! Will you be adding the broken handle from the first game?
Love this! Any chance to get the middle grip to allow for double emitters so we can double blade?
there are double emmiters for double blade :)
I just resubscribed, can I be added to the folder?
a link should have been sent to you automaticlly, one moment let me check what happened :)
Am i the only one who soes not see the folder?
even after refreshing ? drop me a message if you can't find it, we'll figure it o ut :)
Just in time since I just got the box set from Galaxies Edge on “Star Wars day”🤘😎🤘
I almost got it but that price though and it didn’t come with the blades. I have 4 already but this is definitely dope
So glad I didn’t buy the Galaxy’s Edge version of this! This looks amazing Marko!
I have both the original and the new but these will be MUCH lighter to carry.
Looks Great! I cant decide which saber to print first though!
Sounds like you need another printer so you can print both at the same time🤣
Looking excellent, can't wait to get this printing! One thing - looks like there should be pins connecting Pommel 1 & 2 but didn't see any, are those holes just to reduce materials?
oh no , you are correct , its the standard 8x8 pins, i use them so much in every project i always forget to add them, just hit refresh in a few moments, they will be in thre :)
