Cal's lightsabe build and addons

Finally I'm back from my trip, I loved every minute of it, but I want straight up to finish up Cal's lightsaber, insert electronics and take a few photos of video to show you what it looks like when done.

You asked for the staff version of the hilt,, so i added another grip that will turn the one handed lightsaber into a staff version but just in case you missed it - the hilt 2 that i released before is also a staff version, it can also fit electronics, so to recap now you can use this lightsaber as follows:

1 - single handed lightsaber
2 - saberstaff option 1
3 - saberstaff option 2
4 - and you can print 2 of option 1 to get double single handed lightsabers

When it comes to the stand for the led's, as per your request i have made the insert holes for the wires wier, leaving only a small notch where the led will rest so you can position it there ( hot glue might seem to be the best when it comes to that)

Attached and in the google drive folder you will see a video of the finished print/build :)

I have seen 2 posts in the FB group someone was having trouble with inserting electronics, if you do experience this, please let me know so we can check whats going on and compare electronics just in case, but as you can see in my photos/videos, the lightsaber works as intended :)

So refresh the Cal Kestis folder , new parts are kocated in the "stl" folder - "hilt 1 staff addon"  and "stand" folder

and there is also a "finished photo and video" folder in the main folder where you can see examples of my functional build :)

Sorry for the basic question but I want to build the version that we insert the aliexpress saber into it. Which version do I print? Hilt 1, Hilt 2, experimental? Just finished the game so of course I have to build this!! Thanks!

so all the verions are compatible with electronics, they are just diferent hilt options, that look diferent, check the photos, decide wich version you wish to print and then just print the part for those versions . hilt 1 is the standard cal kestis hilt - hilt 2 is the staff from jedi survivor and experimental is for people who had variations of electronics/ diferent than the ones in my link :)

You are awesome!! With the new channels on the stans I had them all wired together to a USB plug in like 30 minutes... took me that long just to try to drill a channel bigger on the previous ones!!
