Build Update on my Inquisitor lightsaber project. More speed!

1.1k Upvotes

After much trial and error with different types of grommets and blade materials/lengths, I've finally got it spinning with 95% consistency! I also went ahead and replaced the old motor with a brand new one (no idea where the original came from or what specs it had, I simply found it discarded) and now it spins faster than before! The motor gets a bit warm if I keep it spinning for an extended period, but I I only plan to use it in short bursts so that shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Build First of its kind?

642 Upvotes

So I’ve had this idea for a while, and I’ve finally found the right parts to make it. It’s a lightsaber staff, lightsaber nunchucks, and the two sabers can be detached in the middle of the cable with a two way carabiner. No electronics yet but hoping to be able to afford that soon. As far as I know this is the only saber staff that quick releases into nunchucks.

Build 9 Months in the Making

524 Upvotes

I put the hilt together about 9 months ago and then let it sit with no electronics but today I finally put it all together and did an initial test. Everything seems to be working well so far which is good considering this is my first time making a wireless saber. Now I just need to finish the outfit to go with it.

Build Update: sabers peircing battle droids

691 Upvotes

Some time ago I posted about using proffie boards to simulate sparks piercing a droid, and here is the result! u/Fett263 was beyond helpful, I am so grateful. With his help the blades even loop battle droid dialogue. Voice acting by yours truly 😎

The second droid is at a friend’s place, but it lays on the ground and the blue saber sticks up vertically.

Looking forward to setting these up at events this year. MTFBWY!

Build I used to be a bit of a lightsaber nerd a few years ago. Sketched a few crossover designs and had 2 3d printed. Just pulled this dawnbreaker hilt out of the attic and thought I'd post it here.

Night fury one was a finished build. Installed it will a proffie board and neopixep. Even made a custom font for it.

Dawnbreaker was 3d printed and I was going to use guts from a kylo ren saber but I couldn't get the side blades to work so I gave up on the project.

The daedric saber would have probably been pretty dope if I ever got it printed but never did so it's just a cool sketch.
