alexcaliburrito[TK] Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 I approached 5 different saber smiths and Kai was the only one that could/would do this. I sent him a reference picture and he made it look exact. I am really impressed with his work. He gave me a new update every day on the new tweaks and changes made along the way, which was awesome! It also only took him a few weeks to build, he had custom pieces 3D printed, soundboards perfectly installed. Gave me detailed instruction on what i can open/not open on it. It shipped from Germany to USA with no problem, well packaged. This is the guy you want building you a lightsaber. If i have any more custom builds in the future, im going to Kai! It costed me around $400, shipping included. Here is his page. https://www.etsy.com/shop/argentumsabers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
alexcaliburrito[TK] Posted December 30, 2015 Author Report Posted December 30, 2015 Kai got this saber to a working start, i have since then added lights and moved the charge port to the outside and made a more sturdy handle from an old flashlight. I wanted this thing to be a close to the 501st approved pic as I could. I will post a few updated pics soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

JAYSONCOMGUY Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 That looks amazing! Can I ask a totally dumb question? I'm clearly not enough of a super fan because I know nothing of stormtroopers wielding lightsabers. Are these part of the canon somewhere?--are they featured in books or comics? Sorry to be so clueless. I think yours looks great so I'm just really curious to learn about them. :-) Quote

ArkRaider Posted January 1, 2016 Report Posted January 1, 2016 I've always loved this saber design! I started to build it from PVC once but other things came up. I may need to revisit it. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote
alexcaliburrito[TK] Posted January 1, 2016 Author Report Posted January 1, 2016 I would be interested to see how your saber turns out once revisited. Quote
AdreNaLiNe Posted January 6, 2016 Report Posted January 6, 2016 What material is this made out of? It wasn't specified. Quote
alexcaliburrito[TK] Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Posted January 6, 2016 Everything is Metal, then painted white. Except for the side piece that holds the four 8mm mini lights, that was 3d printed. Quote
djmatrix09[TK] Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 I am thinking of modeling the TK laser sword in 3D, then shelling the inside to fit Darth Vader Force fx innards. Then cast it in resin, attach some greeblies, then add in the FX parts to complete. If it works, I might make kits available. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk 1 Quote
