In regards to the setup, I know it will have a CF 7.5 and a Tri LED, but will it have the CEX as well or just the CF by itself?

I posted this in the split off topic but decided to post it here as well.  Please drop the LS from discussion in this thread...it is just not an option for this run and is not up for discussion at this point.


LOL at how this escalated.  Here is the thing...I have nothing against LS and it has its place just as the regular LED does.  Both are great technologies and everyone has their preferences.  There is nothing at all wrong with that.  I like both though I do not personally have any LS sabers anymore.

The problem is we did not design the hilt for LS and we are keeping things as simple as possible to make it more affordable and easier for installs as well.  The only option this run will have will be the color of the FoC you want...no CS, no PC...just CF 7.5 and a tri-LED.

While I completely understand people wanting an LS it is just not an option for the said run.  I am really sorry that I cant accommodate everyone with this run as much as I would like to...I just cant.  If you want to get it, sell the CF7.5 and LED and put a LS in then that is your prerogative and you will probably come out about the same in the end had I offered it but it will not be an option from me.  I do not want to dissuade people from buying on the run but I am just not offering them in an LS format. 



on the brightness side of things will the led be in the emitter or behind the neck section?



When designing the saber with the machinist we had some options.  We could have larger blade depth or a brighter blade.  I want to keep this 100% accurate but I also wanted brightness.  I decided to put the LED in the emitter and lose some blade depth because the hole for the neck on this saber is really small and I felt it would be dim especially with a tri LED.  We also decided to keep the blade holder at the correct length for accuracy so it reduces depth there.  The blade depth is roughly the same as the MKIII so it shouldn't be an issue at all but with the LED being right under the blade it will be plenty bright.

No it will not have a CEx.

Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.

Is there a ballpark estimate for this?  As it won't be an empty like the skinnyflex, it's obviously going to be more, yet it would be a great set.

Well I think it will be OK to put it here because we have decided on the price and payment structure.  Once we get the wording hammered out for everything we will post the run thread officially.

The cost will be $1300 plus shipping.  $400 deposit to get on the run, $300 once the hilts are machined and the rest once the installs are done.  That will give you the opportunity to buy in for cheaper, make another payment down the road and be left with a final payment once the sabers are complete.

There will be 20 slots max.

$1300? *whistles* Do I get a cut for selling you my eFx Obi ROTS, Chewie?  Seems only fair. ;D

Kidding, of course. Just hope I can jump on this when the slots open.

so sorry for the delay.  I have been swamped with work on a couple of down servers and I am just behind.  I hope to have everything posted tonight.

Awesome saber, congrats on whoever is able to get in on the run!

Just a side thought... If you are having accurate "gear" greeblies made for the side of the saber by the box, you could probably sell any extras handily. I know many, including myself, have looked for one and not found much except 3D printed pieces... wink wink. ;)

I moved your post here to get it out of the run thread.

I have already had extra star greeblies made when I did them for my hybrid saber.  I just do not know what to charge yet.
