Title: Force Relics presents : the Orgus Din 'proof of concept' Petit Crouton 3.0
Post by: KAO CEN DARACH on January 19, 2014, 06:02:36 AM

Force Relics proudly presents :
Orgus Din Petit Crouton 3.0

This one has been in development for quite some time but we finally managed to take it to the finish recently. As we're both big SWTOR fans, the Orgus Din was something we would love to have in our collection. The journey started last year with 3D design, alot of research and challenges. With the latest technology from Plecterlabs, FR 3D design, FR powdercoating and FR wood engraving combined you can take a look at what was accomplished :

Orgus Din Petit Crouton 3.0 by Force Relics - YouTube (http://youtu.be/iWXR4BzWQtI)

Let's start off with a little Q and A :

Q : will you be planning a run ?
A : yes we are. A limited run of 20-25 seems realistic at this point depending on interest.

Q : What kind of pricing are we talking about ?
A : This has yet to be decided.

Q : Will you offer the 'proof of concept' Orgus Din up for sale ?
A : Yes we will. We are planning to offer this one up for sale at a more economic price then the ones that will be in the run.

Q : For the run : is what we see here going to be what we are getting in the 'run version' ?
A : Almost, yes. The 'proof of concept' Orgus Din will be very close to the 'run' version but we are going to change the wood coloring and some other more technical challenges we encountered.

Q : Will you be offering alumide kits ?
A : yes, pricing yet to be determined.

Q : Will you be offering full PC 3.0 installs ?
A : Absolutely. Pricing to be determined.

Q : This one is 3D printed alumide. Will you offer a 'full metal' version ?
A : This was a challenging project to begin with. For now this is what we have. We need to research this option. At this point we'd have to say no.

There you have it. What do y'all think ? :)

One of my all time favorite saber designs. Up to this point I thought I was going to custom machine one myself (or convince Goodman to do another one). This might just be what I was looking for.

Great work guys. Looking forward to hear the details about the run.

Thanks fr the kind words everyone!

We will have some more details on the run soon. Keep your eyes on the forums :)

Regarding size, we tried to get it as close as possible to the original design. As you can see in the video, it's not a HUGE hilt. It only has an ID of 29 mm.

dude, thats awesome! I was just thinking to myself that this saber would look perfect with some weathering on the alumide to show less grain and give the etching some contrast and depth - cool that you have a technique for it!

That's a nice belt ornament you've got there. But how will she hold up on the field of battle?

Not recommended :)

The Orgus can probably withstand some duelling, but it's definitely not recommended with all the detailing, inlays etc...

This would be a custom order, we will have to look into this. The install is pritty cram-fu as is.
I'm not saying "no", but we'll have to look into detail for the possability, if you are serious about getting in on this run.
