FX-SABERS 2014 Negotiator Info and updates
« on: December 24, 2013, 03:08:50 PM »
FX-SABERS Negotiator / Parks Sabers Phaeton / Obi-wan Kenobi lightsaber

Hello Everyone
Starting in Late 2012 Parks and I began discussing the possibilities for creating
a New Negotiator / Obi-wan TPM Style saber hilt.
The objective was to produce a more accurately sized hilt that would have a Cohesive design to use
as FX-Sabers Negotiators, Parks Phase Sabers and Custom LED sabers.

By March of 2013 we had the Design all worked out for fitting different LEDs batteries and allowing for
various types of blades to be used.
Parks had the design mockup in solid works ready for starting production and so it began…






Fast forward 6 months… after many emails pictures a few adjustments and refinishing the hilts
they were ready to ship and although we were aiming for October it took a little longer still.














Now here we in December are and the evolution of this Hilt that has finally come into existence.










Steel Body
- Designed in Solidworks by Parks Sabers to FX-Sabers specifications -
- All body parts machined from solid steel.
- Outer grip, neck, emitter flange, pommel cubes, and emitter shroud are finished in bright dip / clear tool zinc.
- Inner grip, emitter body, and pommel are finished in bright dip / black tool zinc.

Hardware
- Custom stainless steel emitter shroud bezels with 10/32 threads.
- Custom machined brass knurled knob with 10/32 threads.
- Anodized aluminum red knob on/off switch.
- Very heavy and solid.
- Threaded Assembly.

Blade Chamber
- Emitter opened to hold 1 inch Blade or 7/8 Blade with inner tube.
- 1 inch O.D. Inner tube has 7/8" I.D. for components.

Battery Chamber
- Battery Bracket w/ Circuit board and Custom Spring for Holding (2) CR123 Size or (1) 18650 Cell.


Still to come…

Now that the Hilts and Parts are in my possession I am in the process of doing quality control and configuring
my initial design layout for the Conversion and interior Detailing.

I will be making these Sabers available through FX-SABERS at various levels of completion ranging from...
- Complete FX-SABERS Negotiator Systems with Sound and inner crystal chamber -
- DIY FX-SABERS assembly Kits with LED conversion parts and inner crystal chambers -
- Empty Hilts for custom DIY -

I will update everyone as I progress with the development of the Completed Sabers Systems and DIY Kits.
Thank you all for your patience and continued enthusiasm for FX-SABERS.



I will post updates in this section as things progress ;)

MTFBWY

YODA




Please note:
The basic 7/8th version of this hilt was released before I had been shipped all the parts to complete the units I have.
I do apologize for the delay in the Release and Introduction of this New Hilt but am doing what I must
to now move forward with production and distribution.

I've been contemplating exactly what I want these to look like and various other features I need to incorporate
to make everything work right.
The Steel is harder to work around but I assure you all once I have the first one ready and to my standards I'll post it up 8)

Whoa! How many of those are you going to sell? Is it stainless steel? And is it as thin as the one in the movie?

Is this a run that is going to start, or has it been postponed / abandoned?

I still have about a dozen hilts I plan to work with but am focused on my graflex
production right now.

Once I get that all settled in I'll get back on these so yes I am still planning on
doing something with them  :wink:
