Title: MPP Darth Vader US 2.5 and removable battery chassis
Post by: KAO CEN DARACH on April 20, 2014, 11:58:27 AM
Hi y'all,

commissioned many moons ago by a customer who wanted a Darth Vader Replica. Rest was up to us and we tried to get what he wanted within budget.

Started off by getting one of JQsabers MPP kits and started thinking about turning it into a working saber. We came up with a custom 3D designed battery chassis which would also house the US 2.5 pcb. Switch solution was also 3D printed. Blade holder and adapter tube were machined by us.

Some build pics :
