Again - this is gorgeous! Almost identical to your prototype, so nothing much to add concerning the (awesome) core/chamber design...  :wink:

Judging by the cetificate, you finally plan to sell your sabers? Will you sell it on EvilBay or with a fixed price?

Wow, incredible work as always! How do you get the details on the outer shell? Is it etching or by hand? Or do you install other thin pieces on top?

There's no way to look at that and not WANT it!

Very well done!

Haha... Well, it's a fool's errand, boy. The Emperor's army is infinite. You'll eventually be killed... or worse... and nothing will have changed.

My favorite piece on the chassis has to be what you chose to do with the crystal. I love the shape and the fact that you included the metal accents on the crystal itself, as well as the snug fit as it slides into the chassis. Excellent craftsmanship and from someone with obviously a huge passion for the universe.

thanks all of you. I am happy that you like my work as I do!
I worked really hard on that piece.

The second Graflex has a lot modifications which are not obviously visible.
I changed some design elements. Like the chamber-gills or some parts on the energy coupler.
Also I changed some materials. Some disks are now from steel. These will be replaced in the next version with titanium.
I also added a guide pin for the locking mechanism. That makes it much easyer and safer connecting the chassis.
The cells got a extra holder for perfect placement (steel).

I hope that gives you all inspiration for your next builds!
Have fun and be creative. Nothing is impossible...

Thanks,

M.

3D printable chassis-parts for GraflexSaber...

I designed 3D printable chassis parts to create cheaper versions of my chassis :)
