After almost a month of work, it's finally complete. My first custom built lightsaber. This was definitely a learning experience and theres several things I would do differently if I could make another one, most notably making it easier to access the internals, but I'm proud of it as it is.
Features:
-MHS parts as a base
-3D printed grips
-Weathered with acid, lacquer, and literally banging it against rocks
-Slothfurnace ROTS Card
-Nano Biscotte v4
-Tri-Cree Green/Green/White LED
-Saber Essentials Stealth Speaker
-Recharge Port
-Loaded with the
General Highground soundfont by Saber Baron
The finishing process I used gives the metal sections a very slight orange sheen when its in direct light and I think thats pretty cool.
I hope to be able to build another lightsaber in the future but this was an expensive project so I'll probably have to put that idea on hold for a while.
