Title: K3GR2 - Rogue
Post by: cannibal869 on September 18, 2014, 10:37:04 AM
First off, I apologize - this is going to be a LOOOOONG post....


K3GR2 Entry:  Cannibal869

ROGUE

This saber draws its inspiration from a backstory akin to that of Kyle Katarn.  I had envisioned a mercenary type individual who was inexplicably “drawn” to Ruusak, but was unexpectedly stranded there for a short time when his ship was damaged during entry.  During that time, with limited resources, this person stumbled into the Valley of the Jedi, and was mentored by a force spirit in the ways of the Force.  The following saber is the result of that journey – constructed from random scavenged assembled parts from his downed ship and his own personal blaster weapon, it had some already existing minor weathering from previous battles and scars.  I wanted it to look “used, but taken care of.”

From a build standpoint, it took me quite a while to come up with the initial design layout.  Looking at the original bare K3GR2 hilt, I tried to think of something original and unique.  I knew we were all going to start at a similar origin point – bare hilt, sound board, battery pack, speaker, blinkies…. We’ve all built sabers before.  We all know what they can do.   I wanted to push myself to do something that I had never seen done before.  To start, I designed and tried to emulate an aluminum crystal chamber core in the style of Goodman.  On one side of the cylinder is the milled out crystal chamber, which eventually got an external PC coating of (weathered) black chrome, and on the other sides of the cylinder are the bargraph and wire mounting channels.  I also wanted to try something different with the blinkies – taking inspiration from many other saber designs.  I milled out brass tube channels into the choke, milled slots into the brass tubes themselves, affixed fiber optic cables into the tubes, and mounted 3mm yellow LEDs at the end of each tube for a unique take.   I also wanted to make my own custom activation box.  Normally I’m not a huge fan of external boxes, but for this particular build, I felt it “worked” with the overall theme.  Unfortunately, this took multiple tries to get “just right”.   Yeah, I know - we’ve all been there… Finally I made my own speaker holder out of PVC – I wanted to mount my speaker sideways in the hilt, utilizing the rear hilt section like the BOSE acoustic cannon.  The reasons for this were the following:  I wanted some of the blue “candle flicker” LEDs to be able to shine through to the pommel, and I wanted to have easy access to the MicroSD card, even through the speaker mounting. 

TOOLS USED:
LMS Mini-Mill and Mini-Lathe, Dremel, sandpaper, hand files, aluminum black and garden rocks/pebbles for weathering.

HILT SPECS:
Custom lathed and milled crystal chamber choke insert with wire / bargraph channels.
Custom shroudwork to suggest previous origin as scavenged blaster and ship parts.
Peripheral “ring” of 3mm yellow LEDs around the choke section.

Custom PVC speaker mount.
Hand etched outlined aurebesh engraving

BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!

that's right saberfans... when I said that I envisioned my fictional jedi using a blaster to help construct the saber, I was really thinking of making a saber that could be used as a blaster.  Originally I had contacted Erv' to see if he could make me a special reflashed CF - one where once you attached the handle (and made some kind of bridged connection), the blaster sound font would be automatically selected.  Unfortunately, it was not meant to be....

Additional hilt specs:
rare earth magnets
custom machined aluminum blaster handle
custom made blaster stand with built-in recharge port

Here was my original concept - the idea that started me down this crazy path...

I love this saber.  I was blown away by the fact that it could be converted to a blaster too.

Awesome work cannibal.

This is one of the greatest sabers ever made.

Love the video,... my favorite music tracks... love the tubular brass LED accents,... love the control box,.. one of my favorite aspects of this...

Really great job on this. The blaster extension part is just too much for me to comprehend right now...

Amazing job, out of this world machining without CNC aid it seems. It definitely needs custom firmware to make it act like a blaster with the handle plugged in.

Dude, this is the only saber I have seen to date that rivals the cool features of Madcow's personal saber (forget it's name  :-\ ) sorry Rob  :shy:

Amazing saber, amazing backstory, amazing blaster feature. It all fit's together so well, the saber looks great in both blaster and saber configuration, and that stand man....

Basically this is my favorite saber design yet, and I don't have to think twice about it  ;D

That is the most amazing saber-blaster! I love the knurled locking screw inside the pistol grip, that's ingenious engineering. Along with so many other features. The lit brass tubes are incredible. So much imagination in this.

I'm so blown away, I feel nauseous... Then when I saw the blaster conversion, chunks flew out of my nose sockets.  Omg, great execution.  I'm predict a trend in the near future. Wow.

It's been an honor being in this contest. Everyone brought something unique to the table and it's been great fun to see everyone's designs. Rogue is truly a work of sci-fi art and great execution of a very original idea. Well deserved win ! :)

what happens when the gun grip is fitted is it running from a blaster core? or is it still the cf? and how exactly does that work?
how are you getting blaster fx and not saber?

I can see you have a 'trigger' set up on the gun handle section, if it works as an aux switch then I guess on almost any saber font you could use the blaster block sounds, by 'pulling' the trigger. Kudos on the build, love the vertical mounted speaker. So much lateral thinking on a saber that once again lifts aloft the high water mark for build ideas/inspiration! I hope you get to look at this every day and enjoy your efforts.

Congratulations on a very well deserved victory...in fact this whole saber is so stuffed to the limits - and beyond - with Epic Win that you've utterly shattered paradigms of what we thought sabers could be...BRAVO!

I am almost glad I didn't get in to the contest because now I can steal ideas for my own Kegger 2. ;) 

Just kidding...though I'm sure that this build will have so many admirers that it will inspire other builds for years to come - you've really raised the bar and we will all have to up our games which will be good for the entire saber hobby...Thanks for that.

Does this mean that the K3GR2 will eventually be offered as a run, or are you just in with the right people? ;)

Some of us bought them but were unable to participate in the contest due to time constraints.

Huh. This must have happened before I became a member around here, or maybe I just missed it completely haha.

Or was this run not available to the general populace from the get go?

JSSDC is a different forum.  This run occurred there as Wat mentioned in the contest post JSSDC K3GR2 Saber run and contest (http://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/index.php?topic=44754.0).

Luminara is correct...sorry for any confusion my ill fated attempt at humour caused. Let me be clear my intention is never to copycat anyone else's work but I do seek inspiration from the best work of peers and this is fine work indeed. My point was that this great saber is full of brilliant ideas that were brilliantly executed which thus can and I believe will inspire many people in the saber building hobby. Such inspiring masterpieces are good for the entire community and therefore praiseworthy imo.

Ah, I think that is what I was confused on. I thought JSSDC was something akin to the S.A.B.E.R. Guild, I did not realize it was a place, so to speak. Although it seems that many of the people in the Guild and older members here are also members at JSSDC, so I am assuming is an exclusive place that not everyone can be a part of, thus the run on JSSDC not being a run available to the public?

That's correct. JSSDC is a private forum, that's invite only. If you have further questions about it, send me a PM.

Back on topic of this epic build.

ding ding ding ding!!!

Yes, it's still off of the CF, I just copied some of Erv's Blastercore sounds into the sound bank.  ;)
