I obtained an incredibly beautiful hilt with remarkable potential from Do-Clo via Ebay a few weeks ago and have since done a bunch of work to bring about the birthing of Ravenous.

She has a custom removable chassis, so she can be recharged or she can swap out her 14500 batteries for new ones

She has a custom illuminated momentary anti-vandal switch

Her LED is a RED/O

I have kept the standard sound fonts so far, but have reprogrammed the accent LEDs functioning

I need to repaint the black on the hilt with a more durable epoxy based paint as the paint on the hilt easily rubs off. I will do this soon.

Clicky pics:

This is how she looked when I first got her:

Well Dang that's absolutely georgeous.  :o

Don I keep saying this is your best but you keep changing my mind. 

Can we get some more pics that are closer so we can see the detail?  That is just stunning.

I just find myself staring and staring at the pics.  I have to say it has a very Mace like feel to it.  The polished brass really makes the saber.

That is one really nice saber. Love how the LED lights up the switch. The more I see, the more impressed I am...
...and the more I'm tempted to buy my own Do-Clo saber!  :D

I just looked at the video again, ....how small is that hilt?  It looks cool, and fairly short.

That is a truly gorgeous saber.  

I don't mind confessing that it actually HURTS to watch a CF saber in action, they sound so pretty.

I agree.  It appears to be the perfect size.

Indeed, this community is lucky to have Don.

Beautifuls doesn't even begin to describe it XsaberX,  you've definitely outdone yourself ;D

I MIGHT sell it. Not yet.

WOW XsaberX. That is really impressive. Do-Clo does excellent work! How long ago was that auction, ....I watch alot of them, ...never saw this on ebay!
Congrats on a great find!

I've had the hilt for a few weeks, so the auction was probably about a month ago, maybe a little more

I just find myself staring and staring at the pics.  I have to say it has a very Mace like feel to it.  The polished brass really makes the saber.

I did sand down some of the sharp machined edges, gave it a 2000 grit beauty sand, and then polished it up a bit. After I repaint it, I'm going to give it the full workover  :)

I just looked at the video again, ....how small is that hilt?  It looks cool, and fairly short.

The hilt is 10.5 inches long. It is short. That is partly why it was difficult to arrange the innards, especially with it allowing for the chassis to slide in and out.

I watched this saber... I had it on my list of ones I was watching... I figured some stranger bought it. I was wrong.

What you did with the saber, is awesome. The sound font, even cooler. I love the activation button. when you pulled the chassis out of the hilt in the video, (Which I watched first) I was like, "There's no batteries!" Then you turned it over, and BAM! there they were. Very compact, very nice looking. Congrats on the saber score!

That thing would look great with a cyan... or an white P4... ;) ;) ;D
