  1. Doing some CAD work instead of 3D modelling for a change of pace. Going to put my 3D printer through its paces.

      No, as I said in the first post, this is a CAD model that will be 3D printed. So it will be a real physical object. Once it is exported as STLs for printing, it will be millions of polygons. Far too dense for use in a game. Besides, there are already mods that add Obi-Wan's ANH saber if you want a game version. I think one of Oldflash's ones adds it.

       

      Further update - the clamp is mostly done, just need to add the transistors and the calculator bubble strip:

      So... things just got real here. I'm going to find a merchant selling Jedi robe in my town then; if there's any 🙃

      I think it is pretty much done now. Comprises about 17 different components:

      All that remains is the D-ring and the clamp bolt, but I think I will use actual metal parts for those. There's also something that sits inside the emitter, but I'm not 100% on the specifics of that - need to do some more research. I might also need to make some sort of insert that sits inside the clamp, to make it a bit more solid. This seems to be something people do when making props from real or replica parts.

      Edit: Revised a few edges with some fillets. Updated pics.
