I don't have one myself, so can't test it directly. But I see that @jc2 's blog has a custom header.

From the album: DP's 3D Printed Stuff
Mockup of currently printed pieces. There are still a few internal bits needed, but it's primarily just the clamp left to go now. -

Booster main component. There are two more pieces still to be printed that act as inserts at each end and join with the clamp and handwheel, but those will mostly end up hidden. -

Balance pipe (emitter) printed in 4 separate pieces, two of which had to be glued together. I had to split one piece into two because of issues with bed adhesion. -
Yep, normal map functionality has been implemented. It was a two part issue, requiring both stuff in the model and saving the maps as TPCs. The models in this thread all use normal maps. There are some engine limitations regarding what you can do with them though, particularly when trying to combine them with envmaps.

From the album: DP's 3D Printed Stuff
Rough positioning of currently printed parts. Having the real thing in-hand, and going back and looking at reference pics, I think my handwheel is undersized. It's maybe in the ballpark of 80-90% of what the real thing looks to be. Unfortunately the only source of specific measurements I could find turned out to be primarily based on the ROTS hilt, which is wrong. So I guess I will be printing those parts again at some point. But I'll print everything else first, see how it all goes together. -

Dry fit assembly of the grenade parts. -

Grenade body. The end of an 11 hour print on the left, covered in support material. On the right, with support material removed. -

Off-topic but you need a stroke or drop shadow on that text. Either that or tone down the background.

Spawning an item in another module?
DarthParametric replied to Reztea's topic in General Kotor/TSL Modding
That would be a combination of scripting and plot flags I assume. The dialogue fires a script that sets the flag in one module, then the onload script in the other module checks the flag and spawns the item when it reads the proper value. -

Underside (left) and top (right) of the grenade wind vane. Still requires cleanup. There is a bit of spiderwebbing between the vanes. -

Handwheel parts in a dry fit assembly. -

Component parts that make up the handwheel, i.e. the pommel. -
Obi-Wan ANH Lightsaber 3D Printed Part 01
DarthParametric commented on DarthParametric's gallery image in Members Gallery
No. It will be a static display piece. No blade, lights, or other gimmicks. I'm not a fan of that stuff. -

Energy field? -

The first Obi-Wan saber part hot off the printer. -
Fixed Hologram Models and Admiralty Redux for TSLRCM
DarthParametric commented on DarthParametric's file in Mods
Cede only appears when Revan was set as male. That's the game determining that, it has nothing to do with the mod. -
It's a whole new world now. NWMax is old news.

Render of a CAD model of Obi-Wan's ANH lightsaber, made for 3D printing. Modelled by me using various references, mostly sourced from the RPF. -

A quick loading of the Obi-Wan ANH saber individual components in Slic3r to check for any problems with the STLs. Actual printing will mostly be done a single part at a time, aside from very small pieces. -
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:

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.
