Done / Completed Luke / Vader ANH shared stunt saber kit

Hi everyone, this is the big release announcement message,

The pre-release for customers that are signed up both on my website and on this run's list will happen Saturday 8th at 8PM CET (Paris Time (UTC+2))
this is exactly 48h from this message time stamp.

Public release will be 48h after this, so on Monday 10th at 8PM CET.


I'm sorry the pre-release is during the week end, I hope it is ok for everyone, always hard to plan the end of a run, give a headsup and all.

I'm going to tag everyone from the interest list so everyone gets notified.

Customers that are already registered on the website as of now, you'll get access to that pre-release at the announced hour and date above. those customers are:

as always, I hope everyone is still excited by this run, it is slightly delayed but I think not too much and I hope I was communicative enough to keep the excitment going :)
Important note if you are not interested anymore: by courtesy for my hard work and money spent to fund that run upfront myself, please send me a message to let me know, i won't hold it against you, I promise, but that way I know I'm not to wait for your order. However, no order + no message = blacklisted from my future runs. It is happening more and more lately and it is actually costing me money and stress, not getting in touch on top of it is rude, so those people are blacklisted for me now. I spent months on this, I just ask for one minute of your time to send me a message, that's all. Again, I completely understand if you can't afford it anymore or your situation changed, as long as you send me a message to let me know you won't be buying this time. thank you :)

I'll be publishing photos and details tomorrow when everything is finished. In the meantime here is the final list of options and prices for that run.
Please understand that this interest request was launched without a prototype as it wasn't initially intended to be a big run. The goal price announced was 75€ + shipping for the base kit containing 3 main parts.
I have added the ball bearing and a white rubber grommet to the base kit and have worked hard to manage to keep that final base offering to 77€ in the end, the surprises with the wrong red button thread size was also costly. This is very close and I think still very cheap for that offering so I hope everyone will agree with this.

There are 5 options in total and a wiring kit to try and content everyone from builder to hardcore collector,
all options are still called "kit" as they still need a red button, glass eye, clamp and grips sourced separately.
Price doesn't include shipping costs.
here are the different options:
21x motorized sabers: 199€ (fully assembled motorized kit)
9x static assembled sabers: 120€ (fully assembled kit with a double core for a manualy rotating emiter rod)
15x motor ready kits: 110€ (un-assembled kit with all parts to build a motorized saber except the motor and the battery pack)
9x advanced kits: 100€ (un-assembled kit + stainless steel rod, full pre-assembled wiring kit and white switch)
9x base kits: 77€ (main tube, attached emiter core with ball bearing, back cap, white wire grommet)
4x wiring kit with switch: 19.75€ (full pre-assembled wiring kit and white switch)

alright, this is the big announcement for this run, I hope everybody will be happy with the options, prices and release, always stressful!
I worked really hard on this run for the best parts possible AND to be really affordable, I actually have a couple days of delay compared to my planned amount of days spent but didn't want to increase the prices for you guys now. I really hope you'll be happy with the parts!!
I can tel you I am, I honestly really love both sabers I'm building for myself :)

cheers all!

so this is not just a long text message, here is a photo of a bunch of almost finished (functional already) motorized sabers :)

I can’t believe the day is coming. Thank you so much for doing this run, from everyone in the community :)
 
Thank you so much eethan. You’re an absolute legend! Now if someone could shed light on how they plan to cut the two grips around the switch and also grip length, alignment etc. I know eethan said they were 92-94mm but do we have some kind of a blueprint to guide our assembly?

I can edit some kind of blueprint for the grips but it won't be 100% accurate as the refs are not as precise. But can give an idea
 
thank you guys for the kind words,
I think i'll be posting a lot of things today, that is if I have the time to make everything fit in that day!

first info is that considering the feedback I got since yesterday, there seem to be a lot of interest in the motorized version, since I had extra parts for safety, I have converted 2 motor ready kits into additional assembled motorized sabers.
that means now 23x motorized versions, 13x motor ready versions.

second info, just finished a grip template for you guys.
print this at 100% with your own printer, measure the black lines at the bottom for confirmation size is spot on. cut around the main rectangle and align it to your lightsaber thanks to the 2 electronics holes, that's it :)
the placement cannot be 100% verified, this is not the DV6 or Barbican, the refs are a bit more blurry and scarce, so this is the best I could do for alignment, but that will give a good base of accuracy already I think :)

back later for photos I hope!
cheers all
 
This is the second information for today,
to address the question by Sithslayer yesterday, I'll be offering pairs of pre-cut, machined wannawanga grips to go around the switch, just like they did on the original, for people that prefer a cleanly machined set and don't want to have to deal with trying that themselves :)
Those will only work for people using Wannawanga grips, this is all I have on hand, I hope it will already be helful for a few people. You'll need to complete the set according to my blueprint above with 5 other grips.
the cuttout is very clean as it is milled with a very good 16mm carbide end mill, the depth and diameter match my 3D model.

Set of two wannawanga pre-cut machined grips for the switch cuttout: 15€

complimentary to this base kit is the wiring kit for people that didn't buy the more advanced kits but want to go further with the base kit.
This is already part of the advanced, motor ready and motorized options.

ANH stunt saber wiring kit: 19.75€

includes:
- pre wired twisted white wire with 2 white Anderson plugs attached. This goes into the small hole on the hilt, the short wire goes to the switch, the long wire goes directly to the motor.
- 2x pre wired 60cm long white wire with 2 red Anderson plugs attached. This is for the battery pack.
- 1x white switch and white nut with 1x 25cm long wire that goes to the motor.

still working on the photos for the more advanced options. thank you for your patience :)
 
thank you guys!

Now for the more advanced kits!

ANH stunt saber advanced kit: 100€
Can be used for a complete display look with wires and rod in the emiter, or can be used as a base for motorizing the saber. The motor ready option available separately contains more parts to motorize the kit though.

contains:
- main tube
- attached emiter core with ball bearing
- back cap (to be glued or fit with tape or something, read disclaimers below)
- 14cm long stainless steel rod
- white rubber wire grommet
- white switch
- pre-assembled wiring kit

ANH stunt saber motor ready kit: 110€
This contains all the parts you need to build a motorized saber except for the motor itself and the battery pack.

contains:
- main tube
- attached emiter core with ball bearing
- attached motor spacer ring inside the tube with 2 set screws to secure the motor through it
- motor/rod 4mm/8mm coupler
- back cap (to be glued or fit with tape or something, read disclaimers below)
- 14cm long stainless steel rod
- white rubber wire grommet
- white switch
- pre-assembled wiring kit

in clear, compared to the advanced kit, it has a motor/rod coupler and an already attached motor spacer ring inside the tube. You can see the set screw in the middle of the tube.

And finaly for the higher end options,

ANH stunt static saber kit (assembled): 120€
It is an assembled offering with a double core for a manually rotating emiter rod. It is still a kit in the sense you still need to source the additional parts, red button, glass eye, clamp and grips.
This is not intended to be transformed to a motorized version, the system inside is different and is meant as a display version. The wires stop at the switch, the double cores allows for the emiter rod to rotate when you touch it, the rod is much longer inside and attaches to a second core that mimics the weight distribution of the motorized version. It is however a bit lighter and will also be cheaper to ship.

contains: assembled saber with manually rotating emiter rod and wires with white connectors.

And finaly,
ANH stunt motorized saber kit (assembled): 199€

It is an assembled offering with a motorized spinning rod in the emiter and a battery pack (12V, 8xAA batteries not included). It is still a kit in the sense you still need to source the additional parts, red button, glass eye, clamp and grips.

contains: assembled saber with motorized spinning emiter rod, wires with white connectors connecting to wires with red connectors attached to the battery pack.
