So, I've agonized over the builder for many days while my wife put up with me. I think I've finally figured out a few designs that I'm happy with.
I've always wanted a graflex lightsaber, but I don't enjoy how impractical the original design is for actual use. I've also always had my eye on the Starkiller style lightsaber, but I could never pull the trigger on the crystal chamber monarch because it wasn't warrantied for dueling. This is a design that I think puts all of that together. Once ASP launches I might buy a second switch part and cut out a small window for a crystal and LED to sit under the switch if there is room. Or I'll just hope they eventually launch crystal chamber parts.
My second design is based on one of my favorite SF designs, the Epoch. I'll probably try to add some graflex bunny ears to it to help it blend well with the first saber. Maybe even get some graflex buttons to use as the retention screws.
I'd like to use these both for duel wielding as well as making a staff.
Lastly, I've always wanted a short sword / dagger style saber. So I tried to come up with a design that is compact. I might even get an extra blade and cut it down even shorter than what's offered. Also, thinking about adding graflex bunny ears to this one or maybe the ear found on yoda's saber.
I'm a bit worried about the champion electronics kit fitting in this one. I'm hoping that the offerings in the builder prevent such situations.
Thanks for reading and let me know what you think! I'm enjoying looking at everyone else's designs.
