Tank's Lightsaber

Description

This is =M1A2Tanker's lightsaber for his OC.

Rendered in UGS NX 4.0 3D CAD/CAM software. For reference, the Saber as shown is 13" in length. Download the full picture to see it full-size as it appears on my screen in NX 4.0.

It's very closely based off of the designs of ANH Obi Wan's lightsaber and ROTJ Luke's lightsaber, but is slightly different; notice it lacks an activator box, having a recessed button instead. In fact, this design is way more efficient considering the activator box would make the saber difficult to use, it's hard to wrap your fingers around it.

A draft is coming up. It doesn't look too hard to machine but the radii and chamfering would probably require a lot of hand-finishing. I'll also see if I can make allowances for electronics or at the very least something that would allow for a blade. The finished model, if one was made would require the pieces be joined together, presumably by a screw thread, so I'll probably add that in for the drafts.

The emitter has been specified as T-304 Stainless Steel, the sub-emitter as C464 Naval Brass, and the rough grip and end cap is 6061-T6 Aluminium. The rough grip will need to be powder-coated.

All in all I had fun making this, I'll probably do some more soon.



Update October 27, 2010!
*RisiaVyle has done his own version of this design! You can take a look at his version right here, big thanks!

Who the hell is Tank?
This is just Obi-Wan's lightsaber, just the neck has the same colour as Luke's.
