I wanted to have a bit of fun, so I challenged myself to see what I could build out of an afternoon of scavenging through parts at a local surplus store. I ended up with a lot of interesting bits, and after seeing what parts fit together I made myself a scrapyard lightsaber. Tucked one of the newer smooth-swing LGT Saber Studios boards inside for the lights and sound effects. I really like the beat-up look of what I ended up with, and because it's all metal it has a really satisfying heft to it. It wasn't until I was done building it that someone pointed out that the color palette was basically Boba Fett... wasn't intentional, but it's a welcome comparison.
Awesome design and great crafting skills! I read through your write-up as well. Great stuff, thanks for sharing!
What size/type of threads are LGT lightsabers using? I've been wanting to make some custom lightsaber parts, but i can't seem to find out the type or size. Anyone know?
Very nice mate! What sort of scrap part were they?
Where did you get that red anodized switch/port cover plate? Looks like it was specifically designed for a lightsaber. Let me know. Thanks!!
The cover plate was something I modeled up and 3D printed. You can grab the model for free here if you have access to a printer!

The 'red anodized' look is because I made a mold and cold-cast the printed part in aluminum, then sprayed it Dupli-Color Metalcast Red. You can read more about the process here:

@@FusedCreations - Thanks so much for the info! The gang over at the Vire Sabers Community on FaceBook were really impressed with your build and were wondering about that switch plate. Come check out the group. It's a great place for saber enthusiast to share info and hang out! Thanks again!
