Some fancy chassis I have been working on

orntar · March 13, 2025, 1:14am

I have been designing these in fusion. The first 2 are for the KR Skoll, and last 3 are for the KR Kestis. The latter has a removable speaker pod that can be swapped out for Jedi survivor or the fallen order destroyed hilt.

I hope to get them printed in nylon, brass and aluminum, probably with craft cloud.

So cool!

I wish I had half your design skills. They don’t look great! They look super great. Sorry, I am now drooling all over your design.

Can you share them, can you share them, can you you share them.

Yes I know, I am a 51 year old kid.

Edit: … in a candy store!

Edit2: sorry, I forgot to say: Please, please, please, pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaase!

Edit3: I really, really, really want one !

I am still working on tolerances, etc., but I can share them when done!

Do you own either of these hilts? They aren’t universal.

Hi @orntar,

I do not want to “hijack” your build thread with mine. I just think your design is fantastic. If you want to check my newbie crazy build:

My Crasy build Build threads

I own no hilt, I bought a chassis back in June for my first Proffie built/first attempt at a saber/first anything prop for Star Wars (other than a few T-shirts & my DVD/BLUE-RAY collection), but I damaged it, then broke it to extract My Precious Proffie board and most of the electronics. Now I am working on some monster (with plenty of wire space) 3D printed chassis loosely inspired from Goth3D designs and any free stl’s I can find to hold “My Precious” (I know, I am repeating myself, but so far I only got one). Once done it will be a cross-guard with a Tsuba that has greeblies inside of greeblies, probably at least half a meter long (the chassis, not the tsuba) and a mighty dangerously looking pommel, that will never fit in any “real” looking metal hilt (which I still would like to come up with a design for it - but don’t hold your breath, it will be a very long while). Attached are two photos (from a few weeks back) from (now) mostly discarded, first iterations or just plain badly 3D printed parts I come up with (I started my 3D printing adventure in December) that will be the base for my saber. [IMG_0002] [IMG_0001] It will mostly be dark red (my favorite color). No I am not building an Iron Man prop (my sons like to tease me with that). I think now, I have all the designs in mind, except one section: the part that will hold the main electronis: My Precious (Proffie board) Oled BlueTooth USB-C charging board & the reverse polarity protection board I am looking for designs inspiration for the “internal” pressure-fit that can hold all those boards. The external is inspired from a “grenade” thin neck with at least two doors for easy access for soldering/de-soldeing/re-soldering (front and or back) [Grenade1] [Grenade2] I am just a bit stuck on how to match my vision of what the inside should be for fitting the outside. And I need to allow for the three metal rods (3mm each) to hold it all together and not interfere. I know it is all PLA (and 3 metal rods - not threaded - and some superglue). It will only be for “air fighting” and very mild spinning (plus my blade tube is acrylic - so no contact allowed). I am looking for ways to link my outside of the electronic chamber to how the inside should be.

Sorry, I was not expecting for my whole post to appear here, I just wanted to post the link.

These are pretty exceptionally incredible. There’s lots of great chassis designs out there but these can easily compete with some of the best!

Great work and thanks for sharing!

Edgar · March 13, 2025, 11:57pm

really nice , i would love a chassis like this for my mpp and for the one i am building now .
how much would cost to design similar type for my 89saber MPP ?

orntar · March 21, 2025, 7:53pm

I happen to have an 89sabers MPP, so I can look into it. But I have never sold the files before.

Edgar · March 21, 2025, 8:30pm

thats great ! I would like to see how it looks !

orntar · May 31, 2026, 11:09pm

I have some more designs ready.

This is Little Green Friend from Korbanth. I had to order a 3/4 in blade for it. Its very small, but I got a 24mm bass speaker in it.

This is an 89sabers Sidious. This is pretty small too, but features an 18650 and a 22mm so elite speaker.

This for an Elf Sabers Malgus, this one has a lit plasma chamber and brass plate.

This is for an Elf Sabers Maul/Ventress staff. The maul has some brass plates. The ventress has a lit plasma chamber, lit crystal chamber and 3 brass plates.

Maul

Ventress

I hope to actually get these printed in nylon and brass, lol

DarthRaptor22 · June 1, 2026, 1:40pm

Yes you should absolutely sell and share these! They’re gorgeous!

LyleStyle · June 1, 2026, 11:55pm

Each one better than the last. Very cool.

DarthRaptor22 · September 5, 2026, 1:11am

Do you still have the files for that Little Green Friend perchance? I would like to buy them from you!

orntar · September 7, 2026, 1:06am

I have it printed in nylon but not installed yet. I hope to have a big update soon, if I can find the time!

Pm me about the chassis files.

Afrojedi · September 7, 2026, 1:22am

do you have any chassis that would fit 1" ID sabers?

orntar · September 7, 2026, 1:56pm

Yea, a lot of them are right at that diameter. They have always been designed for the saber. What are you looking for?

Afrojedi · September 8, 2026, 4:27am

something that has greeblies and brass parts much like your render. you did and a crystal chamber the saber I have has a 12mm switch hole with a 3mm space for the switchcraft 2mm recharge port.
