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.

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:
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.

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)

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!

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