Ving's (2nd) Lightsaber
« on: August 13, 2013, 02:00 PM »
The time has (almost) come.... I've lost several nights of sleep because of this thing, but it is done.. The lightsaber design that Ving will gradually switch to... is done. But alas, the rendering isn't even started. I have tons of ideas for thing I'm gonna do, for the fun of it and to show off the detail of the design. It is, after all, my very first complete lightsaber I've ever made, as opposed to just a shell.
I have a sort of 4 step plan for showing it to you guys, so I'm going to reserve the next 3 posts after this to keep it consistent.
-1. Teasers
-2. Renders
-3. Blueprints
-4. Dis-assembly guide
So there's still a lot of work ahead of me, but let's get to the teasing! >:D






There's tons more to come :P

EDIT: Aaaaand for the final "tease".......



I like to think that a certain feline's heart sinks with every image :P
But that's the SolidWorks Based "teases" out of the way, on to the renders...

First off, I'd like to point out that this saber was designed IC by Ving to improve just about everything in his old one.
Improvements are:
1. Stock emitter replaced with a heavier, sturdier, phobium-phrik alloy one to allow a more aggressive fighting style
2. 4 additional backup/unlimited-powah diatium cells have been added to extend the time between recharges and allow for a more powerful and volatile blade (he IS a madman, you know)
3. 2 additional focusing lenses have been added to allow for more control over the length and shape of the blade
4. Emitter shroud to protect the user's hands more effectively
5. Buttons/controls are moved around for a more ergonomic setup and to allow for the emitter shroud
6. Magnetic plate has been moved from a position integrated inside the hilt to a raised "platform" with an additional belt clip for backup
7. A thick heavy phobium plate near the bottom attached for additional hilt balance
8. A lot more supports and braces inside the hilt to avoid a repeat of REDACTED (future RP story :P )
9. Pommel cap removed to allow for FOR UNSPECIFIED REASONS
10. Some secret mod to give him an edge....














Aaaaand now that you've seen that, I'm sure you can guess what the secret mod is...




A m*********ing cortosis blade :P
It's the cortosis alloy. Anyone who matches me in geekiness will know that cortosis alloy can parry saber blades. Pure cortosis can short circuit saber blades through contact and is lethal to the touch. I'll get one of those too, I think... >:D

And I did say I'm gonna do a disassembly guide, and I will, but it won't be rendered, just screenshots, so here's some renders to give you an idea of the structure:










And an outdated cross section pic, just so you get an idea of how it comes together... kinda :P




Aaaaaaaaaaaah, engineering. Anyways, what do you guys think? :)

(PS: I'd like to see you try to beat this, KittyCat and Wellkey :P )

And the blueprints are done. I have.... 3 versions you can see. The small picture you can see below, a slightly larger picture with the first link, and the original size picture with the third link. That's a proper download, the file size was huge for an image (16Mb). Only download that one if you really want to see it - it lets you see every part individually with decent enough quality, all proportional and such. All.... 54 separate models, I think it was.



http://oi42.tinypic.com/25p7ehu.jpg <<< Slightly larger image. It's clearer and some more details are visible but it's still meh.

http://www.filedropper.com/blueprint <<< Full size image download. It's the grey button that downloads it. There really was no other way to upload it, sorry :(


All that's left is the disassembly guide! :D

I bet your next step would be taking it to real life, and make this :P. This is as perfect as you can get with 3d modeling!

I'm crazy, but not that crazy Master Scalarik. :P Though with one of those 3D printer things......
....now that's an idea >:D

But in all seriousness, thanks for all your kind words and feedback, I appreciate it (It gives me the warm fuzzy feeling inside :3 )
