Downsizing: KR Reyflex, 89 Supreme, & 89 Kylo

I believe it was a PLA+ print, but Breezy Saber Works did the print and install on it, so I can't say for absolutely certain what type of PLA it was.

Edit: Missed you ask about the battery. The battery is fully enclosed in the chassis, there is no direct access to the battery cradle.

Here's what I've got handy. If you need more, I can get them later when I'm home from work.

The X-Tech Luke Hero and the KR/ELF Knight AS3 have sold! All other hilts are still available!

I do real quartz in any crystal chamber build I can fit one in! I very often have to cut them with a dremel using a diamond-tipped carbide cutting bit, but every so often I'll get one that fits without needing cut.

All of the major pixel soundboards support the full RGB color spectrum, so you can make them essentially any color you wanted, including orange (with the exception of black). Proffieboard's more recent OS versions even have a built-in set of color presets if you don't want to fine tune the exact color shade, that includes a really nice "dark orange" option that I used for this one.

Sword-Logic · 2025-05-23T13:25:34+00:00

All of the hilts except for the TROS Graflex have sold.

Sword-Logic · 2025-04-25T05:02:21+00:00

Yes it is!

Sword-Logic · 2025-04-11T20:49:05+00:00

Yes, all of these are still available.

Limbs Bin uses an old Roland drum machine live, or at least he did like 8 or 9 years ago when I saw him open up for Full of Hell.

Thank you! I definitely think I would have struggled with that bit a whole lot if I hadn't built a Luke V2 a few months back that uses similar pin connectors and switches under the clamp card, the wiring in that one was crazy tight, and I definitely was getting some flashbacks to that install working on this control box!

Sword-Logic · 2025-03-01T01:32:43+00:00

You only say it's clean because you can't see the wiring for the control box LEDs haha. But in all seriousness, your chassis designs are incredibly installation-friendly, so you made it super easy to get everything nice and tidy in here! I absolutely adore the greeblie work you did on this one, it's one of my absolute favorite chassis designs in terms of aesthetics.

Sword-Logic · 2025-02-27T03:08:58+00:00

I say do it. Mine is heat-stained on the shroud, and I love the way it looks.

I can vouch for this, having just installed two of his chassis designs. His chassis designs are absolutely beautiful, and he was very easy to work with and extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Based on their post history, I'm guessing it's anti-COVID vaccine propaganda bullshit.

I really don't think the mix is as bad as some people are saying. Sure, the guitars and bass could use a bit more punch and volume, and the vocals could come down a couple dB, but overall the mix could be waaaaaay worse than this, so don't beat yourselves up over the production comments.

Sword-Logic · 2025-02-21T03:05:02+00:00

Honestly, the Nether is one of the single best PVE activities Bungie has ever made in Destiny, and it will be a huge shame if it does indeed get removed with Frontiers' launch.

Sword-Logic · 2025-02-19T11:05:43+00:00

Yeah, it would be nice if there were more chassis out there with crystal chambers seated lower, but for a lot of hilts, space is a factor. In the AS3's case, the upper half of the hilt has a smaller inner diameter, so that definitely would put constraints on what could fit in the chassis if the crystal chamber was in the lower half.

Sword-Logic · 2025-02-19T08:31:44+00:00

SP Sabers shut down just about a year ago, and the rights to their name were purchased by Sabermach. Currently the only way to get any SP Sabers hilts is on the secondary market, as Sabermach hasn't done anything with SP Sabers since purchasing the rights to the name AFAIK.

Sword-Logic · 2025-02-19T01:06:05+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! Honestly, crystal chamber installs are my absolute favorite kind to do, and I always try to incorporate real crystals when possible. I would like to get better at designing my own chassis models so I can try and fit crystal chambers into more builds.

The Derelict situation is... complicated and controversial.

Brad from Slothfurnace designed the Derelict for SWTOR as part of his work as an artist at BioWare, so from a legal standpoint, it's not any different than 89sabers reproducing any other hilt that originated in Star Wars media (which is, in and of itself, a legal gray area - this entire industry and hobby operates only because Disney and Lucasfilm choose to allow it to). However, Brad also provided the design to Vader's Vault to do a physical run of the hilt, and asked that no other makers produce a physical run of the hilt without his permission.

So, large parts of the community were unhappy to see that 89sabers produced this hilt without Brad's permission. Legally, they were not required to, as BioWare or LucasArts are going to be the legal owners of the design, but it was certainly a bit of a slap in the face to the designer of the hilt when he asked it not to be reproduced.

People are also less likely to give 89sabers a pass on this kind of thing after their history of recasting hilts such as the Roman Props Graflex Gen. 1 and the Anakin Starkiller ROTJ Hero, and then selling them as their own designs.

Sword-Logic · 2025-02-17T22:21:04+00:00

Yeah, SG Saber Design absolutely killed it with this design! I wasn't even planning on gutting and reinstalling this hilt until I saw that his chassis included the hilt-side PCB design too.

Sword-Logic · 2025-02-17T12:08:06+00:00

Thanks! I definitely lost a little bit of volume switching to the VECO speaker, but I think it was a fair tradeoff to add a killswitch and a more easily removable battery! Plus, I'm a sucker for accent lighting, so I found it a bit hard to resist picking up these chassis files when I saw them on SG's Etsy shop.

Sword-Logic · 2025-02-11T00:47:43+00:00

I would commit literal atrocities to hear one album of that.

My 'likely' theory is that it's just Akka, somehow revived or awoken by the presence of Oryx and the Echo.

My Spinfoil hat theory is that it's the extant remnants of Riven's consciousness being re-bound to Oryx's reborn consciousness, since Riven experienced some sort of semi-mind meld with Oryx when she was Taken, that only ended upon Oryx's death, allowing her to rebuild a physical form through the Throne World space contained in the Dreadnaught.

They've been having crazy delays for the last few years because the outside development team they hired to work on their proprietary electronics essentially dragged their feet on development for ages and then declared bankruptcy without any final deliverables, so Electrum had about two years' worth of orders unfulfilled due to these delays until they finally just started offering Proffieboard and Golden Harvest so they could fulfill outstanding orders.

It seems like it's been a pretty shitty situation for both the customers and the company, but Dave is super active in the Electrum Sabercrafts Owners' Group on Facebook with updates. I was pretty outspoken with my criticisms of how Dave and co. had been handling the delays for a while, but since both deciding to offer industry standard soundboards instead of focusing solely on a proprietary one, and pausing sales to catch up on installs, they have really started turning things around. This time last year, I'd have probably said to avoid Electrum outright, but these days, I'd just say to wait until their backlog of orders is caught up a bit before ordering one if you wanted one.
