    Just seeing this now, crazy that they make a clear version of that staff! I imagine your blade is pretty wobbly without a stabilizer, but still very cool!

    • @ColeFailing
      @ColeFailing  4 місяці тому +1

      Thanks man! The one in this vid is wobbly for sure. I made another with Anakin’s hilt where the blade is set lower and passes through a narrower shutter at the top which worked out better. Huge respect for you pioneering the idea for this mechanism!

    I have an old 2006 spring loaded Darth Vader Lightsaber that I've thought of upgrading. Yeah the blade pokes out a bit though but I think that it's the closest that I'm going to get. maybe some better electronics or something, I haven't gotten that far ahead.

    if you were to make a saber with the Disney style tape measure system what type of plastic would you use for the blade to achieve the concave yet spooling affect

    • @ColeFailing
      @ColeFailing  Рік тому +1

      I’m sure Disney has their plastic custom made specifically for that, so you’d need to find a real-world equivalent. The blade plastic I used came from extendable staff coils originally, so one option is to go directly to their manufacturers and see if you can order some of the raw, uncut plastic. I don’t have a specific line on anything, but it’s all a work in progress!
