Ok, this one is for the super nerds. Let's critique the accuracy of the Twistsaber Skins.
And remember, this is live on Kickstarter through Sept 2nd.

Dude, these are amazing! Imagine what you can do once you get ahold of some actual injection-molding stuff!!
Challenge he has is that these parts contain undercuts not easily allowing them to get out of a mould… they are perfect for printing… not so much for injection moulding (as far as I can tell from the ‘assembly video’. Not sure though. Would have to look up close.
"Those are speed holes, they make the Lightsaber go faster"
Only ones missing really is Palpatine's, Windu's, Kenobi's both versions, and Luke's ep6 lightsabers
I'd really like to see a design based on Rey's gold lightsaber from the end of TROS, since that's one of the only lightsabers that is canonically activated by twisting part of the handle (even if it wouldn't match the twist-saber motion 100%)
Probably not a very popular request, but I think Revan’s Sith lightsaber would look really cool as a twist saber.
KotOR Fans: "GIMME!"
Depending on the math behind the rotation, his Jedi lightsaber would be challenging for a Twistsaber.
The most important improvements on toy lightsabers ever. The extending and retracting. So freaking cool. I will be getting these. And hopefully helping with Kickstart. This is what every lid wants lol
Wow, thank you!
Where TF were these when I was a kid!? WOW dude you've really outdone yourself here. I'm so happy to see someone is still keeping the plastic sabers alive. It was my favorite toy growing up and I still have one of my original Phantom Menace OB1 green blade sabers. All the scratches and dings to accompany it. SOO many memories with that thing. So many adventures. I pray when I have kids, your product will have really thrived, and I can go and take them right into the toy aisle and create those memories with them. A shame you only find those garbage "character" inspired hilts in the stores these days. Great work man!
This needs to be shared more, how does nobody know about this?
Thanks! There is a live Kickstarter project right now that needs more support. The whole endeavor is only a month old at this point.
Love these buddy! Make some with glow in the dark filament blades and use a circular emitter mounted circular UV led array with narrow bundle lenses on top to excite the filament to glow… (like a tracer does for airsoft bbs)…
Thank you! Its taking way too long for smart people like you to invest in designing lightsaber tech. Anakin Skywalker ROTS hilt. Painting in metal chrome to match the movie prop. That's my dream❤. Heading to kickstarter now... 👍
i wonder if one day we could add lights to this desing of lightsaber (hell any electronics in general)
If you could get hold of those tapemeasure style retractable LEDs in the Disney lighttsaber & printed the blade in a material that diffused the light from them this could be epic
@Fenixisreal and @drakocarrion Check out @herotech and @ReelSaber
The Twistsaber is utterly killer. Honestly, I do wish you gave the treatment to Anakin's Attack of the Clones hilt (my favourite).
I second this!!! Always wanted this hilt!
I think the grip section of the mace windu hilt would lend itself nicely to a twistsaber. Radially symmetric much like the yoda or anakins.
It's funny you say that, because I have been playing around with mace windu. You're right, the grip section is fine. But the base gets narrow, and that is contradictory to the Twistsaber function. Working on it...
@@twistsaber is thinner blade diameter possible? For neopixels Mace hilts typically require a thinner blade than the standard 1" most use.
@@mtndewv In what i have worked on so far, the blade is the same diameter and that looks fine. If you started 3d printing these on your own, and scaled it to make the diameter smaller, I would worry about the pitch of the screws. It is already pretty steep, I am not confident the center screw could get smaller in the diameter only.
Cool!
A Cal Kestis saber would be cool to see!
Is it possible to make the curved-hilt lightsaber of Count Dooku?
It is difficult to manage the length because the blade can't collapse into the curve. I think the way to do is to have a curved bit at the bottom, and omit the curve a the very top. It's on my list, but not the top of the list
@@twistsaberthere are some old Count Dooku toys that still have the curve but it's a lot less and a lot lower on the hilt, but the blade doesn't fully collapse either so I'm not sure it would he possible without a really long hilt.
@@twistsaber would it be possible for the blade to sort of pivot into the hilt when it gets to the curve but lock in place when going up? There is this piece in a blade builders kit that I have that I'm sort of getting this from, it twists to be a 90 degree angle or a 180, I think its in the set that has the spinning inquisitor type piece if you want to look at it for refernece.
Idk if it's possible with the design, but I'm gonna be keeping an eye out for a curved hilt, I have a custom idea using that as a base.
Yes, belt clips on everything. Try to make it removable, I want to make a metal part, to put there, and make it functional.
Noted
Wow these are so cool! Awesome Work! 3D printers are amazing!
I really like this
One design I think would be really cool would be a Jedi temple guard for the dual bladed model
selling these/shipping these to the UK in your next kickstarter or in future generally would make you BIG bucks
im almost offended i cant get one lol
might be the single biggest star wars toy innovation since the "force action" (spring action) toy line
but even better since you got the models ACTUALLY accurate to the movies (barring the cut outs on qui-gon's due to the obvious space requirements for the mechanism)
i would also LOVE to see the obi-wan round cog-like pommeled lightsaber hilt (young obi-wan)
Thanks! Sorry for the US shipping on the Kickstarter. More to come in the future
Please make a kit Fisto one
I am so confused as to how this works...could you explain how it works? Amazing work by the way!
I will do build a cross-section version to demonstrate in the semi-near future. A screw that lifts screws to lift a screw.
There are also some assembly videos on the channel that are quite enlightening
Do you have a list of the filaments you use? That silver is amazing.
White, black, green, red, and purple are from Matter Hackers. Blue and gold were amazon finds, but I am looking for new supplier for blue and gold because they are a not as strong as the Matter Hackers
Awesome designs, but I wonder why the files are exported in such a low polygon count. Especially for the round parts it would be nice to have a higher resolution.
Could you please export the stl's with a higher poly count and update the download files
Yeah, already working on that. Everyone should get an update this week.
I don't know how to concisely tell you how amazing this is. I like the lego hilt most and I've pledged the respective amount on Kickstarter. I really like the obi wan ep 1&2 hilt, and the Shaak Ti/Barriss Offee hilt, and I'd buy them when available. If all goes well, will you move to other manufacturing methods, like the other non-lit plastic telescoping lightsabers from 2010?
Thanks! I like the Shaak Ti too. If all goes well, yes, there are other manufacturing methods and materials I plan to explore
For the Qui Gon saber, have you considered putting a reflective material in the cutouts to make them seem deeper?
No, I haven't tried modifying anything after printing yet. Do you have and example?
@@twistsaber I can’t find it at the moment, but I remember in the 80s or early 90s there was a competition between some of the big makeup artists (Stan Winston, Rick Baker and so on) about who could build the best zombie. I can’t remember who if was, but he won by creating a zombie with pieces of mirror incorporated into the costume, so it looked like the zombie had massive holes in his chest, which no actor could survive with. Now this would be easy to do with CGI, but back then it was impressive and made the zombie look undead and not like a guy in makeup.
Seeing this reminded me of that story. Since you can’t physically cut deeper without impinging on the blade, the mirror trick could make it look like the cuts go further.
very interesting
Do you think you could incorporate a space for the custom lightsaber cores people offer into this design so people can add sound?
Maybe, there is not a lot of free space. Sound would be awesome, but there is also and advantage to not needing batteries.
The saber design that you dont know the tv show is from the young jedi, an animated series for kids
Of the three main characters, Kai's is my favorite by far
Can you explain why the top isn’t gonna be rounded for the blade when I feel it totally could be?
Good question. When blade is in the collapsed position, there is screw that comes right to the inside corner. I could not round it without increasing the height of that one segment, and doing that, would have an negative impact on my collapsed to extended length ratio.
This is sick man
Should do revans lightsaber's cant go wrong with some old republic love, or mace windu
These look amazing and I will probably print one, however I was wondering how strong the blades were? Would you be able to duel with them?
Not strong enough to duel with. Great for concealing and showing off in cosplay situations!
I’m definitely going to make one!
These are awesome. I have to get one. How can I get one?
Check out the Kickstarter! Live through Sep 2nd
Why are comments turned off on your other videos? You need to supple way more info, on how you printed your designs. I can not get the carrier to print properly at all. The videos are nice, but not enough info on actually printing the objects. What filament type, temp, layer height, supports did you use?
@Koomoa Did you open the Read Me file? It is with the Assembly tools download. Send me an email for build support. The assembly videos are available in UA-cam's Kid Mode which disables the comments.
@@twistsaber Okay, I see that now. But you should put that file with the main file and every skin download. The add on tool file, is the last place I would expect to find important info.
Good point. I don't want to it to be an Easter egg hunt.
can you use the 300mm to make the twistsaber 1 designs?
I am not sure what you are asking
Is the LS1 or 2 closer to the size of the original props?
For the source that I was looking at, the original prop is 268mm long. The ls1 is 256.6mm long. The ls2 is 319.2mm long.
Does it lock in or will you accidentally twist it down when using it
There is not lock, but there is friction that prevents it from moving until you want it to.
I'm in serval lightsaber groups and I would love to show this off on all of my social media I'm sure I can get a bunch of people to invest in this project if you'd be willing to send me one I will show it off on all of my media including Facebook UA-cam tick tock Star wars fans would love to have one of these in their collection I will include a link to your GoFundMe page as well
