I started off doing some weathering with some sandpaper. Still determining if this is enough or should it go further



Just received my 3D printed Emitter Shroud  Grin I still have to do some weathering on it and attach it with some new thumb screws....



Looking good so far!

Looks good for far. I agree with Illyiss, modding is very addictive.

I have only one of these obstacles to contend with!  What I'd love to do sometime, is work on some for others!

well…at least I don't have a problem … Roll Eyes

My next steps are a new pommel, weathering further (dry brushed) and ultimately a shroud for the grip as well. I'd love some ideas on that last part.

as for designing for others: I belong to a SW RP group in the Second Life community and I "build" custom sabers and sell them…much more cost effective than this real life stuff Smiley

Subtle, but that emitter shroud adds a lot.
Might want to consider a new pommel for it

I did read that and saw some of the youtubey stuff. I just wonder about the thickness of the PVC on the hilt. I may go the 3D print route again. The bottom of the Dominix is only about 5 & 7/8" so it's not much to work with design-wise. Also, since the Dominix hilt is thinner than others, trying to find an appropriate cardboard tube to use for a template is challenging.
