I'm planning to build a custom saber for myself, with the help of Ultra Sabers and TCSS. But I need help on the design, since my mind is blown away at the creations I saw on TCSS. Someone told me on thinking of a theme base on my personality, but still can't think of one. My personification would be, defensive yet subtly emotional. Dangerously hanging between a Jedi and Sith. Thanks to those who can help!  |

Thanks to those who can help! I suggest using TCSS's saberbuilder and playing with that yourself a bit. Asking someone to design a saber for you is fine, but if it's your own personal thing, it's a good idea for you to do it. If nothing else, draw a picture and one of us can formulate something with a render of some kind. |

Thank you Caine! I was doodling at the builder from some ideas the TCSS members gave.   I liked both of the sabers with grips, I just can't make up my mind which one would it be!  |

Possibly some thing with a slanted emmiter. And a rubber grip. But its really up to you to decide.

I'd say if you want grips, the one on the bottom is best. If not, then I like the one on the top. Just an X-Wing jock's two cents.  |

I like the 3rd one with the slanted emitter, if you don't mind X-Wing jock #2's two cents.  |

Thanks, and I do mind! Because I'm also asking Ultra's advice on the matter, which I'm still in the process of knowing his. Here's an update to what I was about.    |

X-Wing Jock #1 says the middle saber of the second set is most righteous. |

I felt the force guide my hand on this one. @Ultra: Thank you! @Everyone: These are the sabers you guys nominated. So now I got an idea from these two, I'll give my verdict later as which of these two will be my saber. Wish me luck, I not good at deciding though!

Regarding switch placement, you cannot place a switch in the thread part of the hilt. Some of your renders have the switch smack dab on the threaded parts.

With the fourth one you could take out the windowed double male extension crystal chamber part replacing it with a single 3" double female extension [possibly the fluted one to match the rear grip] and get Strydur @ TCSS to custom machine windows in the choke for the crystal chamber...that would avoid the thread problems Caine identified.
