From where did you get your 3d printed piece?
Looks good - if you’d just busted out the final pic first no one would’ve been able to guess what it started as. That’s awesome. Well done.

That is an amazing custom saber you have there. Gives me ideas to customize my Aeon V2.

The 3D printed stuff came from Sedsti Skyfaller designs. The grip shroud he did custom for me off of a design I put together. He has some awesome other parts for sale |

can someone walk me through the process of using a dremel to do engraving or etching. I am going to etch the Sith logo at the activation switch.

If using a Dremel, you need to be VERY careful.
I would draw the design out onto the hilt in marker.
As far as bits go, you'll likely want the smallest engraving bit you have
Take it slow, and very carefully as the engraving process is hardest to fix mistakes with

Thanks! Luckily the design is simple. Does it need sanding afterwards to soften edges? |

Purely up to you. Mine didn't, but I don't mind a rougher look sometimes |

I finally picked up the Dremel and gave it a go! Here is my FINISHED saber!  Using the ignition switch as inspiration and the central circles of the design, I carved the Sith Order logo's "wings" on each side of the switch using a Dremel tool and a fine bit. This was my first work with a Dremel..on anything....and I ended up with a rough design which I think works nicely. Almost as if the Apprentice scratched it in himself.  Close-up of the "wing" design  My training is now complete... Here is a link to the full album from beginning to end: https://flic.kr/s/aHskBeJvMXThis was a fun first project and I surely have caught the "bug" and am looking forward to the next project. I've already made some decisions to go ahead with a Jedi-inspired build...For balance...of course! Thanks for all the fun and inspiration here on the boards as well as the encouragement! MTFBWY |

Great work, mrg. I've been following your work since you began and the dremel work is a nice touch on the saber. It's a completely different saber now, one fit for you. Point incoming.
