TGJ Interchangeable Sabre System
Description
Been puling together all my previous sabres and tweaking them so that parts are interchangeable and hopefully easy to fit together. These designs are based on the use of a standard 28mm OD (26mm ID) metal curtain pole cut to length around 230mm. This will provide a solid core for the 3d printed parts. So far I have around 7 different styles: No.1 - Padawan No.2 - Fell No.3 - Shoto No.4 - O'Katana No.5 - Bane No.6 - Flamberge No.7 - Rebel All these parts should be interchangeable with the emitters, pommels and shrouds all having the same dimensionality to allow a push fit, glue fit or screw fit (depending on your preference). The hand grips, for all but the Bane (No.5), are either No.1 Wrapped Grip or No.1 Smooth Grip. This will provide either a pre wrapped finish of something smooth that will allow for a custom leather skin or para-cord wrap. Also attached is a simple 18650 battery housing with a magnetised connection to the electronics housing (not sure if the magnets are a great idea but giving it a try). The electronics housing is recessed for both a Verso board and a Proffie board as these are the two I've used in the past. The blade plug is based on the Shtok Custom Worx pcb connectors from The Saber Armory (KR Sabers). Switches are either 16mm vandal-proof momentary or 12mm led lock-on. (I havent worked out a way to do interchangeable switches yet, but I will in the next iteration in maybe 5 years time or so...) As always this is a WIP, and I haven't printed out all the parts as yet. I will try and Add updates to this Thing as and when I can, and/or if there is anything that needs overhauling or amending please let me know.
