Graflex chassis and blade holder for Xenopixel core

thingiverse

I've had a Graflex lightsaber empty hilt that I made around 20 years ago, unfortunately I don't remember where I got the replica Graflex from, I seem to remember it being pretty accurate scale wise, but can't make any guarantees. I recently purchased a couple of Xenopixel sabers and decided a Xenopixel core would be a good and budget friendly option to put inside my empty hilt. I also didn't want to purchase a blade holder so needed that to be incorporated into the chassis as well. The chassis is split in two so that the top piece can stay in place, which would involve removing the bunny ears. The pieces are the secured together by using the screw above the button on the under side of the lightsaber, with it also serving to hold the blade in place. The bottom button also helps to hold the chassis in place. From my testing I've found the chassis to be strong enough to swing the blade around, I don't know how it would hold up to duelling. Inspired by the Saber Core Adapter for "TGS" Blade Holder by superpunkduck, while not a direct remix, the model, photos and guide helped me greatly in creating my chassis.
