Clan Saber Craft 2: Shaak Ti - Barriss Offee

Next on the CSC system is the Shaak Ti / Barriss Offee hilts. Being part of this system means that the threading is compatible with the first project LINK

Main difference between the Shaak Ti and the Barriss is the emitter. In fact if you buy the Shaak Ti the Barriss is already incuded you just remove the emitter section. However if you want to display both side by side i think its better not to pay for the parts you don't need. More info on the development please read this THREAD

To design this hilt I used multiple images from the propstore and exhibitions. here are the main references

Here is my model compared to one of the castings of the real prop

One contribution to the saber community I am making is adding the dimples seen on the props. I noticed that all the actual props had 2 small dimples on the square recess near the pomel.

They are physically there even on the casted props

Even the Barris hilt has it

So it's a physical dimple (dip) on my model

The key features besides the compatibility of sections with the other CSC sabers are the following:

1. Aluminum and Brass parts. Overall length 252mm

2. 2 button setup. The buttons are also the beveled LEDs

3. All knobs and beveled LEDs have the same threading meaning you can swap them if you want.

4. Can fit a 28mm speaker

5. Basic chassis design available for download

6. 2Switch + 2pixel PCB available for purchase (for ease of install). This is the same PCB that will be available for the Fisto hilts

7. 10 pixel PCB will be available for purchase for the LED bar graph (Identical to the 5layer 0f c1ones)

8. Box is included. Artwork by Christian Cruz as always.

9. Installation options will be added later. As per my previous projects this will be done by Giovanny from Aldani Customs

10. Weathering option will be available

At the moment I have quoted 100 units in total, 75 Shaaks and 25 Barrisses; this can change based on the demand. However 100 minimum will be made to keep the cost low. Everything that is left over will be sold as components for the DIY crew.

Costs

Shaak Ti (Empty) $255

Barriss (Empty) $240
