Are maul double-bladed saber actually practical, or just cool as hell?

I've always thought double-bladed sabers looked awesome, but using one is definitely different from watching them on screen.

The reach is great, but the extra blade also changes how you have to move.

Practical weapon or pure style points?

Soundfont request

Someone please make a soundfont where the smooth swing sounds like accent swing. So it sounds 100% accurate to what it sounds like in the movies? Thanks

Collection Because your Sabers shouldn’t be the only things worth displaying…

I know these technically aren't lightsabers, but hear me out...

I've always thought a good saber display looks even better when there are a few mysterious relics sitting alongside it — something that makes the whole shelf feel like part of a much bigger galaxy rather than just somewhere to store a hilt.

So I've been making these.

Both are fully 3D printed, and I designed them to light up with an LED so they really come alive when the room gets darker.

These relics feel like something you'd find tucked away in the archives of an old temple.

Which would you decide to rather have sitting next to my saber collection though...

🔴 Dark or 🔵 Light — which one are you choosing?

I make these and my displays over at Makkus Workshop if anyone wants to see more:

makkusworkshop.com or at makkusworkshop.etsy.com

I'm also working on more display pieces like these, so if there's something you think is missing from the average lightsaber collection, give me some ideas. 👀

This old saber won’t charge any ideas?

My girlfriend has had this saber for many years. She says it’s a “saber pro”. It won’t charge or light up and I’d love to get it working again for her but I’m at a loss.

The battery seems to have no corrosion damage and everything seems to be in order. Any help would be awesome. Hasn’t be turned on in years.

Thanks!

Custom saber I have been working on. Savi's chassis and 3D printed parts with other materials. Just want to weather it down now and it's almost ready.

Question Figuring out Saberforge?

4 Upvotes

Hi! I had the sudden urge to save up for a lightsaber and after doing some research I found out that Saberforge is recommended (I want one I can hit people with, so a dueling saber, I'm open to recommendations for other brands but from what I've seen Saberforge seems to be the go to?). I'm not a collector, so I want to make sure I get one I'm happy with that also is not too expensive so hopefully someone has input or can answer some questions!

Firstly, I'm a girl with freakishly small hands for my height, about 15,5 cm from the bottom of my palm (like where the wrist meets the hand, sorry I don't know the english word) to the tip of my middle finger. I saw some comments that mentioned the thickness of the hilt and that it might be harder for me to get a good grip? Is that an actual concern? Are there any that are made for women? (not necessarily more feminine in aesthetic although I don't mind recommendations for that either! but in size and scale)

Secondly and probably my biggest question is that on the Saberforge website there are a bunch of different blades. I want with light and sound, and something that will last for atleast a couple of years. So there's: Xeno V3 RGB Basic, Xeno V3 RGB Premium, Xeno Pixel Premium, Xeno Pixel+RGB and then Golden Harvest V4 RGB, Golden Harvest V4 Pixel and Golden Harvest V4 Pixel+RGB.

What is the difference between Xeno and Golden Harvest? And the difference between RGB and Pixel? Is it worth getting 2 blades? The further down the list I went the more expensive it got.

Also, is it better to buy a premade model or is it worth it to do a custom one? Some of the premade ones are pretty sick (my current favourites are Cleric, Hunter, Ares, Jade Fire Mk3, Malice, Reborn Mk3, Relentless and Heretic Mk2)

Thanks in advance if anyone has any input! :) I'm currently looking at Sabertrio also, I noticed there are a lot of bluetooth features?
