Hey saber friends; Temperance update

So I am a day late and a dollar short on my goal to finish all the weathered Temperance hilts….by one 😭

I have ONE more hilt that is fully paid up for the preorder to finish tomorrow (although ‘technicallyyyyyy’ it was an order that snuck in AFTER the preorder was closed soooo) 😅

Anyways what that means is that the rest of the hilts will be put up for sale on Monday!
(Monday at 9AM MST to be specific)

If you have been waiting to grab one, this will be a great time to do so!

I also have some good news regarding the remaining hilts; even if you can’t get one now, please don’t fret, as I have talked with Joey about the possibility of doing another run if the interest is there 🎉

I just don’t want to lie to folks and say ‘this is your LAST chance to get the hilt’ since the possibility will be there in the future 🙃

Thank you everyone who has waited patiently for your preorders, and for all the positive feedback that Joey’s beautiful design has received 🙏

Friendly PSA on micro SD card prices

Hopefully everyone is aware how expensive all storage related products are right now, so I apologize in advance for the crazy prices for quality micro SD cards

The goal is to continue stocking authentic versions and not just the cheap knock offs, but it does come at a cost 😅

I will continue to price hunt for good deals but it’s a rough situation across the board for everyone right now, I’m sure those who build their own PC’s can understand 😂

A few new blade plugs have been added; these are mostly replacements for some of the 89Sabers replica hilts but they can make a nice addition to any saber:

Payment has been made on new Geonobi production; retail pricing will be $150 per hilt(includes collector's box from previous version)
Production expected to take 6-8 weeks.
(No preorders needed for these, they will be listed up for sale once the run is completed, sabers are received, and updated chassis design(s) are done)

Hey saber friends, hope you're all having a nice weekend, and here's a few worthwhile updates to the storefront:

-I am still working on the weathered Temperance hilts (sorry it's not going faster) but rest assured I am planning on finishing those by the end of this week

-New 7/8" blade parts are in production and I hope to have those done within 4-6 weeks; sorry for those who have been waiting on 7/8" blade restocks

-an updated version of the Geonobi is being quoted, with main changes being the red buttons becoming static actuators to incorporate fully removable and easier to install chassis builds

Those are the most notable things going on this week; you can also find these updates on the news/blog section of the website:

EDIT: Also! I have had some customers report an issue with their VIPTIER discounts not working. Please reach out to me if you have not been seeing your discount at checkout, as there was recently an issue within the website app I use for those specific discount codes

Ok settle the debate, what’s the better option; weathered or clean?

Hi guys I am back in town, thanks for all your orders and emails/messages over the week. Apologies if they went unanswered; I intentionally tried to ignore most of them just to focus on my off time with family and friends :)

Getting back in the office with some new items, starting with the Master Chassis for the Machina:

(beware; not for the faint of heart!)

Also added some super narrow accent LED strips (needed for the Machina master chassis), but you can use them for other designs:

21700 high amp unprotected button top batteries for those installed 89Sabers sabers such as their Kylo:

I'll work on more updates throughout the next week or two as I catch up on orders and get the weathered Temperance hilts wrapped up for all you patient customers :)

The remaining standard/unweathered Temperance hilts have been checked, processed and are ready to ship out today

Thank you all for your patience 🙏

The remaining batch of weathered hilts will be on the schedule for completion the first and second weeks of June

For those interested in picking up a hilt after the remaining stock is listed, there are about 30 hilts unclaimed from the preorder 👀

If you have questions about the hilt assembly please make sure to check out the overview video on YouTube, and if you still need help feel free to reach out 🙂

For those expecting their Temperance hilts soon, here is your hilt breakdown/overview video!

(By the way I suck/hate making videos!)

It’s how you use it

For the super basic people (like me), here is the basic chassis design option for the Temperance

History books will define this design simply as ‘over the top’ and ‘too many details’ 😂

But no really this is just the bare minimum design to include all the required electronics, however you still have accent LED’s for aux translucent switch and a nice long 30 pixel accent LED channel for the main grip section

I will say that the mini accent LED channel is very satisfying to use 👍

The hilt design also accommodates a fully enclosed 28mm speaker and requires a speaker pod setup
