Qui Gon Jinn 'Force Ghost'

Designed by Shadowfoil Props and manufactured and distributed by Saberbay. 

The Force Ghost is the slimmest and most ergonomical deep groove Qui Gon on the market, with an outer diameter of just over 30.5mm, with a length of 11.25".

Black anodized main body, with a satin blasted aluminum finish on the shroud and emitter(accurate to the onscreen prop). 

Includes a static and FX emitter, custom acrylic blade plug with shine through, and collectors box. 

Hilt design requires a 1" blade for the emitter, with room for up to a 28mm speaker in the pommel. 
Features a single button activation using the red anodized switch actuator.

This includes a non installed version which is an empty hilt and does not include any other parts or electronics. 
Install options include CFX, Proffie and GHV3
Chassis design from Jimmy’s Saber Junk
Removable battery: 18650 KeepPower 3000mah 15A protected button top cell
Single button activation 
NPXL V3 Shortpin hilt side Neopixel connector
28mm X-BASS 8ohm/3W bass speaker 
High amp killswitch 
Detachable speaker pod 

Board access by removing outer grip shroud and sliding board chassis down and out through the side as shown in pictures.

 

These battery contacts are specifically used for the Force Ghost chassis design and also some other chassis designs from Shadowfoil Props

These are gold plated and can be used for 18650 button top batteries. Includes one of each contact per listing sale.

 

This is the PCB set required for the Force Ghost Qui Gon Jinn saber chassis. 
Each set includes a rounded PCB which is used in the battery holder part, and a squared PCB which is soldered to the five spring loaded pins.
Each pin is rated for up to 11A. 
The PCB layout has descriptive indicators of which wires go to each pad.
BAT+ is for the battery positive wire, and the NPXL connector positive wire.
SWTH is for one of the switch wires from the single button.
NPX- is for the NPXL connector negative wires.
DATA is for the NPXL connector data line wire.
BAT- is for the battery negative wire.

To solder your pins to the square PCB, pre-tin the longer pads and align the pin so it will lay flat, and use your soldering iron to heat up the pin from the top, while holding it over the corresponding pad. This should melt the solder on the pad and join the pin to the pre-tinned pad.

This is the chassis design for the Saberbay/Shadowfoil Props Force Ghost hilt, based on Qui Gon Jinn’s lightsaber. This design is not intended or made to fit for any other hilts.

Please read all instructions for this chassis install. If you do not wish to install yourself, I recommend finding an installer to do this for you, as this may be a difficult build for some depending on your skill level.

3D printed in PLA+ filament. Printed in 5 different pieces. 
This listing includes all 5 chassis parts, one tactile switch, one set of battery contacts, and the chassis PCB set(unassembled), required for this build. 
This chassis can separate into three different sections.

The upper part can be removed from the emitter and taken out to access the removable battery. It is aligned with the red switch actuator and must be inserted from the top of the emitter. This part will hold itself in place while you screw back on the emitter to the main body.

The middle piece which holds the soundboard, inserts from the open side of the grip section of the hilt, the shroud must be removed or rotated to the side to insert this piece. This chassis piece slides into the emitter space above the grip section, and connects to the emitter chassis piece, via the chassis PCB set. You must use the retention screw to tighten both chassis parts to secure properly into place. This also prevents the emitter chassis piece from moving upwards.

When soldering your wires to your board, you may need to use the top side of the board due to limited install space, please make sure to practice proper wire management to avoid unnecessary shorts or bridges. It is also recommending you insulate the pins of the chassis PCB set to avoid making any contact with the inside of the hilt. Failure to do so may result in a short and damage your components.

The third chassis part holds the killswitch(optional), and pins for the SCW Type 1 Speaker PCB set. This piece is inserted from the pommel end. You can leave some extra length for your wires and tuck them inside the extra space in the hilt.

The fourth part is for the 28mm bass speaker, and other speaker PCB piece.

The fifth part is a spacer ring which press fits into the bottom of the pommel. This prevents the speaker from making contact with the pommel.
