It varied greatly. Some were only 1-2 inches, some were quite a bit longer. I am somewhat limited by the height of my pressure pot, but can make it protrude more upon request.

It varies because I’m not super precise about positioning, but I’ve been using Min: 250mm, Max: 300mm threaded rods, so they go well into the grip almost to the pommel. From memory, the saber itself is ~285mm in length.
I make no promises to their durability, but I’m confident they should be approximately as tough as the original stunt sabers.
Gotcha. I’m not committing now, but there’s a very high likelihood that I buy a third hilt, unfinished and a bare aluminum blade to mimic the practice stunts, and that’s the one that I’d beat around with.
Unfortunately, I'm going to have to withdraw my interest. Just got word that a necessary medication has more that doubled in price since my last refill.
Much luck with your run.

Hahaha don’t worry about it! These are not special boxes or anything. Just the shipping boxes I happened to order from Amazon to ship these in.
Interest list updated on the first page. To keep things organized I have decoupled the various options. I can work on the raw castings and painted commissions without metal emitter parts now. The blades are happening I'm just waiting on parts to be manufactured, and the metal emitter parts are still up in the air.
What do you mean by featureless?
The featureless stunts were the ones used for heavy dueling where the pommel cubes, red button, and brass knob were removed from the casting and painted on in “2D”. See the first post of my research thread:

Ah, yes, I know the ones.

Could you make the threaded rod on mine stick out as much as you can? Planning on adding a dueling blade, and that'll help with stability.

Just received my raw casts and they are BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for making these available. The casts are so clean. They're going to need so little clean up. AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!!!
My hilt came. Please excuse the dirt, I whipped up a quick blade late last night out of a curtain rod and some aluminum bar stock that I drilled and tapped.
Diameter is smaller than the actual stunt blades, I just grabbed the first tube that I thought looked good enough to use for the moment.
Sprayed the closest red I had on hand, really fast, and helped it along with a hair dryer.
One picture caught an ant crawling along the blade, I thought that was funny.
Anyway, thanks, Dewy! Great job on these!
I hit it with a quick coat of primer this afternoon. I thought I still had some Tamiya spray primer, but I couldn’t find it. Had to settle for some other junk. Also dug out an old Covertec knob. I’m pretty sure I’ve had that thing since 1999!

Received mine this weekend as well. Theses casts are VERY sharp, and retain plenty of the original detail. The only version of the Ob1 saber that I've ever had was the old Hasbro flick-out toys from '99, and so it was surprising to see how small of a diameter this hilt was.
Also, I accidentally dropped mine on my bathroom floor while I was waving it around, and it hit the tile floor, and..... nothing. No cracks, no damage, no nothing. Although your mileage may vary, these things are tough! Thanks again, Dewy!
