Adam Savage's One Day Builds - Custom Beat Saber Hilts!

Building Custom Lightsaber Handles for Oculus Quest Standalone VR Rig

Adam from Tested here in the game and we're just about to do another one day build this one involves this amazing device if you listen to still untitled you know that this is the Oculus Quest standalone VR rig and I'm kind of addicted to the game Beat Saber I've been playing it almost every day I take this with me on the road I play in hotel rooms Beat Sabre is my new jam and I'm really liking it I'm also really liking the cardio that it is and gendering in me I'm like it's almost my workout given that I thought I'd like to up my Beat Saber game and the fact is these controllers are really awesome and well-designed but they don't feel like lightsabers so I thought to someone make light saber handles for these and of course it's the Internet of course they do I went on eBay and I bought these a pair of 3D printed light saber handles these are well-designed robust little light saber handles my only issue with them is that has to connect right has to connect up to this guy.

The first step in building custom lightsaber handles for the Oculus Quest controllers was to ensure that they would securely attach to the existing handles. The original handles were too bulky and did not fit snugly enough, making it difficult to achieve a secure connection. To solve this problem, Adam used 3D printing technology to create custom parts that would fit perfectly onto the existing handles. He also made sure to add some extra material to the connection points to ensure that they would hold firmly in place. With the new handles attached, the Oculus Quest controllers looked sleek and modern, with a futuristic touch that added to their overall aesthetic.

Next, Adam turned his attention to modifying the handles themselves. He wanted to create custom machined aluminum and Delrin feet saber lightsaber add-ons for his controllers. This involved creating a precise fit for the new handle parts, which required some careful design and testing. The end result was a pair of perfectly fitted handles that not only looked amazing but also provided a comfortable grip. Adam's attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident in every aspect of the build.

To complete his custom lightsaber handles, Adam added a few extra features to enhance their functionality. He installed two all-threads in each handle pommel, which would serve as the new tightening nut for the lightsabers. This allowed him to achieve a secure connection between the handle and the lightsaber, making it easier to play Beat Saber. Additionally, Adam added some extra material to the connection points to ensure that they would hold firmly in place.

With his custom lightsaber handles now complete, Adam was eager to test them out. He powered up his Oculus Quest controllers and fired up a game of Beat Saber. As he began to play, he noticed that the new handles felt more comfortable and secure than ever before. The connection between the handle and lightsaber was seamless, allowing him to focus on the game rather than worrying about the hardware. Overall, Adam's custom lightsaber handles were a huge success, and they added an extra layer of excitement to his Beat Saber experience.

As Adam continued to play Beat Saber with his new custom lightsaber handles, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. The build had turned out exactly as planned, and it was clear that all his hard work had paid off. With the Oculus Quest controllers now sporting sleek and modern custom lightsaber handles, Adam felt like he was ready to take on any game that came his way. Whether it was Beat Saber or another favorite title, Adam's new hardware would ensure a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience every time.
