1. Universal Cross-Compatibility Across Every SaberCraft Build
Every Blade Emitter, Choke Neck, Upper Extension, Activation Switch, Hilt Grip Sleeve, Pommel Cap, and Coupler in the SaberCraft catalog uses a unified modular screw thread system with clocked shoulder stops so details align across sections.
Because thread pitch, diameter, clocked shoulder stops, and bore clearances match across all 80+ parts, any component you print today threads cleanly onto new parts you add later.
| Interface Location | Thread Spec | Engagement / Depth | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main Hilt Sections | M26 × 3.0 | 8.4 mm male / female socket | Connects Hilt Grip, Activation Switch, Upper Extension, Choke Neck, Blade Emitter, Pommel Stud & Dual-Threaded Center Coupler. |
| Emitter Top Socket | M22 × 3.0 | 8.6 mm male / female socket | Accepts both the 4-section Modular Threaded Blade base and the Turbine Blade Plug. |
| Modular Blade Joints | M18 × 3.0 | 8.6 mm male / 9.5 mm female | Joins the 4 interlocking Ø22 mm blade segments (fits 180 mm tall print beds). |
| Crossguard Side Ports | M12 × 3.0 | 7.2 mm male / female socket | Connects upright-printed Side Quillons and Ø14.4 mm Side Quillon Blades. |
2. Nominal Section Heights & Internal Pass-Through Bores
All SaberCraft hilt components feature continuous hollow internal chambers and Ø16.6 mm thread pass-through bores so you can install steel or carbon weighting rods, LED wiring harnesses, battery sleds, or custom electronics chassis.
