Another Jyn Erso Baton

thingiverse

This is not so much a remix, but ant82's remix is where I started and used it as a guide. This model is larger and assembles in an entirely different manner. It also uses a spring loaded shuttle to hold the shaft in the extended and collapsed positions. Assembled this is 337.86mm before it is extended. The longest single part is the Upper Body which is 195mm long. TinkerCAD model if you want to make adjustments: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/71kvCYmMxr5 Design goals: - Minimal non-printed hardware - Print all parts vertically with limited supports - Ease of assembly/minimal glue - Stays open or closed regardless of (non-excessive) movement. - Multi-material handle so no painting is required if using a MMU or Palette Required Hardware: - 1 300mm long, 20mm OD, 15mm ID tube - [example](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YCH11G9/) - 1 20mm M5.08 socket head screw - [example](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082W2XWV1/) - 1 M5 nut - [example](https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Hex-Nut-Pack-50/dp/B07BKTBZYM/) - 1 7/32" x 11/16" compression spring - 1 drop of thread locker Printing notes: - Print 2 copies of Nipple - These notes are based on printing with a Prusa MK3S. YMMV - Use a support enforcer to add support internally for the first 40-45mm of the Upper Body and Lower Body to support the lip where the ID reduces. - For the Center support from the build plate only. Assembly: - Dry fit everything first and adjust as needed. - Smooth the interior and exterior edges on the ends so they are smooth. - Add glue inside the End Cap and insert one end of the tube. - Assembled the Shuttle - Turn the Shuttle Body upside down (bottom hole up) - Orient and insert Nipples so they stick out the sides. - Compress and insert the spring between the nipples. - Add a small bit of glue on each side of the spring and insert the Shuttle Plug to close off the bottom of the Shuttle. - Add glue and insert the shuttle into the other end of the tube. - **NOTE:** Alignment is going to be key for the knurls on the End Cap to match up to the knurls on the Lower Body when the baton is collapsed. - Add glue and insert Center into Lower Body. - Add glue and insert Center into Upper Body. - Insert nut into hex hole on the hinge bracket on Center. - Insert the Handle into the hinge bracket on Center. - Insert bolt through hinge bracket and Handle and tighten into nut. - Compress the Nipples in the Shuttle and insert the tube into the Lower Body. - Rotate the tube until the Nipples extend into the internal track. Warnings: - Don't really hit people with it. - It's a prop, it likely won't hold up to really hitting anything. - Don't open the baton by swinging it. The nipples in the shuttle aren't likely to hold that well. Note: I haven't run a print of "Handle - Single", but it should work just fine. My print information: - Prusa MK3S + MMU2s - PushPlastic Silver @0.1mm for the Shuttle parts and Center - PushPlastic Silver & Black @0.15mm for the Handle as a single MMU print - Amazon/Overture PETG for the Body pieces and end cap - The "Upper Body" and "Center" were the only parts to use supports - For the body I used a support enforcer for the first 40mm on the inside of the housing - For the center I printed it vertically and supported from the build plate only
