Black Panther Lighstaber

It's finally here, and without a doubt, the project I'm most proud of. Enjoy printing! I want to give credit where it's due to BrightSun's Base model pieces from Savi's Customizeable saber pieces. I adapted my own design from there as a starting point. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3722640 This masterpiece features African themes on the lower half of the handle, the teeth from T'challa's necklace, Wakanda font wrapped around the upper half that reads "Black Panther" as well as dot patterns on the upper half that are reminiscent of Killmonger's war scars. Beyond teaching myself how to airbrush, I also tried out applying gold leafing for the first time. This was all custom designed in 3D as my very first project from scratch. This project was heavily inspired by Black History month and the rich culture of many countries in Africa. I do recommend using supports on all the pieces to keep everything tight and controlled. This model does indeed work with Savi's lightsaber core and blade from Disneyland.
