Collapsing Lightsaber (Removable Blade) - FlashForge Finder Edition

thingiverse

I was determined to bring the 3DPrintingWorld's Collapsing Lightsaber to life, but its massive size posed a significant challenge for my FlashForge Finder's 140mm build area. Undaunted, I decided to dissect the blade into manageable sections, carefully cutting each down to fit within the printer's constraints. To maintain the original design's majestic reach, I added two more slender sections, cleverly extending it to approximately one meter - a precise measurement that still eludes me. The hilt's bulky portion was skillfully reduced in size, allowing for the addition of another screw section. This ingenious modification enabled the saber to be disassembled and reassembled with ease, consisting of three neatly compartmentalized sections, each measuring under 140mm. While I suspect that this modified design would thrive on printers with larger build areas, my FlashForge remains the sole witness to its successful execution. For those fortunate enough to possess a spacious printer, I highly recommend exploring 3DPrintingWorld's original masterpiece: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3606120.
