Count Dooku's Lightsaber Rubberized Grip

thingiverse

Yet another fantastic original model by CaseStudyno8! Now, from a visual standpoint, it doesn't get any better than this. A lot of research and modeling expertise went into optimizing every single detail, and you can tell just by looking at it. There are some models of this exact lightsaber floating around the interwebs, but most of them would be an insult to Jar Jar Binks' intelligence. Let's face it, they're not even worth mentioning. But when it comes to fan-made prop replicas, there's always room for improvement. My contribution is in the form of a rubberized grip and chamber. I really like the original knurled design of the InnerGrip and LowerChamber, which are supposed to be printed in black PLA or ABS. However, I think they might not be very comfortable (and I'm pretty sure Christopher Lee would agree). As luck would have it, I had some flexible filament from previous experiments lying around. So why not use it on something worthwhile? To make this Remix, you'll need TPE or TPU filament, which can be a bit pricey. I used Recreus FilaFlex, which costs an insane 40 €/$ for 0.5 kg. Also, your machine needs to be capable of printing rubber filament, and many Bowden extruders are limited or not capable at all! In any case, carefully read my advice in the section below to help with printing the rubber sleeves. WARNING: This is a complete overhaul, not an update! My remix may not work with the original parts. All required files are included here.
