Custom Lightsaber #3 - No Supports

thingiverse

This is yet another lightsaber handle that I designed. It's about 13" long. I wanted to give it an elegant and cohesive look from end-to-end. And it only takes about 10 minutes to assemble. I designed this with a square hole down the center to insert square beams for easy alignment during assembly. For assembly, you'll need: * a tube of super glue * the belt clip assembly [here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4547048) Print one of each part except the following: * 2x button2 * 8x pommel_knob **Assembly** Glue a 30mm beam (**beam30**) into the underside of the **emitter**, a 65mm beam into the **pommel_cap**, and center a 60mm beam in the **center_ring**. Although there are 3 different sized beams, you can also just print out multiples of **beam65** instead if you want a little extra support and alignment. If you want to create your own custom beams, they have a 10x10mm cross section. Line up **upper_panel** to the underside of the emitter and glue. The long parts should be in line. **upper_grip** should fit under that. **emitter_shadow** will drop down into the tip of the emitter just to give it the illusion of depth. With the 65mm beam on the pommel cap, put on the **pommel** and **lower_ring**. Then put on **lower_panel** so the long part is opposite the belt clip socket on the lower ring. Then comes the **lower_grip**. Now the two halves come together. Glue the **center_ring** onto the end of the **upper_grip** so the button shroud is opposite the long part of the upper panel. Glue on the lower so the long part of the lower panel is inline with the button shroud on the center ring. Now glue **button1** and 2x **button2** into the slots on the upper panel and **button3** into the center ring. The **pommel_knob** pieces will go in the slots on the pommel. And if you've printed out the separate belt clip assembly, the knob goes in the socket on the lower ring.
