Custom Lightsaber #5, wood texture theme - No supports

thingiverse

I wanted to design a lightsaber with a wooden texture just for something different, and this is the result. It's about 11 1/4" once assembled and all of the pieces are easily printable with no supports. Square beams keep the pieces aligned and add strength. For assembly, you'll need: * a tube of super glue (2 is probably more realistic) * the belt clip assembly [here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4547048) (optional) Print out 1 of each part except: * 2x mid_ring_2 * 2x mid_ring_3 * 3x beam20 * 2x beam40 * 2x belt_clip_knob_base_dummy (print 2 if you DON'T plan on using a belt clip. Otherwise print 1) **Assembly** **Emitter section:** **emitter_core** goes inside **emitter_shroud**. Line those pieces up and glue a 40mm beam (**beam40**) up through the square hole. **emitter_shadow** goes in the circular hole in the emitter. **Mid grip:** **mid_collar_frame** will get **mid_panel_a_wood** and **mid_panel_b_wood** glued to the sides, and **button** will go in the oval slot. **Rings below mid grip:** For **mid_ring_1**, a 20mm beam (**beam20**) goes in the bottom and a 40mm beam goes in the top. On the end of **mid_ring_1** that has the 40mm beam, slide on and glue **mid_ring_2**, **mid_ring_3**, another **mid_ring_2**, and another **mid_ring_3**. **Lower grip:** A 20mm beam goes in the middle of **lower_grip_wood**. This piece meshes tightly with **lower_grip**. Make sure the beam lines up with the hole on the inside of **lower_grip**, and apply glue to the inside of either piece, and slide them together. If you plan on using a belt clip, glue **belt_clip_knob_base** into the desired slot in the lower grip and **belt_clip_knob_base_dummy** into the remaining slot. If you DON'T plan on using a belt clip, just glue **belt_clip_knob_base_dummy** into both slots. **Pommel:** A 20mm beam goes in the **pommel**. Glue **pommel_deco_wood** onto the end of **pommel**. There will be a slot and tab that fit together to keep it aligned. **pommel_vent** will then go in the circular hollow of the pommel. **Assemble sections** Keep the wood texture of each section aligned with the other sections during assembly. The emitter section goes on top of the mid grip. Mid rings go on the bottom of the mid grip. Lower grip goes below that. And the pommel caps off the end. Use the pictures the aide in assembly.
