Folding Cane Mod for Leia's Collapsing Light Saber by 3DPRINTINGWORLD

thingiverse

Leia's saber is my favorite, so once I started making lightsaber canes I knew I needed to make hers! I started with a one-piece file because I drop my cane A LOT and it's been very sturdy! I also adjusted the positioning of some of the pieces to match my metal Leia saber. I printed in black, then covered in filler sandable primer. https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-Automotive-260510-12-Ounce-Sandable/dp/B006ZLQ4HQ?keywords=filler+sandable+primer&qid=1661629364&sr=8-2&linkCode=sl1&tag=jen0798-20&linkId=da9b7a5427261af745627d4d4b00116d&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl I originally sprayed it a color I didn't love, but I suggest making your base coat silver as you're going to bump the silver parts and that's where the base paint will show through first. If I wear this one out to the point I need to remake it I'll use this: https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-Automotive-260510-12-Ounce-Sandable/dp/B006ZLQ4HQ?keywords=filler+sandable+primer&qid=1661629364&sr=8-2&linkCode=sl1&tag=jen0798-20&linkId=da9b7a5427261af745627d4d4b00116d&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl I then used Rub'n'buff to paint over the base layer of spray paint and get the details. https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-Automotive-260510-12-Ounce-Sandable/dp/B006ZLQ4HQ?keywords=filler+sandable+primer&qid=1661629364&sr=8-2&linkCode=sl1&tag=jen0798-20&linkId=da9b7a5427261af745627d4d4b00116d&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl I made it to fit this folding cane, which comes in blue: https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-Automotive-260510-12-Ounce-Sandable/dp/B006ZLQ4HQ?keywords=filler+sandable+primer&qid=1661629364&sr=8-2&linkCode=sl1&tag=jen0798-20&linkId=da9b7a5427261af745627d4d4b00116d&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl For reference, the center hole is 26.5mm. Definitely print a test slide to make sure you can slide it over the bulkiest part of the cane. Use gaff tape or similar to make it fit a little more snugly. Actually, you'll want to get gaff tape for sure because you will need that to hold the saber piece on snugly. I like this tape: https://www.amazon.com/Professional-Gaffer-Power-Non-Reflective-Multipurpose/dp/B00GZE3UJ8?keywords=gaffers+tape&qid=1661777834&sprefix=gaff,aps,76&sr=8-7-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyUlA0UEVBS0syTkcxJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDMwMTA4MTMxUDBUMzNLMEVLRCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMzY4MTM4N0pGVkE0RzU1M0g0JndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfbXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ%3D%3D&linkCode=sl1&tag=jen0798-20&linkId=11848b3ff1b3904e64c55072f6935d9d&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl If you make it and post pictures online, please tag me because I'd love to see it! @JenEyreCosplay on most social media sites, and @JenEyrePhoto on TikTok Adding a couple options - the 90% version I used for my cane is 233mm tall. If you use a folding cane on the shortest setting, you might want the 220mm version I'm uploading to make folding easier. I'll also include the full height 258.8mm version. The blue agate version of this cane will also work if the one I linked from amazon doesn't fit your needs. Bonus! It has a gel handle! https://www.cvs.com/shop/cvs-health-gel-grip-folding-cane-prodid-1180225?skuid=980701&cgaa=QWxsb3dHb29nbGVUb0FjY2Vzc0NWU1BhZ2Vz&cid=ps_dme_pla&gclid=CjwKCAjwx7GYBhB7EiwA0d8oe1-ABQvWRx38GGCw4qkOiYXFQVvsaZjLLmZSAexbRVHS-4o7gT4ciBoCVrEQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
