Read the full build guide on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eky3g7WeSCQ In this project, we're crafting a 3D Printed Energy Sword from the Halo video game series. Inside the blades are NeoPixel LEDs connected to an Adafruit Feather BLE 32u4 micro-controller. A 2000mAh lipo battery will provide several hours of power and can be recharged via USB. The blade is 86cm (34in) tall, and the whole sword weighs just under 1 pound. You can connect to the Adafruit Feather through Bluetooth using the Adafruit Bluefruit LE Connect app for iOS or Android, which lets you change the animation or color of the LEDs. Print Settings Printer Brand: Ultimaker Printer: Ultimaker 2 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: .18 Infill: 10 Notes: We used a .8mm olssen block nozzle to speed up print times for the blade parts. Use custom supports for the handle parts, and print the handle vertically to increase z resolution.
