Jyn Erso ROGUE ONE baton tonfa

thingiverse

After crafting the Jyn Erso card device, I decided to design an extendable baton inspired by the Rogue One teaser's depiction of it. Please note that the original version does not extend - a great challenge for anyone looking to improve upon my design. The baton features a clip allowing you to attach a 12mm diameter flashlight, similar to this one from Fasttech. Edit: A closer look reveals that the baton is actually a tonfa! I initially thought it was something else entirely. The "flashlight" is cleverly designed as the side folding handle. Future versions of the baton will focus on making it spring-loaded and collapsible, deploying when you unfold the side handle to its fighting position at right angles to the baton. This might take some time, but I'm willing to put in the effort. If you have expertise in spring-loaded and trigger mechanisms, please share your knowledge with me - it would be a huge help.
