Kenobi Lightsaber

Happy Star Wars Day everyone! This year I've chosen to recreate another iconic weapon from the Original Trilogy, so I've remixed the lightsaber model of Jacky Wan aka Valcrow of Redicubrics (one of the first 3D printed models I ever made). The original model is incredibly impressive with technical solutions that should be studied carefully, however it has a weak spot at the clamp-pin connection that tends to break while playing with the hilt or wearing it for cosplay unless you glue it together. First, I decided to only implement the connections I used for my Graflex lightsaber, but then I got carried away in the process and remodeled other parts of the hilt too. As Jacky's original model this one is also optimized for support-free FDM printing and easy assembly that requires no glue. I've printed most parts at 0.15 mm layer height with Fillamentum PLA on my Ultimaker 2+. Happy printing and may the sticking force be with your buildplates!
