Kyber Crystal Jedi Crusader Pendant

prusaprinters

<p>I designed this for my kid after they got a kyber crystal on our Disney trip and wanted to wear it. The design is based off the Jedi crusader pendant from The Last Jedi visual dictionary and will need a loop of leather or other cord to complete it. I painted mine and then weathered it as I've been informed it is a piece of Mace Windu's lost saber and needs to look appropriately old and tarnished.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Suggested Print Settings</strong></p><p>0.1mm layer height, 40% infill, with 4-5 perimeters to ensure that the thin pillars of the bottom are printed solid</p><p><strong>Notes on Variants</strong><br>I have a few different variants of the model included here as the tolerances and tuning of your printer will affect the thread engagement. Ideally you want the part to threat together tightly and not open on its own but you do not want it so tight that it can't be unthreaded later.<br><br>The top piece does not change but the bottom has three thread options, tight (0.2mm clearance), medium (0.3mm clearance), and loose (0.4mm clearance). On my Prusa MK3S I found that the 0.3 was too tight and the 0.4mm was the sweet spot. On my Voron V2.4 0.4mm was way too loose. You may want to cut the part down and just print the threaded portion to determine which is right for you.<br><br>The other option I have included is built in supports. Only the bottom part needs supports and you have the option of selecting none and doing it yourself, 0.1mm which will give a 0.1mm gap between the supports and the part, and 0.15mm which will give a 0.15mm gap. The 0.15 can be used with layer heights of 0.2mm without issue in my experience.</p><p>I have also included a model for a kyber crystal similar in dimensions to those found at Galaxy's Edge. I did not print that part as I have no need of it but for those who don't have one from Disney and want to try out this model it is there for you. For best results I would suggest either resin printing the crystal or using a translucent filament and printing it solid. It is faceted to appear similar to the kybers sold so it doesn't gave a great print orientation. You can slice it in half and print that way without supports.&nbsp;</p>
