Kyle Katarn's First Lightsaber

thingiverse

Rewind a few years…maybe a little more than a few years. It's 1997 - Dark Forces II came out. Thanks to the popularity of the Dark Forces II the Kyle Katarn character was absorbed into the expanded universe. This was his first lightsaber - created by Jedi Master Qu Rahn; and passed down to Kyle by his father, Morgan. I don't know why, but I loved this lightsaber and it is still my favorite design to this day. I remember building it out of drain tubes, aluminum, washers and PVC pipes back in the day. So 27 years later, I figured I would build it again on a 3D printer. The dimensions came from a schematic I found online and a handful of pics I found. Like most of my designs, this model does not require any supports, brims, or glue (because I hate glue!)You can go to my Printables page to download the STLs and intructions: https://www.printables.com/model/771443-kyle-katarns-first-lightsaber
