Lightsaber Blade for Adafruit Prop-Maker

thingiverse

These blades will fit perfectly into the PropMaker lightsaber (1" diameter hole) and come equipped with a tunnel that can accommodate a neopixel strip. Some build photos are available at https://imgur.com/a/x6ewXp8. The hole dimensions are 2.75mm x 12.5mm, so it's essential to ensure your neopixels are smaller than those specifications. The creator used neopixels with no weather protection and measured 2.4mm x 10mm, which slid right in and remained secure without the need for tape. PLA proved too weak to hold more than two or three blades together, causing them to split when swung widely. However, this is not a concern if you plan to combine multiple blades and display them on a shelf for decorative purposes only. PETG has demonstrated the ability to hold up to four stacked blades without issue.
