Lightsaber hilt (for retractable blade)

thingiverse

I thoroughly enjoyed 3DPRINTINGWORLD's collapsing lightsaber design, so I decided to create my own lightsaber that worked seamlessly with his retractable blades. I designed this lightsaber to be printed without any supports whatsoever. This design features a cap on the bottom for easy removal of the blades. The photos of the painted hilt are actually my first version, and then I updated a couple of things and haven't gotten around to painting it yet so it is still just the white plastic. You can find those blade files here as well as instructions on how to print them: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3606120 I also borrowed some design ideas from this lightsaber concept (some of grip and the emitter): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1378104 For the best blade results, I printed each section of the blade in vase mode with precision.
