Obi Wan Lightsaber

thingiverse

I designed this years ago when I couldn't find a suitable, printable Obi-Wan lightsaber model that met my standards. It's likely better options exist now and I should have uploaded it sooner, but here we are today. The interior was intentionally left hollow to accommodate an Arduino Mini, batteries, wiring, and some LEDs for a light-up effect. The knobs and buttons were meant to be fully functional, but after Halloween (the project's original purpose) it never received the finishing touches. I can't confirm every component fits perfectly without any adjustments, however they do fit with a bit of effort as evident from the assembled pictures. I apologize that it's been so long since I last reviewed this project, but I believe the files ending in 88 are simply scaled down to 88% of their original size because the initial model seemed too large. If there's enough interest, I might consider uploading the original SketchUp file and allowing someone else to build upon this design.
