Sink Pipe Lightsaber

thingiverse

These are parts that I created and remixed to make lightsabers for my kids. I wanted something Vader-esque and something kid-friendly that was easy to operate and looked cool. I'll be writing a full tutorial on my website about how to build this. It uses a 1 /1/2 inch chrome sink pipe that you can get from any hardware store. I'll list the remix parts when that feature starts working again on Thingiverse.
