Sith Lightsaber Collapsible blade compatible

thingiverse

I combined 3D printing worlds lightsaber with removable collapsing blades, using the full length design, not the sith version, to share all my blades between sabers without storing spares of different lengths. Check out https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3606120 for the original design. To upgrade the basic design, I incorporated parts from this excellent creation, including bolts and a ring you can print to add at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1370620. However, I'll be using real metal parts to glue into mine. The photo shows my flashlight mod screwed onto the end, available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3930845. Choose your preferred end design and feel free to mix and match from this and other remixes. This was printed with supports and a brim to ensure the end stuck to the bed. Alternatively, you can rotate the design to print it on an angle like a leaning tower, reducing support needs, but layer lines may resemble machining marks left by a lathe, so I wouldn't recommend rotating it.
