*SMALL* Collapsing Lightsaber - Double Bladed or Single Bladed

prusaprinters

<p>This is a collapsing lightsaber inspired by 3DPRINTINGWORLDS design. i wanted to print his but found it used loads of material that i wasnt willing to use, so i designed this smaller model (approx 50cm long) that uses a lot less. i also adapted parts of the design so you can join two hilts together and make it double bladed. this is not anyones lightsaber from the films, this is just a custom hilt i designed myself. i hope you like it, any problems please tell me and i will do my best to make changes. i have tried to be clear about which file is which part in the pictures so i hope you find it easy to understand. Enjoy</p> <p>The blades may require some post processing, 1 and 2 are suitable to print in vase mode however 3 is not and will need to be printed normally, i am currently working on redesigning it so it can be printed in vase mode. all parts with thread i recommend using .12 layer height and using adaptive layers on the hilt to speed it up if you are on cura</p> <p>Update: 29/07/2020 : 1 alternate design for each part to add customisability, labelled with a 2 at the end, there is no difference in functionality in these alternate parts, they are simply aesthetically different. I have not printed these parts yet so no pictures are available at the moment. File 'Blade 3' should now be printable in vase mode.</p> <p>Assembly:</p> <p>Single Bladed:</p> <p>Insert blades in order 1 2 3</p> <p>Pommel screws onto bottom</p> <p>Emitter screws onto top</p> <p>Done</p> <p>Double Bladed:</p> <p>Two hilts</p> <p>Screw emitter onto top of each</p> <p>Insert blades into each one</p> <p>Screw DoublePommelExternalThread onto one and DoublePommelInternalThread onto the other</p> <p>Screw the pommels together</p> <p>The pommels can be unscrewed at any point and they will function as two seperate lightsabers</p> <p>Done</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 3</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>if printing this, you can either do the full thing as .12 layer height, or if you use cura i recommend using a the adaptive layers setting as this greatly reduced my print time. the threaded parts at the top and bottom i recommend .12</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>I didnt do any infill apart from one of the double bladed joining pieces</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Any PLA Any</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>For the double bladed joining pieces you will need to use supports but you wont need them for anything else</p></div> </p></p></p> Category: Props
