This is a 3D printable lightsaber, as well as my first Thingiverse design that I am posting! It can either be printed in one or two parts, though the two-part print is suggested since the whole saber is 13 inches long. This is a lightsaber hilt that i designed that resembles Luke's ROTJ lightsaber in several ways. This lightsaber should be printed vertically and with support material. The saber halves should be oriented so that they are vertical (like a vertical cylinder). It is, after printed, two parts which can be stuck together via use of glue (hot glue, elmer's glue, etc.) or other adhesives such as double-sided tape or other tapes.

Please make sure that the ends of the lightsaber parts are solid and closed if you print in two parts - I have experienced them being closed like designed, but sometimes being open. This may be just a one-time glitch, but check to make sure. If anyone has problems printing, please contact me in the comments.
As I said, this is my first Thingiverse design, so I am welcoming any comments or suggestions that you guys have for future designs or modifications! I hope you enjoy
:D !
