Here's my take on Leia's Lightsaber from The Rise of Skywalker. I designed it in pieces so that it can be printed in two colors and assembled as it comes off the printer and also to make it easier to paint if you'd like to go that route. The finished product you see here required little to no post processing and was assembled using CA glue.
I think the design is pretty close, at least as close as possible with very few references available at this point. I will probably make minor revisions as new references become available and/or based on feedback, so let me know what you think if you decide to print this.
General settings are .16 or .2 layer height. 15-20% infill. Concentric layers, support and ironing.Play around with the layer patterning(zig zag, concentric or lines) on the Main Grips and Secondary Grips for different effects. Button pieces and activation ring are delicate and may require finicky adjustment/processing. These pieces are subject to change. What can I say, I'm doing the best I can.
I've also included a few batch files:
Copper:
Copper Batch.stl - most of the copper parts - no supports needed.
Grip Tubes.stl - the main grip and the upper and lower grip inserts - no supports needed
Silver:
Emitter Assembly.stl - emitter parts - use supports - touching buildplate
Silver Batch.stl - most of the silver parts - use supports - touching buildplate
Main Grips.stl - 6x of the main grips - no supports needed,
Secondary Grips.stl - 6x of the secondary grips - no supports needed
Printer Brand:
Creality
Printer:
CR-10 Mini
Rafts:
No
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
.16 and .2
Infill:
15-20%
Filament: SUNULU PLA Silk Copper and Silk Silver
Notes:
Designed to use minimal supports, some parts might not need them, but there are a few that I would say are absolutely necessary.
