A custom light saber hilt and blade. All Solidworks parts have been added in case someone wants to modify easily, and a Solidworks assembly has been added to show the proper assembly. The hilt is hollow with a break in the center, connected by threading, to allow for a battery and light to be placed inside and ignite the blade. The blade is broken up to allow for easy printing, and there is threading on the bottom of it to allow for easy removal if anything breaks.

Printing instructions:
Lightsaber1a-b: Print 1 vertically
Lightsaber1c: Print 1 at an angle, if your slicer has a lay flat feature just rotate 30
degrees and press lay flat
Lightsaber1d: Print 1 vertically
Lightdaber1e: Print 1 laying flat
Lightsaber1f: Print 1 vertically
Lightsaber1fa: Print 1 vertically (used with Lightsaber1fb instead of Lightsaber1f)
Lightsaber1fb: Print 2 vertically (used with Lightsaber1fa instead of Lightsaber1f)
Lightsaber1g: Print 1 flat
Lightsaber1h: Print 1 vertically
Lightsaber1hWlogo: Print 1 vertically
Blade: All blade parts can be printed vertically but need a large raft and a slow print
speed to keep them from warping or breaking off the print bed.
