A custom light saber hilt and blade. All Solidworks parts have been added in case someone wants to modify easily. 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:
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.
Lightsaber 2a: Print 1 vertically
Lightsaber 2b: Print 1 vertically with supports
Lightsaber 2c: Print 5 Flat
Lightsaber 2d: Print 2 Vertically
Lightsaber 2e: Print 4 Horizontal with supports
Lightsaber 2f: Print 2 flat

Print the blades slower (specifically slower infill, or just remove combing) because they are so tall they have a tendency to want to warp when it gets near the top.
