Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber

thingiverse

Inspired by this model by CaseStudyno8: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1538383 I tried to upload this as a remix but for whatever reason, his model wasn't showing up designed this for a project a friend and I are working on, we intend to use some 25mm (or 1 inch) frosted acrylic tube as the blade and put an led strip with a controller and batteries inside to make it light up and change colours and stuff **IMPORTANT** there are two versions of the saber included, if you intend to attach a blade and actually swing it then you want to print the files under the 'one piece' folder however you will need a 300mm tall printer. if you have a smaller printer or just want a purely cosmetic prop (in all likelyhood it'll break if you try to swing it) then you should use the files under the 'multi piece' folder. you might be able to get away with printing the multi piece parts in petg or some simmilar engineering grade plastic without it breaking but i havent tested this. for either version you will need to print everything in the accesories tab and the thread test. do the thread test first to see how tight the threads print on your printer and if needed you can adjust the clearence on the model in cad. By default theres a 0.1mm offset using a press pull on all the faces of one end of the thread, to adjust it simply alter this value there are three holes in the mid section to crossdrill and pin (or bolt) the blade in so it doesnt fly out then end. you will want to make sure they are flush with the surface since these are coverd up by the on-off button both the STL's and the Fusion 360 files are provided in case you want to modify the design
