Custom Stunt Saber

thingiverse

Here is a custom Star Wars-inspired lightsaber. This would be great as a 3d printed prop, but was designed so that you could fit tubing inside, with an outside diameter (OD) of 32mm and an inside diameter of 31.5mm (0.5mm thick). A tube of this size is provided in the models but if you plan on making this stunt-ready I recommend using a stronger material, like metal or carbon fiber. The middle section that has been cut out (the "vent", as I call it) can either be printed with something that will diffuse light (prop) or reinforced with plexiglass or acrylic tubing (stunt-ready, the inside diameter is not as important here, but you want to make sure that it will fit snugly with the main tubing on either side). The blade plug was meant for a standard Ultrasaber blade, which can be acquired pretty cheaply. The control plate will have to be modified depending on whether or not you decide to install electronics.
