Lightsaber hilt (for retractable blade)

thingiverse

I really enjoyed 3DPRINTINGWORLD's collapsing lightsaber design, so I wanted to create my own lightsaber that worked with his retractable blades. I designed this lightsaber to be printed without any supports. This design includes a cap on the bottom for the removable blades. The photos of the painted hilt are actually my first version, and then I updated a couple of things and haven't gotten around to painting it so it is still just the white plastic. You can find those blade files here as well as instructions on how to print them: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3606120 I also borrowed some design ideas from this lightsaber concept (some of grip and the emitter): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1378104 For the best blade results, I printed each section of the blade in vase mode.
