Rey Skywalker Lightsaber Experimental Emitter

thingiverse

Absolutely love the design by CaseStudyno8! Made some tweaks to make the mechanism work a bit smoother for me. Hope it helps others. These are very much work in progress as I'm trying to make them open as precisely as possible. Wanted to share anyway if anyone wants to improve on the concept. The inner emitter ring with the teeth is a special part that relies on good bridging. It needs attention during the slicing process. Ensure flow rate/extrusion is not too high to prevent hinge parts from sticking together. When slicing, check the first layer. If it is fusing the teeth then try to 'Split to Objects' (PrusaSlicer function) which should let it all slice clean as long as its all in its original position. Then its a good idea to tighten your elephant foot settings to make sure the teeth don't stick together by proximity but if so just use a razor to fix that. The upper rotator can be printed easier if you cut the narrow part off in your slicer and simply glue it together afterwards. Otherwise use supports. Happy printing!
