Unique Lightsaber with Belt Clip - no supports

thingiverse

I designed this from an art project I did years and years ago in school. This isn't representative of any specific character's lightsaber. It's just my own creation. The end result is about 10 1/2" long and is surprisingly comfortable to hold. This is completely printable without supports. I printed this at 0.08mm layer heights, but would probably still look good at 0.2mm. I even designed a belt clip so this can be worn when cosplaying. All you need for assembly is a little super glue and a few short pieces of 1.75mm filament to use as pins for assembly.There's also a 0.3-0.6mm gap between the pieces, so there may be a little wiggle room when assembling. I designed this with a 3/4" hole down the center so you can put a dowel in it and pose for pictures and then Photoshop a proper glowing blade in. This likely wouldn't hold together for any amount of sparring/fighting. The switch assembly is purely decorational and doesn't have any moving parts. I've included a belt clip, although I'll probably spin that out into it's own project so it could be used for other things. The belt clip holds onto the lightsaber just with a spring, not with any mechanical release or latch. **Note:** dry fit all pieces before gluing them together. This may look like a complex build due to there being a lot of pieces, but it's actually pretty simple once you get going. Happy printing! **Edit:** I created a separate project just for the belt clip [here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4547048).
