Lightsaber with internal components mega project!
Description
This is a complete user assembled model of one of the greatest allies a Jedi has!
"Your lightsaber is your life"
Instructions
Print, paint and assemble all components. Zip file has all components or download individual parts.
The Chrystal goes in the chamber and then capped.
Glue the two lower body sections together (body one and three,) ribs on body one and cap and buttons on top section (body2).
insert bottom, battery, assembled chrystal chamber, amp chamber and beam chamber in lower body sections.
Gently wiggle the body top on. You may have to sand down the tabs a little to encourage them to go over the rib without cracking.
Body three and two should snap on and hold it all together so you can open it later to service it or put it on display.
Order of components assembly to come in the form of video soon along with pictures. The parts only go together one way and isn't too hard to figure out.
Be warned the crystal may need to print with support. I had trouble rendering a good looking crystal. I may make my own by hand or harvest one!
Print some components in different colours for variations.
I can't wait to see other copies!
I am releasing a kit of parts next that you can mix and match for more variations so stay tuned!

This is pretty cool. Love the detail. My 0.5mm dia nozzle has proven a bit challenging on some of the thinner wall items, especially "body1.stl" and "amp chamber.stl". Better slicing success will be likely with a 0.35 mm nozzle.
I made a crystal that works without support, if you want the .stl I will email it to you for your work in progress - PM me
Has anyone sliced and printed Body1 with a 0.5 mm nozzle? My printer's struggling with that one (slic3r 0.9.7, and 0.7.2b both). The thin walls seem to be an issue. Suggestions welcome.
Awesome! Your pieces look really nice! I'm guessing you need supports on some of the other pieces as well (like the amp chamber)?
The crystal looks like it could be printed in two halves and joined afterwards. If the angles were carefully crafted it might even print as a shell only.
I suspect good Jedi warriors are adept at making a crystal that correctly focuses their own energy. Because they will be attuned to the force and their tools ;-)
i am now really disappointed in myself that i haven't printed something like this before now
Nice!
Would it be possible to get a zip/rar with all the parts in one file?

I printed this off, and I noticed that the Cap and the Body2 are suppose to slide on to each other, but the slot on the cap is not big enough. Is this part of the design? or do I need to sand down Body2 so it will fit?
The cap has a support ring on the inside that needs to come out. Use needle nose pliers and clean up the edge and it will fit the body section.
