3D Printed Lightsaber Collection (WIP)

[emile1138]

Aaaaaand it's me again. Just when you thought you'd had enough of me, right?

I came up with the idea one day to make a collection of 3D printed lightsabers from the Star Wars universe that I find and modify on 3D print file websites, and some that I create on my own.
I will try to properly cite everything that is not my original work to their proper sources, but please forgive me if I miss anything. I am human, after all (unfortunately)...

All parts and pieces in this thread have been printed with my ORION from SeeMeCNC.

There's a lot to post, so I'll let the photos of what sabers I've been working on so far mostly speak for themselves...

I printed a Luke ROTJ lightsaber (found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:321812 ) that I've mangled up and I'm currently in the process of making look like it's been through hell and back in some battle of some sort. Painting isn't done yet, but for the most part it's getting close to completion...

I've also printed an Obi-Wan ROTS lightsaber (found here: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/star- ... al-version ). Painting hasn't started yet, but it's completely printed...

And today I began work on printing a MONSTER of a project, this general lightsaber with internal workings (found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:35120 ). I've only printed the crystal chamber and crystal so far, but we DID take it into Oly's office and hook it up to a fancy little LED+Arduino to see what the crystal would look like with a pulsating LED in it. The answer? Pretty damn awesome!...

A video of the pulsing crystal in the chamber will be posted in a little while...

More progress pictures and more pointless rambling are sure to come!

Yeah this is pretty stellar! Love the crystal addon, keep us posted!

Very cool. Bet your a blast to hang out with. Now I want to print a light saber just so we can do battle.

Some more progress on the internal detail saber today.

Apparently this is what the guts of a lightsaber look like...
