Description
***UPDATE*** LOTS OF NEW NAME PLATES ADDES, SABER POST SIZE CORRECTED AND NEW BASE OPTIONS AVAILABLE.
I really liked the original design (Thingiverse #5332431), but wanted to customize it a bit so that I could use it for Savi's and legacy sabers.
Savi's sabers - The post for the pin was thinned out at the top so that the pin back sticks better. Another base with the ring for the crystal was removed (I don't plan to remove mine).
Legacy sabers - I took off the post for the pin and removed the ring for the crystal.
For all bases, I made a modular name plate with alignment pins for all the Savi's themes as well as many of the Galaxy's Edge Sabers. I also included a blank plate so that anyone can customize for whatever text they want to use. I made these plates so that they could be printed individually and I could change the filament color part of the way through instead of painting the letters.
I included the original posts and supports from the original design so that there would be no need to bounce back and forth between the original and my re-mix.
I printed the base in silk silver and the cups in post in silk copper. One bit of advice, depending on how tuned your printer is the holes, pegs and posts may be snug fits, so a little sanding may be required. Version 2 post is a smaller diameter if you are having problems. In addition, you may find it helpful to print the support posts with a higher infill. I had one break and I was doing 10%, but the others were fine. To be fair, I was putting a little too much force on it. (no pun intended :-))
Print the saber supports on their sides and it is a MUCH cleaner look and no supports, especially if using a smooth build plate.
I just added a base for double saber display for both Ahsoka sets and Ventress if you choose to display as 2 hilts, a name plate and a taller post to stagger the heights that the sabers are displayed at, I only use the one marked as tall for the double saber display.
EDIT - I did not realize my profile did not upload. I made the changes to the diameter as recommended by others. Please search for the appropriate nameplate you need and delete the one/ones you don't need. If printing multiple name plates, they can be printed all at once. If you have an AMS, the filament change is at the same layer. Also note, the supports are strengthened in the base due to having some crack in the past and the base and posts are printed with cubic infill instead of gyroid, since I find this to be a stronger infill. Please message with any questions.
