Update 10/18: I have recently completed Luke Skywalker (original) and Darth Vader replica sabers that are compatible with these modular sabers. The replica print profiles include an XL (~12-inch) blade that works with these sabers if you prefer a longer blade.
This is a small, modular lighted lightsaber. It is the perfect size for small children or adults who want a smaller saber to play around with. The lightsaber is designed with modular parts that can be swapped and easy multicolor even without AMS. No supports are needed to print.
A functional print consists of:
Pieces from each design are interchangeable with the others. Mix and match to your liking.
The design was built and tested with the following 3.5 in pen lights (nonaffiliate links):
Other pen lights up to about 16mm diameter may work but have not been tested.
I have tested most parts in both PLA and PETG. I highly recommend glow PLA for the blades, but they will illuminate fine with any light or translucent filament. The main print profile uses a small brim for the blades just in case, but my prints have been fine without it. Please make sure your print surface is clean, and please do not blame the print profile for adhesion issues.
You can add additional multicolor details to your hilt by inserting filament color changes in your slicer. All of the designs except for duelist have horizontal bands on the top and bottom hilts at the same layer height. When printing with .2 layer height, a filament switch at layers 246 and 256 will produce a simple but excellent multicolor effect.
