Collapsing Lego Lightsaber

This is a 10:1 scale of the Lego Lightsaber with a collapsing blade. It has a screw on cap so the blade can be printed separately then inserted or replaced. I did make the blade a little longer because at 10 times scale it would only have been 12.5” long. If you do want it to scale it will be more durable too. Just print the blades in vase mode and increase the line width.

External supports are not required but there are some built in supports for the buttons, be sure to remove them after printing. For best results use a .4mm nozzle. The blades can be printed all at once concentrically or individually in vase mode. I suggest printing in vase mode but if printing concentrically, the test print can be found here. Find detailed instructions on how to print collapsing swords on my website. 

There were some reports of air being trapped so I added a version of the cap with a hole.  I also added a double caps so you can put two lightsabers together.
