Description

I've made a few light sword-hilty things in my time - steel, aluminum, cardboard, and now plastic! All but the emitter base can be printed without support material. Modeled 100% in Tinkercad using basic geometric shapes. 

Using colored filament you can achieve a finish that doesn't need paint or weathering; add a 5/8 inch polycarbonate tube (outer-diameter) for added affect. Voids in the model are big enough to accommodate modest electronics and LEDs for the hard-core cosplayer. 

Making your own... is an important step in your training. Do you have your crystal?

Print: .2mm layer height, 3 shells, and 30% infill

Materials: Black, Silver, and Transparent (Pro PLA / MatterHackers.com)

Extras: 16mm Button, 10K Potentiometer (Adafruit.com), 5/8 inch Polycarbonate Tube (Amazon.com)

Printed and fitted everything together, with a little elbow grease, since the threading needed some sanding work. Looks great! I do have a question, though: how is the 10K potentiometer actually put into the model and do I need an 11mm button? Do I need to use both the 11mm and 16mm button rings for assembly? Thanks, and, again, great model.

how is the emitter ring supposed to fit on the emitter base? the base is far too thick in that point
