I figured it was time to move to the dark side for a bit and came up with this design - in hindsight, it looks like something Sauron would be wielding if he was a Sith Lord.
This is my third modular saber, following The Guardian. I will be adding additional parts to this saber in the near future including spacers, hilts, emitter and shroud designs. And yes, I am working on a D-Loop and/or Covertec fastener.
The emitter pieces and hilt grip are compatible with my other ‘modular sabers’, however, the pommel and mid sections of this saber are thinner and will not be compatible with the grips on The Guardian or The Master.
Print Settings:
Layer Height: 0.15mm for main parts, 0.1mm for emitter and buttons.
Walls: 3 for the hilt pieces, 2 for the spacers
Infill: 20% for the shroud, mid section, and pommel. 15% for the rest.
NO SUPPORTS - NO BRIMS - NO GLUE!! :D
Filament:
Assembly Notes:
Look at the pics attached on assembly. The pommel end cap has a 4mm hex hole for an allen key. Note that there are optional indexing holes in the the pommel and button bezel - these are sized to use filament as the alignment pegs.
As always, I hope you all enjoy printing this as much as I enjoyed designing it!
