Sean walks us through the assembly of his 3D-printed cutaway Sith lightsaber, showing us how to put it all together from parts you can print on your own printers! Along the way, we learn about the design of the individual pieces and get some tips for printing on the Formlabs Form 2 SLA printer.
Find the files to print your own lightsaber model here: pinshape.com/items/24930-3d-p...

should give one of these to Adam to paint/weather

@passerby5735 7 лет назад

I made a lightsaber from recycled materials, sheet metal, plumbing and electrical parts, and metal wire, but it helped having all the tools I already owned. It turned out looking very industrial and worn. It's heavy too. I built it so it would have room for a crystal chamber and other compartments (not a 3D printed one, but some quartz). It turned out great. Just need to polish it with a buffing wheel to give it a nice shiny finish. Making more now to sell to a couple friends who loved it.

I love these SLA resin tank printers and their high resolution. The Form Labs 2 has a layer thickness as thin as 1 thou. Expensive and smaller build volumes, but they make standard FDM printers look like a machine squirting toothpaste.

I've been looking at a lot of lightsaber designs over the last month. Being able to bludgeon them to death with the hilt is a classic feature of Sith lightsabers. Not casting aspersions, just sayin'. I'm very fond of Ashoka's new ones, and Rham Kota's. (very understated)

@DavidLinkan 7 лет назад

I have a $300 PLA printer and I'm pretty sure that, even with careful settings, I won't get either as crisp details or clear crystal/gem. There's details on there that I know won't be able to be printed, like the parallel tubes on the central part (or they will be covered by the supports' flashs). I love this model and it's beautifully designed, props to Sean - but this is like advertising exotic cars to college students. That's clearly out of range. I'll give it a go, but that will be just out of curiosity.

@bugman72 8 лет назад

Have you tried printing this using an FDM printer and if so, were you able to get close to the same fit and tolerances as the SLA? Would love to print one of these out on my modified Prusa I3. I do have a question regarding the electronics for this. You didn't specify anywhere during your discussion on the electronics portion of the build about using a resistor on the LED. Are you using one? In my experience, using an LED without a resistor, even if the voltage of the battery is basically the same as the LED's nominal voltage, will result in premature failure of the LED. Even a small value resistor (0.5 ohm) will be enough to protect the LED. I would hate to have to take everything apart later on in order to replace the LED just because a resistor wasn't used.

@TheDanEfranChannel 8 лет назад

They did briefly mention using a resistor, but didn't go into any detail. You're right that it's important to include one in almost any LED circuit.

rip rap. but just build one. learn some c and do it on an arduino mega. they have a printer shield with swappable stepper controllers and lcd, and the code is open source. then it runs g code like a real printer. then with this set up you can swap it for a Dremel for UWHPE milling (or wax for casting), or even a laser

@Zaku186 7 лет назад

you just blew my mind a little. i do a LOT of tinkering around with metal work. you mean to tell me i can build a 3D printer that prints in wax? so then i can just throw it in some refractory and go my normal route in casting? that is fucking epic. can you give me a little more info on where to look up how to build one?

@DesireeBorghese 8 лет назад

It might deal with the fact that Disney copyrighted or patented lightsabers and anyone using the term lightsaber to refer to a toy is infringing it. (Im not sure if thats a myth or if its true though. Even though they also used lightsaber in the title of the video so it could just be what he learned the name to be at a young age.

@traggeydatroll 8 лет назад

They're clearly making an effort not to call it lightsabre, and as you said it is called that in the video title. Which is why this makes no sense. They even stop themselves several times in the video when they're about to say lightsabre.

@lutobor13 8 лет назад

You can't print such small details on cheap FDM printer. You'll never be able to make anything even close. SLA printers are only ones which can make such details and tolerances, and they ain't cheap.

@RAMII19780529 8 лет назад

+Veles Vapes Even the cheap ones can get down to 0.05mm layer heights and have XY positional accuracy to 0.01. If you use a 0.2mm nozzle you can print details to about 0.25mm. I have a printer that can. Its an original PrintrBot Simple, with some modifications, it cost about $350 a few years ago. The stuff selling for around $200 looks more solid than that was. Tinker with it until you get the results you want. While there are some limitations, printing this light sword isn't one of them.
