The brief
Step 1 of 4
- Use
- Cosplay prop and display piece
- Hilt
- Opens by hand to reach the battery holder
At Additive Inn, our 3D printing studio in Singapore, we made a fan-made lightsaber prop. It needed a hilt that holds a battery, opens by hand, and a blade long enough to read as a lightsaber.
Production
Step 2 of 4
The hilt and its threaded battery holder were 3D printed by FDM in silver, and the blade as a long tube in green.
Build and assembly
Step 3 of 4
The battery holder screws into the end of the hilt. We tested it by hand, uncapping it and screwing it back in.
The final build
Step 4 of 4
The finished lightsaber holds the long green blade in the ribbed silver hilt, ready to carry or hang on the wall.
