Rey's Light Saber Remix by JohnLava

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This remix has been a year in making, I ran out of the Black Haze PTEG I was printing with and there was no more to be available, then I was put 12 hour shifts, so it got put on the back burner. I added threading to the upper and lower hilts so it wouldn't need to be glued I trimmed down lower part of the emitter and designed a "switch" that is pressure fitted over that end of the emitter so it looks more like Rey's Light Saber. I printed the Emitter at 102% because the with Amazon Basic PETG I used it was too tight, and the switch was printed to fit. The top retainer helps keep the triangles on the emitter from falling out, super glue works on the PLA version I printed. I'm still looking for a good PETG glue, what I used on my original make of SparkBibo's design didn't hold and I had to "weld" the upper and lower hilts together a with soldering iron and filament. Which is why I started this remix in the first place, so I could make it without glue.The only part that needs support is the end cap, no rafts needed, I did use brims.
Added display a stand on 4/3/21
Added screw heads to emitter for looks, adjusted diameter of the switch, added a second choice for the end cap 4/4/21
