Dual saber, light/torch saber and solid saber mods

A few imperfect mods for 3DPRINTINGWORLDs designs.
A little rough due to the way I remixed them and the blades don't sit quite as deep in the hilt as the original.
The torch adapter locks the torch innards in and allows the plastic cover from the torch to protect the leds and act as the base. The double ended light saber is simply a double ended threaded end cap that joins two normal hilts.

The light source is the innards from a Rolson 9 led torch https://www.rolsontools.com/product/3pc-9-led-aluminium-torch-set/ with a push button soldered at the bottom taken from a light cluster https://www.rolsontools.com/product/24-led-lamp-with-hook-magnet/ (basically that's an 8mm latching push button). All reinforced with hot glue.
The 'solid' light saber is if you need something more stable/stronger than the collapsible version. Works fine in PLA but if you use PETG increase the infill up to the screw threads and threads a bit stiff in PETG I found. Two middles and top make a good sized blade. The 'hilt' has a socket in top for and keeps the screw thread in the bottom for the standard end cap and compatible with the dual ended cap.
