Design Philosophy:
I designed this print in place collapsible lightsaber, because I saw that there was no free one out there. This took many designs and test prints to get it long enough and strong enough for this use case. I also was largely inspired by star wars. This was also intended to be used as a children’s toy, as they love to play swordfight and starwars.
Print Parameters (what I used):
Slicer: OrcaSlicer
Printer: Creality CR6-SE
Filament: generic yellow (I have also printed in many other filaments, but after all the tests, only my yellow filament had enough to finish. Just be sure your filament is dryish)
Infill: Gyroid 10% (the main lightsaber walls are only two lines thick, so the infill only effects the handle)
Retraction: 3mm
Nozzle Temp: 220 degrees Celsius
Support: No supports necessary!
Other:
My original print 3mf is included in the model files labeled "sword.3mf”.
I really appreciate any support and or boosts. Comments are always welcome and helpful. I would love to see any makes that you guys do.
