Leia's Multi-Part Collapsing Lightsaber

This version of the lightsaber has a screw on cap so the blades can be printed separately then inserted or replaced. It has been broken into different parts so they can be printed separately in different colors and assembled. I used Gorilla Glue (aff.) to glue mine together.

This version is Saber Plug compatible! This is a print-in-place spring-loaded cap that is printed separately to retain the blades when not in use. The cap positivity locks onto a groove on the ID of the hilt. There is also a optional cap with a D-ring.

Supports are not required, for best results use a .4mm nozzle. You can print the blades all at once concentrically or one at a time in vase mode. I suggest printing in vase mode but if printing concentrically, the test print can be found here. Find detailed instructions on how to print collapsing swords on my website. 

I achieved the two colors on the hilt with a single extruder printer with manual filament swaps.
