Beautiful file and fun project.

Petg black/transparent (edited)

Printed in Inland Black and Natural PLA. Only issue I had was the the nut holder for the handle didn’t hold and so it’s a little rattly, and I had to reduce the o-ring down to 2.2mm for it to expose enough threads for the nut to thread onto. Otherwise, a fun (and relatively quick - once the 3d printing was over) build!

I loved making this; it was fun and very rewarding. I'll be building a belt printer soon, and when I do, I will reprint the blade in one piece! Adafruit projects are so great.

WIP as I just chucked in some random USB LED's I had so not the right size, quality or amount of led's compared to the Neo Pixels used in the guide. BUT should do for party in couple weeks and then maybe for my birthday I'll buy the proper led's and featherwings etc

Also debating making the track wider if I can find cheaper or in stock LED's

prints well and is really nice. Might be nice to have a slightly wider track in the middle for regular led strips. Skinny ones are too expensive. Or at least have the option. Thanks for the design and great work.

I've started building this but hit a snag. The .STLs for the blade and hilt for the 'small printers' (i.e. Prusas) don't include insets/screw/nut holes for fixing them together.
So the only way to do this for this size printer is with glue, which isn't workable.
The 'large printer' STLs are fine, and include these, but they're too large for my Mk3s printbed.
If it's not going to be available then the only option would be to sweat it out remodelling using the cad files (which thankfully were supplied). (edited)

Wow it's a very nice project to do!
