This is a collapsible lightsaber hilt. This is Ahsoka Tano's original lightsaber from Star wars The Clone wars TV show. There is no painting or hardware required. You will need 4 different colors of filament if you're going to get away with out painting it. All color changes are either done per part, or per layer. No multi material capabilities required. I did print the outer core using tree supports in orca slicer. And the silver and black button was printed silver side up, with supports inside. The rest was printed without supports. 

I started with 3d printing world's collapsing lightsaber with removable blade and sheared away all the external aesthetics until it was just a tube with a threaded cap at the bottom. That's when I went to work. I used a lot of reference material from stills of the clone wars (there is a great close up in the episode in season 2 where she gets her lightsaber stolen) as well as models on printables and thingiverse meant to be more screen accurate (rather than meant to house a collapsible blade). 

My motivation for this is that my 10yr old daughter has recently started watching the clone wars and has absolutely fallen in love with Ahsoka and has already decided she's going to be Ahsoka for halloween this year. It was a lot of fun to design. 

There are still some tweaks I plan to make in the future, including a pommel designed to hold a flashlight. I will also be designing the Shoto hilt to go along with this one. That will be a bit more involved as I'll have to shorten up the collapsing blade and that will require some test prints and tolerance adjustments. 

Please build it yourself and give me feedback if you've got it! 

Its a fairly simple build. The round black parts that stick out on either side at the bottom currently don't have a cavity or locator of any kind yet, but its in the works. For now just eyeball it. I've included an exploded view of my model so you can see where all the parts go. You need to print one of everything except the side accents, print 2 of those.
