3D printed Obi-wan Lightsaber

That pommel definitely doesn't look like plastic. I'm wondering though... Silver/chrome paint always seems a little darker than real chrome. Instead of a gloss black base coat, what if you used gray or blue? Just a thought.

That might be what I'll do with the emitter when I finish it. My filler primer is gray and I plan on using that as a base. Then either Rub 'n Buff pewter or the SpazStix chrome without black base coat....
 
Finally got a chance to finish my sanding and painting of my replacement emitter. Decided on satin black with Pewter Rub 'n Buff. I also switched out the 1 inch D-ring to a 3/4 inch D-ring. I'm very happy how this turned out and want to thank Valcrow for this wonderful 3D printed kit.

I'm no photographer but here are my best beauty shots....

After ten minutes of staring;
man those chrome pieces look fantastic. Even looks like the clamp lever and transistors have a glistening chrome finish. Top notch work mate:cheers
 
First let me say a Big THANK YOU to Valcrow for making this file available to everyone. I have to tell you i just got my first 3d printer This past Friday. I got a ROBO R1 Plus on sale on Amazon deal of the day. Anyways so this was the Third thing i printed so keep that in mind but i think it turned out pretty well. I am giving this one to my Brother So when i make another i will post a pic of it painted.

THANKS AGAIN Valcrow.

All of these look awesome! I really need to get started on one of these soon. Does anyone know if there is a Luke V2 available for 3D printing? I saw one earlier in this thread but I don't think the user is active anymore. It looked pretty impressive though. The item in question is on page 9, post #205

Join MCM's shared stunt build thread! The V2 has mostly the same geometry as the shared stunt:

I finally got a 3d printer and this has to be my first project!

Just out of curiosity, what do you guys use for the lightbulbs? It seems a single piece of transparent plastic.
