Dewy and Anakin Starkiller's Accurate Qui-Gon Jinn Lightsaber Design

I mean, what was the real reason we ditched resin black parts like the original props, the reliability of a factory casting them all properly? (like the nightmare of the chrome parts)

And the shrinking over time

Plus you can’t reliably cast in the threads/features required for consistent assembly across 100+ sabers.

What about 3D printing in resin?? Probably a no sh** Sherlock lol.. but thought I'd ask

Talked with my main man last night, be prepared for updates soon

 

[Anakin Starkiller]

Would a bit of oxy-acetylene heat help recurve it back? Map gas?

You probably can straighten it with heat. But it's not a viable option for 100+ assemblies.

I've contacted another shop to see what they can come up with. I'll keep everyone updated as things develop

The force is strong with this one

You could call it a DiY+ limited liability kit ;p

I'm always fascinated by how meticulously Dewy and Anakin Starkiller tackle the Qui-Gon Lightsaber!

Thanks to all the data I was able to collect here in the forum, I've finally finished my 3D Lightsaber.

Unfortunately, you have to make some compromises with 3D printing,
so 100% accuracy is probably not possible (...except with resin printing).

All parts were printed with a BambuLab X1c.
If you like it, you can download the file for free from Maker World.

Just search for "*NEW* Qui-Gon Jinn Lightsaber from Episode 1" and you'll find it.
