Kylo Ren Saber hollow hilt for electronics

Keivan · Oct 20, 2015

oh no worries Guabe I just up the size of the hilt and reprinted it, I honestly just guessed, and scaled it by .2 or .3mm something not sure what and now it works.

i sanded the emitter opening so now the hilt is AWSOMEEEEEEE. and everything fits
have you cost to see how much would it be to get this hilt in metal? Aluminum maybe? is it going to be in the 100s or 1000s dollars?

best

Just printed the side spikes on my school printer in translucent plastic. They could be completely clear after processing that was available but I like the foggy look as well as the texture which I think would lend to the unstable look. I may paint it in translucent red but I'm going to wait until my saber is back after installs. Pictures don't pick it up well but light can definitely shine through and each spike will have an LED.

they look niceeee, the foggyness difusse the light better... btw

Recently printed v4 emitter on a home printer. 15 hours of printing - and I have this bad-looking result. I will spend many hours to machining with acetone and sandpaper. Maybe something happens.

guabe, why all parts are hollow? I think it leads to low strength. And, why there are the screws on the sides? I cant see it on celebration model.
Maybe you make this parts in v.5:
1. a stair here

2. this detail is gone

I find very detailed photoes here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/12377578@N07/sets/72157651753119278/page2

If the parts were solid you would see a lot more warping and distortion in your home print. I expect they are hollow to cut back on Shapeways printing cost - and their "strong and flexible" plastic IS rather strong.

The detail you point out appears to be a mold bubble left over from the stunt casting process which was not cleaned off.

the parts are hollow for electronics, but i can make a solid version no problem...

The V4 version is more like the FX from hasbro... the V2 is more like the celebration. prop.

You think it is casting model? It is written on the label "3D print".

I feel like the consensus is it's a rubber stunt cast. It has a molding seam line going up the side as well as the "droop" on the emitters. The Hero is what they're likely referring to, which was more than likely 3d printed and then cast in something more durable than what we say Celebration.

What software are you using? maybe the STL file is corrupted because the original 3d model is solid in that area and not hollow.

I open STL with 'Cura'. Both files (v.2 & v.4) are hollow inside (even the side tubes are hollow inside).

Files has been printed not by me, and I dont know what kind of software he use.

guabe · Oct 31, 2015

oh i see the problem, its the representation on the screen that seems that they are hollow but they are not. I think many people here have printed them at home and shapeways and the walls are solid.

I am working on V5 right now.

My version is hollow, 100%. Some pieces of support making sound inside hilt when I shake it.
V5 is amasing. Easy to print and to manipulate.

If the side parts could be pull out, you can make them without holes down below. Just modify spikes.

Ill print this at home later today to see if this one does the same...

Side tubes from V5 are hollow in 'Cure' software. You can print just this part to watch structure.
What kind of printer you have?

guabe · Oct 31, 2015

printbot simple metal but I use simplify3d software. Im not at home right now but I will print it once i get there... Ill try the side ports first.
