Super terrific work!
I'm curious what method you used to light this saber?
It doesn't look dissimilar to the method ccodonnell0992 of imgur used in this post: http://m.imgur.com/gallery/tZcEa/comment/585985251

Just got the 14 piece kenobi and it is truly impressive. Wow! The attention to detail and the quality of the print are fantastic. I'm hoping to paint it up this weekend. It's nice to have a very affordable option to the nice metal replicas which are quite pricey.

...and here it is!
This is next to a 4 piece version done on a crappy machine. The quality was poor, so it was my test piece for painting. The nice one is on the left...you can see the difference in quality especially in the windvane and grenade:

Thank you! This was so much fun to paint and put together. The painting tutorial was really helpful as well. I'm going to try to make one more in the style of 'as first built by'. I don't want it quite pristine, but no rust...just a little wear.

Yeah, the demands of life prevent me from reading every post in a 9 page thread. Those look to be just the files, I don't have a 3D printer and I'm kind of new to the 3D printing game. Is there a way to get these printed, is their a Shapeways or Etsy seller? Did a search but I ended up with pages of results. You know how search engines go, I typed in "Obi-Wan Lightsaber" at Shapeways and got over 600 results, to include Kylo Ren saber parts, because, you know, Kylo Ren and Obi-Wan are so similar.........

I completely understand. I was looking for them too and just happened to have found them when I saw your post.
There's a "Print on 3D Hubs" button on the top-right. I've never done it, but it probably loads it to an account on 3dhubs.com where you can print it at some local 3d printing place in your town. Give it a whirl?
I'll give that a shot, thank you.
Check out the first post...
He made it readily available:

I printed off just the clamp a few months back on shapeways, so once you have all the pieces downloaded you can do with them what you like-- he released it to the public. I don't recall the exact price, but on shapeways the complex version was still close to $200

Can't wait to see that either, keep up the good work! [emoji106]
Just curious The Keeper if you have any plans to make your 3D designs for the V2 publicly available? It's terrifically made.

Great to see this is still alive and kicking!
Don't forget about the Pin fix for those having troubles printing the small parts:
https://www.youmagine.com/designs/light-saber-pin-and-switch-revision
3D hubs is a good choice if you can find the right seller, be sure to choose PLA or PET(G). ABS will cause you undo stress.
Keep in mind I designed this on an Ultimaker so if you have that as an option -that's a safe bet. There are a ton of people who have successfully printed it on other printers. But some printers will do rafts on everything which will also not be so good for this design.
Lastly we offer kits now, if it makes sense for you great! if not, 3D hubs may be able to get it to you cheaper since it's local.
IMO, shapeways/Imaterialize services aren't worth it for this model since it's designed specifically for FDM printing on Desktop printers. Usually you go to shapeways for things you CANT do on desktop printers, and paying a premium for it. Unless you need specific materials and finish, it will be pricey to go with shapeways.

Now if you just used this clamp with the Obi saber, that would be awesome!
