I modified your model a bit and added the plugs into the model because I just wanted a static hilt. Would you mind if I posted it?

No problem and thanks for askingI modified your model a bit and added the plugs into the model because I just wanted a static hilt. Would you mind if I posted it?

I can certainly make one.Will you be doing a tutorial on what electronics are needed and how to do it?
Ok so I have been modding the design for easy assembly. I changed it a bit and now made a coupler that will hold both ends together... Here is a cross section vide with the components inside... I am using a chasis that i designed for a Petit crouton board but will fit most boards. I also will be using a 7.4 v lion battery arangment of 2X18650. The led module is from TCSS and its the V3.

I am still debating on putting a recharge port or not.. if I do it will probably go on the end cap. Still working on the activation switch as I have to make some internal changes to run the wires.
Again this design is optimized for Shapeways printing... the home friendly version will be available shortly. It will be the same design just a bit more printer friendly.
By the way it will not be for dueling, its just costuming and display.
Thanks.
The attention to details from you and JJ Griffin is just outstanding, a real credit to the community.
I uploaded the newer model in shapeways.. I removed the older one since V2 is going to be my base design for all the versions (functional and non functional). I made slight model changes to improve the accuracy too.

Good continuations.
in this design they are illuminated by the same led so they wont ignite separetly. I will be using some mylar or reflective material inside the two ports but since they are small and will be white, they should illuminate just fine.Superb designing!
How will the side flares be illuminated?
Nevermind...I didn't see there was another page. I need to go to bed.
Again, you are doing a fantastic job!
I had not thought it was 2 halves.The last picture shows where the belt clip is attached. I believe that the body was printed in two halves then casted. The two halves are identical.
