Luke ROTJ Hero Lightsaber 3D Print

I took a short break from designing some lightsabers to work on my FPH2 Boba helmet. But I am back with the Luke ROTJ Hero. I’ve never really liked the hero, but after working on this I have a new found love for this saber.

I’ve printed off a prototype and I’ve taken notes of things I need to fix or change. Mainly the activator box and changes to my printing gcode.

Let me know what you think of this.

Couple of questions for everyone.

1. If I offered resin casts of all of my sabers, would you be interested?

2. If you were going to purchase a resin lightsaber, would you want individually casted parts, to paint and assemble or a one part full lightsaber to paint?

3. How much would you spend on a resin cast lightsaber?

That's really nice looking!

Do you plan on sharing the .stl files so those of us with printers can print our own?

As there are funtional metal replicas from 175$ I don't see the sense for casted resin ones.

Even if it were low priced it needs a lot of work so final cost in inverted hours could be higher. But probably some people enjoy painting it, but for a lightsaber collector metal one is the only option.

I would totally be on board for solid casts!

this is a really nice design - I would make the thicker rings a bit thinner, the thin ones seem spot on. The ratio between the sizes is a bit less, i guess is what I mean. You nailed the emitter - a LOT of people screw those flanges up

Resin casts were heavily used on screen, and in exhibit displays post filming so I would say theres always a need :)

Also, for newer folks, sculpting a resin piece is SO much easier than working with metal.
 
So much great work on this site! I recently purchased a printer (purely for work!) but thought I'd try printing a lightsaber, purely to test it out and practice. lol I know some will say, this could be modelled better, be printed more efficiently or looks nothing like the dozen or so versions seen on screen but here is 'my' version which takes all the bits I enjoy about this hilt. Hope you like it, would love to hear feedback (good or bad!)

Cad That first pic is that your finished work? If so that looks like metal. Nice paint job.

Thanks, yes that is the finished paintwork. I’ve started a new version today and hope to get it even better.
