This customizable collapsible lightsaber is the fifth collection of many different designs that I wanted to create. This version is inspired by the lightsaber used by Darth Maul!

I am just getting into the 3D design space and trying new things with my 3D printer, and these lightsabers have been the result of my tinkering.

The sections screw together and meant to be interchangeable with all the parts in this collection. (This is part 4.)

Inspirations of this model:

The locking head was inspired by a design for a lightsaber uploaded by randomg (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6022622)

It took me quite a while to get this idea to work how I wanted with my own design.

How this design works:

You have to print two of these lightsabers and then twist the end caps together to connect.

Assembling the locking head can be tricky the first time.

First install the teeth on the tabs in the turning cap.

With the tab installed, press the head into the cap and twist back and forth until the tabs on the teeth find their place in the head.

Then simply turn the cap on the head to open or close.

Two button designs:

I couldn't determine which size of button I liked better, so I included both in the design to let the user choose their own preference!

You don't need both sizes. If you prefer one size, just print that size.

Originally the buttons were designed to snap in without glue, but in practice they are too small and I used glue to secure them.
