GBDave's Functioning Lightsaber Project

(Commercial use of this design as well as its parts is prohibited. Contact me directly to discuss commercial use.)

This is my first attempt at making an (almost) fully 3D printable, functioning, prop lightsaber.

If anyone has experience building lightsabers and has any recommendations or suggestions or wants to collaborate I'm open to hear from you.

A met a guy from Florida, USA a few years ago that makes amazing lightsabers (https://www.facebook.com/DarthXanthus?ref=br_rs) and I've always a wanted to make one myself.

So this year I came up with the idea that motivated me to actually pull the trigger and do it; I want to win the $500 Halloween Costume contest at a local bar here in Rochester, NY, USA.

The goal for the project is to make a visually stunning and affordable lightsaber prop so I bought all the electronics to make a simple saber from The Custom Saber Shop (http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/) and am loosely following the plans at https://www.instructables.com
