DESCRIPTION

This is a super accurate replica of Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber hilt from Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. I tried to be as exact as possible in every detail (using a bunch of images from the original hero prop as references).

ASSEMBLY VIDEO
I do have a video on assembling this (https://youtu.be/Kk2hqF99Y1c) if you want to check it out. If not, I've left some notes below to help you out.

KIT
If you're on this site, you probably have a 3D printer. If not (or if you don't want to buy the quite expensive metal infused filament) you can purchase a kit with the components here: https://sabercpp.etsy.com/listing/1800336635

INSTRUCTIONS

EXPLAINING THE FILES
You only need to download the zip file, which contains all of the necessary models neatly laid out in their folders. (I only uploaded the pommel .stl because Thingiverse required it.)
Each 'section' is in its own folder.
Each model ends in _Material (eg _Brass, _Plastic) so you know what material it should be printed from.
Once you've printed everything, I recommend assembling each 'section' before putting the sections together, to make sure you don't accidentally keep one section from being able to be assembled.

PRINTING THE SABER
For the pictures above (and below) I used the following filaments:
Stainless Steel from Protopasta: https://proto-pasta.com/products/stainless-steel-pla?variant=1204178344&aff=188
Copper from Protopasta: https://proto-pasta.com/products/copper-metal-composite-htpla?variant=33706473455747&aff=188
Brass from Protopasta: https://proto-pasta.com/products/brass-metal-composite-htpla?variant=33706471653507&aff=188
Shiny Black from Geetech (can just be any black filament): https://amzn.to/3XLkhw1

I also switched out my 3D printer's nozzle for a 0.6mm one.

I did not use any supports for any of the models, they're designed so that supports aren't needed.
Most of the parts should be printed at 0.1mm layer thickness, but you can get away with 0.2 (maybe even 0.3) for the grip, the main part of the activator, the main part of the booster, and the pommel.

SANDING
You can see the pictures below to help understand what your parts should look like.
The black plastic pieces don't need to be sanded, only the metal ones.
The metal pieces don't look like much until you sand/polish them, and you do have to spend some time to get them to look like metal.
I sanded mine with 220 grit (to remove layer lines), then 320 grit, and finally 2000 grit (for some pieces I also used 5000 and 7000 grit as well).

ASSEMBLY
As mentioned above, you should assemble each section before assembling the final saber.(eg assemble the cover tech wheel and glue it to the booster before gluing the pommel to the booster. The main section this matters for is the activator, which has the black piece that needs to slide into it before you glue something above or below it.)

LICENSE EXPLANATION

You are free to use this model for personal use.
Donations are always appreciated but never required.
You can't use this model for commercial use (eg you can't sell the model, you can't sell a modified version of the model, and you can't sell a 3D print you made using this model). If that's a problem for you, feel free to message me (or comment on one of my YouTube videos, I'm more likely to see it there).
