Collapsing Lightsaber
This Lightsaber has a removable collapsing blade that can be printed separately in a different color. The hilt is designed with a screw on cap which allows the blade to be inserted after its printed. The hilt is 209mm long with the cap installed but it expands to over 950mm in total length with the collapsing blade installed!
Its designed to be printed with a ,4mm nozzle, with a line thickness of .43, so the blade will be two shells thick. The test print can be found here.
Detailed printing instructions can be found on my website

I would verify in your slicer that its actually retracting, you can turn it on in the viewer.
wait do i need to download all of the blade files to have it full length
You can print them one at a time in vase mode or all at once.
What kind of light does it use? Thanks
I am printing the saber blades in vase mode. Blade one is the tip and then blade 2 is open at one end and closed at the other. Is this correct that it is closed at the one end?
The tip is the only one that should be closed, the rest should be open. Turn top and bottom layers off.
Wait, is the inside hollow?
Yes
Wait...I only see three files...blade, cap, and hilt...shouldn't there be another 5 files for if you want to print in vase mode?
**Edit: I am dumb. The SITH lightsaber doesn't have STLs for the vase mode, but this one does. Are the blades between this and the sith lightsaber interchangeable?
Vaders blade fit but are just a little shorter.
