Collapsing Sith Lightsaber

This model is restricted by licensing terms. 

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.

how long does it take

How many walls should the vase version of the blades have? I have it set as 2, but not sure this is correct. I haven't printed it yet.

3D Printing World

Vase mode will print with a single line so you need to change the line width. There is more info on this on my troubleshooting page.

does the hilt need supports cause when i sliced it it shows supports? also should i use horizontal expansion (-0.5mm)?

3D Printing World
3dprintingworld

Supports are not needed. Typically the issue is the seam catching, not sure if a negative horizontal expansion will help.

Why are all the files for vase made solid???

3D Printing World

the blades still fall through each even after watching the trouble shooting video. is there any other setting i need to change?

If you are printing in vase mode, you need to change your line width.

can I print this on a resin printer?

I dont know to be honest.

When I print the blades in vase mode they fall through each other, my extrusion multiplier is already at 0.98, should I still increase this? Would you have a suggestion by how much? I did watch the trouble shooting video.

Strange that they are still fallign thru, I would make sure you are changing the correct setting. I know you have to change it a couple places Orca, Prusa, and Bambu slicers.
