These Guys 3D Printed Their Own Force Awakens Lightsaber


Have you noticed the new Star Wars trailer? Do you, like Darrell, observe all sorts of blueprint flaws in that oh-so-medieval lightsaber they exposed?
If you wish for one of your own to test your supposition, you could stay in anticipation of Disney starts slinging’ them on the shelf for $50 a pop. Or you might bust out the 3D printer (copier) and get to swing in’ today.
French 3d printing store leFabShop required to give the innovative Claymore-style saber a turn, so
they planned and printed their own, piece-by-piece. It still telescopes!
Better yet, they’ve joint the printable files on Thingiverse, so you can publish one of your personal. A word of concern, though: you’ll wish for to be pretty common with your printer previous to diving into this one. With a good 20+ swappable pieces to produce, your printer will exist churning away for a though.
Is it wonderful? Eh, maybe not. The clip in the preview was dark and some details were hard to collect. Temporarily, they put this thing jointly crazy quick. But to build amazing like this within days of the trailer’s release? 3D printing is wonderful, and the bright people who make stuff like this are still better.
