This is a step up from the other lightsaber hilt because the hilt can be printed in two parts and is screwed together.
You can print the blade in a different filament now that the hilt and the blade are separate. Also if the blade breaks you can easily print another blade to replace it.

This lightsaber is fully working by extending and retracting. You swing it out to extend and to retract carefully push the blade back in.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
