Rey’s Lightsaber

This is my take on the lightsaber Rey is holding at the very end of Rise of Skywalker. I saw the movie 4 times in the theater and on the last visit, even took a picture of it with my phone (shhh, these aren’t the droids you’re looking for. Move along). Even so, getting a really good definitive look at it is hard. It’s probably on Google by now, but hey.

So use his files to print your blade.

I realize that Rey’s blade color is yellow, but I do not have one printed in yellow at the moment, so I used a red one I had sitting here for demonstration purposes.

In order to make the top opening functional, I had to take some liberties with the design. Also, to make it 3d printer friendly. Despite both, I think it’s a pretty awesome rendition.

The Top piece with the opening triangle is a print-in-place part and should function. I am still making minor adjustments to it, so you may see an update in the near future.

In one picture, I show some blue masking tape on the threads on the hilt. The two parts work darn well together, but when I tried to design them with a tighter fit, the layer edges caused too much friction and made it hard to turn the top unit. SO, they are a tad loose right now. I discovered that a piece of blue masking tape on each thread really made the whole thing function much more smoothly. I will play with that sizing in the design and maybe able to shore it up in the future.
