Luke Skywalker's Hero Saber - ROTJ

Description

This is my take on Luke's ROTJ Hero saber. It is based off schematics found online that were created from a molding of the original prop. This includes small details like the 2mm and 3mm rings on the ‘grenade grip’.  

And now an interesting nerd fact:  This saber was selected as the official Luke Skywalker ROTJ saber (there were 6 used in the film).  Disney, prop companies (like Master Replicas) and toy companies all use this saber as the basis for their designs.  However, this saber was never actually in ROTJ.  It was used in one deleted scene where Luke was constructing the hilt in a cave on Tatooine.  Now you may be asking yourself, where do I get the model of the saber Luke had in most of ROTJ?  I've got you covered!

Like most of my models, this one requires no glue (I hate glue!) or supports - just print and assemble.

This print is designed for an AMS with as few color swaps as possible.

I recommend printing this on a smooth plate.

Filament:

• Ziro Silk Silver PLA
• Sunlu Red Copper PLA
• Sunlu Brass PLA
• Sunlu Green PLA
• Kingroon Red PLA
• Elegoo Black PLA

Print Settings:

• 0.16mm layer height
• 3 walls for threaded parts, 2 walls for everything else
• 20% infill for threaded parts, 15% for everything else

Notes:

• Smooth PEI Hot Plate Recommended
• Designed for an AMS
• I have included the Bambu A1 print profile

I hope you enjoy this model and I welcome any feedback!
