Making a 3D-Printed Sith Lightsaber Kit!

It's difficult to electroplate plastic because it is no conductive

Sean is increasingly one of my favorite parts of Tested. The stuff he builds is incredible. Sean's very talented and clearly works hard. Great job on this one!

[@wigglyboots2]

Norm struggles the whole video to not say lightsaber, then titles the video "Making a 3D printed sith lightsaber."

[@uglygiantbagsofmostlywater]

yeah it was the same with their Lego (inspired) fleshy cosplay. Maybe somebody got into some legal problems.

[@carnage2332]

is has more to do with terms and agreements you agree to as a poster, Your videos can easily get flagged when the content mentions certain things....its kinda a nightmare. If he sold any part of it and stated that it was a lightsaber its a copyright issue.

[@chase_h.01]

and then puts "lightsaber" in the title anyway.

[@bazzie85]

KZbin is worth about 70 Billion to google. The richest man alive is worth 75 Billion. It CAN be done... Except, that man is Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft. Not sure if handing over KZbin to Microsoft is much better than keeping it with Google lol

[@jonas1015119]

The crystal is not were the energy comes from, there is a battery cell in the lower part of the hilt.

[@banjobill8420]

The crystal channels and intesifies the energy from the batteries otherwise the saber would be about as harmful as a flashlight

[@jonas1015119]

Deadly Cuddles Yes, but the energy doesnt come from the crystal itself. Strictly speaking it would first go through the primary crystal, the red one in the middle is just the focus crystal, who gives the color and allows for adjustments in length, strength, etc

[@marcuswarmuth4533]

Omg a man of culture

[@FinalConsensus]

Lightsabers aren't real

[@FearGFX]

Sorry for the fanboyish correction but the energy for the lightsaber doesnt come from the crystal, it comes from a Diatium power cell. The crystal focuses the energy into a beam and gives special properties to the blade depending on the properties and origin of the crystal.

[@vengervoldur6534]

I know lightsabers are cool and all. I mean... FRIKKIN LIGHTSABERS! But, I gotta ask, do their pommels unscrew? Cuz as good as a lighsaber is, you can't beat a thrown pommel. Especially if it's a chunky one.

[@Videocrazymachine]

[@davidd2636]

3D printing is amazing, it's potential is very promising!

[@rapini7148]

It really is, the toys/collectable industry is probably gonna take a huge hit when it starts to become affordable and a household item.

[@TabishBish]

Wow.... That is speechlessly Badass .... Well done, guys!

[@radicalxedward8047]

I wish there was a lot more 3D printable models like this. Most people just take a full model and print it like a figure instead of an assembleable model.

[@FullRythym]

For those wondering, the print says, in Sith transcript: Charlesworth Dynamics

[@TheJorith]

Sean has gotten so much more relaxed to watch! Happy to see cause he really has the spirit for this! Great work as always!

[@BlobVanDam]

Is that printer fine on that wobbly table as they're bumping it, or is this printing technology durable enough to handle it?

[@UNSCPILOT]

Sometimes yes, sometimes no, depends on the printer, in general a solid table is best for printing fore sure though

[@trickykid73]

That printer noise is going to be in my head for the next few hours .

[@UNSCPILOT]

Find the sound soothing honestly, been too long since I ran my printer, perhapse it's time to get the double benefit of running it to make a couple lightsabers

[@rasmusjohansen2375]

I wanna see more of this Lightsaber stuff

[@elroyvuurtoren8427]

Totally agree

"So you could actually just clobber them with the hilt" my kinda guy

[@qwertyferix]

[@MichaelGrandGaming]

The printer reminds me of something you would see in Star Trek. Very cool!

[@TheAkujiki]

Norm continues to interrupt other speakers, I'm guessing it's just how it is lol. Recently found this channel and like the content so far.

[@ninjapanties9631]

"I can tell by the pointy parts". Norm is a true child

[@Spaced_Invader]

Impressive... most impressive...

[@twinturbostang]

Sounds like you need to adjust the Z offset in the printer settings if it's "compressing" the first few layers. My friends Form 2 does that. Whereas mine is just the opposite and adds about 0.2 mm extra material to the bottom of prints. This can also change when swapping to a new resin tank if the peel layer is at a slightly different height.

[@ShaddyWoohooMan]

Wow that's a really cool model *shows the inside* WHAAAAT

[@augustbiernbaum4841]

"I can tell by the pointy parts!" Norm sounds so proud. ;)

awesome work, looks dark side :)

[@MarkCEstep]

Question: I've been thinking of buying a 3D printer. Did the lightsaber require any sanding to smooth?

[@UNSCPILOT]

Using SLA requires basically no sanding, FDM printers will have layer lines that you may want to sand down

[@brandondickerson6313]

Best conventional industrial 3D printer is by nScrypt hands down. Smallest print jobs in the world, multi-material, multi-head, and many more features customers enjoy.

[@realitycubed4448]

Is that "power pin from a movie light" what they used on the left side of the Bladerunner/Deckard's Gun? It looks like the rod attached to the 5 round cylinder cover on the outside. If not, it looks like a damn close proxy for Adam's obsession.

[@leggo0]

Man I wish I had an SLA printer. I'd love to put this together.

[@SharpnessSword]

[@lamename5290]

could you 3D print Harambe?

[@fallensprays4135]

[@warrenal00]

Will fully assembled models be available to be bought for some of us who do not have access to a 3D printer?

[@thephatnguyen]

Unlikely, the price will be tremendously expansive and isn't worth. I wouldn't be surprised if a kit based from 3D printer would cost in the 400$+. At least that is what I would charge to change my mind. The printing time could easily reach days and days, and constant checking is required. Any warp could easily fail the whole printing batch. The resin alone is expansive and can range up to 120$ the liter. FDM alone is quite slow to generate parts, and SLA printer is way more slowlier.

[@warrenal00]

+thephatnguyen oh didn't think about print time. Makes sense though, thanks for pointing that out to me!

[@sogwatchman]

What was the point of sounding awkward calling it a lasersword dozens of times and then titling the video lightsaber?

[@TomResnick]

Reference to George Lucas - he always called 'em "laserswords," not lightsabers.

[@jedijeremy]

Also, Lawyers. No-one's sure what the legal status of calling something a "lightsaber" is. Given they're completely fictional and you can't actually make one, it should be fine. But no-one really wants to give George the chance to own their house via your crazy legal system.

[@taeyounglee3380]

Jeremy Lee If he get's your house, he's probably gonna "remaster" it with shitty cgi furnature or some shit.

[@RobertWilsonCollectables]

if anyone is interrested the luke return of the jedi lightsaber he has is a modified saberforge prodical son

[@ryecmd]

I have yet to make my own lightsaber.

[@steven03048]

A possibility to buy the parts in a kit would be an idea because i don't have the money for an 3000$ 3d printer...

[@AllAroundGamingTv]

Awesome

[@dashrendar8739]

I think in reality most lightsabers would be very minimalistic. These lightsabers look cool but don't look like something a Padawan would build out of scrap parts.

[@TommieTF]

FDM printers can use way more plastics than only PLA and ABS, like PETG, HIPS, Nylon, TPU etc.

[@AHeadC]

He didn't say it couldn't. He was comparing just melting plastics to having specific formulas for the resins.

[@lviscoutino]

ESTÁ DE LUJO!!!

[@samhudson390]

Does anyone know where to get that lightsaber that resembles Luke's at the beginning of the video? The weathering on it reminds me of SaberForge's style but I don't think I've ever seen that design in their store. Edit: I just got to the part where he talks about how he came up with the design, by just putting random parts and junk together to see what he could get out of it. That's the way the prop guys for ANH came up with Obi-Wan's lightsaber which, in my opinion, is the best designed hilt in the whole saga.

[@arosenheim]

It looks like you had an aurebesh inscription on the side. What is the English translation?

[@WegmansLover]

What watch is Sean wearing?

[@AbjectPermanence]

What does the Aurebesh inscription say?

[@emilioesteves8434]

Where can I buy this kit!!!!

[@Felix.Garcia]

Wonder how it would turn out if i try printing this in PLA....

[@JacobdeFries]

Serious question: if one were to print the pieces and send them to Europe (the Netherlands), how much would it cost? Not asking for a friend...

[@elydriscoll3392]

can this be printed with a fdm printer or is it just too intricate?

[@padoco73]

You mentioned using it before, but I'm guessing C4D?

[@merlin6707]

I built my lightsaber inspired laser sword hilt using parts from Custom Saber Shop.

[@terrahintz8580]

They need to start making Roblox items like the Dominus and the domino crown that would be so cool!

[@MickeyCuervo36]

Too bad you can't just buy the kit already printed. I wonder if you could send the files off to Shapeways or something.

3D printing takes a lot of the fun of building it by hand. Skills are being lost for more technical equipment to do the hard work. God forbid there is ever a collapse to our infrastructure that supports said tech, people will be lost like zombies because they have no clue how to go back to actual skills
