[New Files!] A floating Luke Skywalker Lightsaber has been added to the January Specialist rewards!
🕑 Added 2025-01-07 16:03:42 +0000 UTCWe've made a file that uses this awesome magnetic shoe display before but finally got around to making one of the more obvious props to use with it - a Lightsaber!
Unfortunately there aren't many good candidates for this system since you need a specific emitter style to fit the floating magnet but we've got a few more planned.
How it works: The lightsaber screws together and encloses the magnet. You can then add counterweights and insert it into the display. The files should include all the links and tutorials you need!
Hope you all enjoy! If you don't recognize the guy in the video, his name is Gari! He is our newest hire and brings with him a ton of advanced metalworking knowledge and makes a great addition to the team, be on the lookout for him in future content!

Dont think i going to get the shoe display in any near future ( space issue #badumtssss ) but was thinking if printing this, would a metal rod instead add good weight to it?

We are makers - let’s bust out our calipers and get one of these displays opened up. 150 in Maple Syrup Coupons 🇨🇦 is too damn high! Sweet design though!

500g before or after the magnet is added?

It’s not much of a saving but it’s better than nothing

Take some Black Vinyl. Cut the Deathstar wall panel pattern out and run along the light fixture.

Not many shoe display left in the uk. Wonder why 🤔
Well Armed Ogre
Now we just need a skeletal Luke hand holding it

So thinking. If it is capable of being lay horizontal and it still holding the saber in place. Fixing it to a wall. Then the black parts of the holder covering the outer panels so it looks like the panels from the death star wall.
Mathew Baldwin
excellent - thank you

I'm not sure I follow

The magnet is included in the shoe display. Since it depends on your print settings you could either need more or less weight added afterwards. As long as you get to the 500 grams somehow you'll be okay.
Mathew Baldwin
The files nor the video describe the size of magnet required. What is needed there? Additionally 'adding counter weight' in the video is just the presenter putting in some small metal nuts. Is there a best practice or really just what will hold it down - Might be concerned it will sound like a baby rattle if picked up if the weighted content is not glued in place.

Super, I love the concept, I'm going to do a direct. Is it full of magnets you're adding inside?
