Lightsaber stand with LEDs:
I made this for fun and for myself, but noticed many would like to have it. So with these files you can replicate it.
See it in action: https://youtu.be/YLdi7sw-ORc
Please do upload your own makes to show off and tag me/credit me if you use it anywhere else! I look very much forward to your prints/versions!
For the LEDs, these are the versions I used:
for the saber holder you need LED strips, 10mm max in width:Example
and remote so you can change the LED sequences
(you can of course source them somewhere else as long as the dimensions are the same)
Note: Oleg@4K made a better remix of my base of the saber stand to fit the LEDs easier- please check in the comments section to download that.
Suggestions:
You can print every part without support, except for the saber holder - unless you use a resin printer, then the support you need is minimal and the result much nicer. But I have successfully printed all parts in PLA.
For the diffuser disc and the plate.stl, use transparent PETG. They are meant to cover up the LEDs and I highly suggest you do not skip that part - it makes the stand look much better, otherwise you see exposed LEDs.
I painted the Star Wars logo silver, but you can do as you like and I think it would look very nice if it was done with a separate extruder/color.

No, recommended LED rings do not fit the stand. Yes, I have ordered from the link you have in the description, exactly the same LED rings. I have also counted the LEDs and those are exactly the rings you suggest to use. As you can see on the photos attached, those rings do not fit the stand printed at 100%.
