3D printed a blade plug for my ultrasaber. Will post pictures of the actual saber as soon as I'm done with my customizations. I think this blade plug looks really cool because the infill pattern makes it looks like a gradient of lighter and darker blues that creates alot of depth in the plug.

Ha, yeah I want one already! It looks pretty sweet. I wonder if they make the material you can 3D Print things in with a glow-in-the-dark quality? Then it'd soak up the light and glow once the saber is turned off, or simply moving into the dark from sunlight; like if you were just wearing it on your hip and go indoors. Worth looking into.

Yes, they do, as a matter of fact.  I have several GITD items that fit my flashlights.  When the light is on, they act as diffusers, effectively turning my flashlights into lanterns, and when I shut off the light, they glow.

I would like to point out, though, that the material I have seen used is NOT the new-fangled stuff that is insanely bright, though.

Here’s a link to one  of the products I’ve bought, so you can contact the seller and see if he’ll share the source of his GITD material with you.

I believe I’m safe in posting this link, since I make no money from it, and since it is not a link to a competing light saber company, but if I’m wrong, I hereby apologize in advance, and ask the moderators to remove the link.

That's a really good idea. Glow in the Dark filament is abundant. I haven't bought any yet, though, because one roll would print hundreds of these things, and I had clear lying around.

I wish I had a dual extruder printer, though, because ideally I'd do a crysta shape in the plugl in glow in the dark and the rest not so when you turned it off there would be a glowing outline of a crystal. There's even a few designs out there I could borrow from that have a crystal embedded in the plug.

Oh yeah, the various crystal blade plugs I've seen crafted for individual use are impressive at times. I saw a member make his own and liked the look. I have several such crystals, so I want to do one myself one day; to say I constructed a part of my lightsaber or as a personal touch. I have no idea how much a roll of that stuff would cost, but probably not cheap. I can't think of anyone near me anymore with the capability or I'd conspire with or bankroll them to make me a one off custom item. Kind of fun to say "this is one of a kind because I made it, or designed it." I love seeing people doing wild additions to US, or post production mods. That way if having fun filming I can give other participants my stock US and run my custom versions personally. Or leave these adaptations for disaplay only. It's why I feel like when I one day build my own I'll use a favorite US hilt from my wish list...

Fun fact: my grip shroud on my Dark Apprentice" build is a custom design that was 3D printed by Sedsti Skyfaller. My design started with a piece of packaging from an Axe scrubber sponge for the shower. I liked the shape so much it is also the basis for the emitter shroud in my "Invictus" build as well. Check out pics below.

Ok, not only is that a bit funny but pretty clever. You're using one thing and say "Hmmm this is the perfect grip, why just scrub away dirt when I can also dispatch my enemies with ease and a non slip grip?" Well done. Pretty classy/inventive.

even better than that! It's not the scrubber but a piece of the packaging
