The Mandalorian Darksaber model designed by Polymath314 is gorgeous and I wanted to print it with the right color filaments to avoid painting anything so I split it up. The biggest challenge was setting up the hilt so the gray stripes were separated from the black areas but would still be easy enough to print. I managed to get it all to fit just right for me, but I wonder how well the tolerances work for other people.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
