RGB Saber

Description

Collapsible 3D printed light-saber made using strip of neopixels and a custom PCB in the bottom hilt to control power and motion effects. Made with translucent filament, and electronics.

Motivation

I built this project to beacuse it combines my interests in 3D printing, electronics, and programming. I wanted a fun toy that invovles cadding, custom PCB, microcontroller, all while being cool.
